Effect of public projects abandonment on clients and host communities: A study of Idah Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria
Authors: A. Z. Obaje; B. U. Udegbunam; J. Ali
Year: 2023

This paper is an assessment of the effects of abandonment of public projects on the clients and the supposed beneficiary (the host community). Nigeria has a colossal phenomenon of abandoned public projects scattered all over the federation resulting in the denial of the intended benefit of such projects to Nigerians if completed and functional. Projects are initiated to meet human need. Their eventual abandonment should obviously have adverse effects on the client, contractors, consultants, the construction industry and the society at large. Therefore, this paper assessed factors responsible for the abandonment of public projects, especially building projects and their effects on the client and the communities in Idah Local Government Area of Kogi State, considering the large size of the population. The study adopts Taro Yamani's sample size formula to select 1000 respondents out of which 900 respondents completed and returned the questionnaires distributed to them. The data obtained from the questionnaire was statistically analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) method. It was discovered among other things, that factors such as payment remittance delay, instability in leadership and improper project planning were responsible for project abandonment. It is, therefore, recommended among others that to forestall future public project abandonment, there should be an innovative planning and best practices of project management, excellent time phasing and policy of zero tolerance for project abandonment amongst other recommendations.
Proactively Monitoring Large Project Portfolios
Authors: Michael Hopmere; L. Crawford; M. Harré
Year: 2020

The discipline of project management has evolved over the years, yet projects still run into trouble, failing entirely, running late, or not delivering expected benefits. Program and portfolio managers need assistance identifying potentially troubled projects while they are being delivered, allowing time to intervene. We report on our investigation of whether project status reports from IT project portfolios can be used to predict projects that may be trending into trouble ahead of time. We found that this initial approach resulted in a high degree of accurate predictions opening new avenues of research in predicting project progress and health.

Authors: T. Krishna; R. Thakur; Deepak Kumar
Year: 2007

The paper describes Web enabled cost effective innovative means to build, customise and sustain development of document repositories based digital library for knowledge resource sharing, competence & intellect building. We propose a framework model of document repository implementation and related application based on open source software. Implementation of the model on organisation's Intranet while providing security for ethical use provides better and efficient management of the repository. Further, this leads to innovative enabling means of facilitation of knowledge management in form of sharing technical documents, reports, notices, process assets and work within the organisation. Such an operational test prototype implementation of our work provides a strong basis that our model and strategy can serve good return in providing easy document repositories based digital library and related knowledgebase, which are desired by organisations for effective project management, execution and implementation.
Impact mechanism of organizational culture on organizational effectiveness from competing values framework prospective in Chinese context
Authors: Y. Song; Y. Le; Yaqin Wang
Year: 2016

Organizational culture is context-specific and it can impact organizational effectiveness in certain mechanism. From Competing Values Framework (CVF) prospective, this study examines the correlations among organizational culture, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and organizational effectiveness. Furthermore, this study analyzes the possible mediating role of OCB in the relationship between organizational culture and organizational effectiveness. A questionnaire-based survey was used to measure the related constructs. The results suggest that OCB partially mediates the impact of organizational culture on organizational effectiveness. The results also indicate the feasibility of impact mechanism of organizational culture on effectiveness. The research findings provide the implications for project management literature and practices.
The Autism Advocacy Group – a project utilising advice from autistic people to improve mental health services
Authors: Phoebe Toms; S. Doswell; Dorota Ali
Year: 2022

A project was undertaken, offering advocacy to mental health services across an NHS Trust. Despite a number of challenges, including difficulty recruiting and maintaining advocates and a number of staff changes, advocacy was provided to a range of mental health services. All six services made changes as a result of engaging with the project, expressed an increased understanding of the needs of autistic people and stated that this learning will influence their future work. Advocates fed back that being part of the project was empowering, although improvements could have been made around training and communication, as well as staff knowledge and expertise in relation to project management. Positive outcomes from the project included guidance shared across the Trust, the introduction of a Service User and Carer Advisory Group (SUCAG) and lessons generalised to other co-production projects including a sensory project.
Learning to collaboratively design software systems
Authors: D. Richards; Andreas U. Kuswara
Year: 2009

In a study conducted in 2004 we found that our students recognized the need to collaborate but that, due to inadequate communication skills, limited time and lack of experience and training in group work, the extent to which they collaborated was far less than they believed to be ideal. Since the advent of Web 2.0 we were interested to see if these increasingly tech-savvy digital natives were choosing to both collaborate more and to use technology to do so. In particular, we consider how 29 groups in a second year software analysis and design unit utilized a collaboration and project management tool known as TRAC. We suggest that different patterns of usage were observed due to different perceived affordances of the technology driven by students' interests and needs. We characterize the affordances and conclude that while we are seeing an increase in collaboration mediated by technology, more intended intervention is needed to assist students to discover a wider range of affordances.
Using the COSMIC Method to Evaluate the Quality of the Documentation of Agile User Stories
Authors: J. Desharnais; Bugra Kocatürk; A. Abran
Year: 2011

Agile Project Management (APM) must adopt dynamic project plans to better handle the uncertainty and unpredictability associated with the Agile Software Development (ASD) methodologies. For these dynamic project plans, the functional size of the evolving requirements can be measured with COSMIC measurement method. To support this measurement activity, the quality of the documentation of the user stories, which represent the user requirements, is important to be interpreted correctly. In the research reported here, the COSMIC method is used to analyze and report on the quality of the documentation of user stories.

Authors: N. Kyrych; O. Mosiy; Halyna Mashlij; Vasyl Horbatiuk
Year: 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the changes in management process at enterprises in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine influenced all areas of activity and all industries. Transformations in management processes in organizations have also undergone. The study is based on the analysis of literature and experience in war. Methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization are used to understand and identify the main aspects of management transformation. Management processes in organizations during the war have their own characteristics. The main changes in the management process relate to four management functions – planning, organizing, motivation and control are defined. It is revealed that during the war business organizations change the time horizons of planning and move from strategic to tactical and operational planning. When it becomes dangerous to work, there are interruptions of electro-, heat, water supply, prices for raw materials, materials, goods are increasing, there is not enough labor, lack of fuel, strategic plans become inappropriate. Increasingly, organizations are practicing partial or complete transfer of physical space to online environment. The key aspects of business transition into virtual format are identified: communication, remote work, online sales and customer service, cybersecurity, process optimization, data restoration and backup, training and staff development, accessibility, adaptation of marketing strategies, process and project management, data analysis and tracking indicators, adaptation of company culture. The key to maintaining motivation is to preserve the opportunities for career development and professional growth of workers, increase wages, provide financial bonuses or compensation for risk for workers in the area of hostilities, providing social packages, health insurance for families. Possible aspects of changes in control are the introduction of new security, monitoring and control measures, as well as cooperation with the authorities and security authorities. The results of the study can be used by the managers of organizations for development of strategies and practical approaches to achieve sustainability and success in time of war.
Use of Feedback Loop Control Theory in Software Project Productivity Control A Simulation Study
Authors: Francisco Valdés; J. Valeriano-Assem
Year: 2020

. Several studies have shown that one of the main problems in software development is control of the projects to accomplish the specific constraints in terms of cost, time, and scope. Several performance evaluation techniques have been developed from the project management perspective. However, these techniques are not often utilized in practice for software projects, and when they are utilized, they provide information to project managers that are analyzed based on their own experience defining actions that are challenging to replicate in distinct contexts. In this paper, the feedback loop control theory, very often used in other disciplines to ensure that a certain operation of a specific process accomplishes particular behavior under certain conditions and constraints, is applied to a software development project simulation, modeling the team capacity in terms of productivity as a plant.
Practitioner consensus on the determinants of capacity building practice in high-income countries
Authors: E. Swanepoel; A. Fox; R. Hughes
Year: 2014

Abstract Objective To assess and develop consensus among experienced public health nutrition practitioners from high-income countries regarding conceptualisation of capacity building in practice, and to test the content validity of a previously published conceptual framework for capacity building in public health nutrition practice. Design A Delphi study involving three iterations of email-delivered questionnaires testing a range of capacity determinants derived from the literature. Consensus was set at >50 % of panellists ranking items as ‘very important’ on a five-point Likert scale across three survey rounds. Setting Public health nutrition practice in Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA. Subjects Public health nutrition practitioners and academics. Result A total of thirty expert panellists (68 % of an initial panel of forty-four participants) completed all three rounds of Delphi questionnaires. Consensus identified determinants of capacity building in practice including partnerships, resourcing, community development, leadership, workforce development, intelligence and quality of project management. Conclusions The findings from the study suggest there is broad agreement among public health nutritionists from high-income countries about how they conceptualise capacity building in public health nutrition practice. This agreement suggests considerable content validity for a capacity building conceptual framework proposed by Baillie et al. (Public Health Nutr 12, 1031–1038). More research is needed to apply the conceptual framework to the implementation and evaluation of strategies that enhance the practice of capacity building approaches by public health nutrition professionals.
Determinants of the Success of Information Techology Project Management in Thailand
Authors: G. Winley
Year: 2015

A theoretical model of information technology (IT) project management was formulated based on the results of previous studies incorporating transactional and transformational leadership styles, team diversity, and team culture as determinants of team processes and project outcomes. The study addresses the lack of previous studies of IT projects and is concerned with infrastructure and software projects conducted in cross‐functional environments with co‐located teams in the context of Thailand. The model was tested and developed to a final model using data collected from a sample of 219 professionals with experience in IT projects in Thailand. The results confirmed several reported effects of leadership styles, team diversity, and culture on team cooperation, cohesion, and conflict and their subsequent effects on performance and psychosocial project outcomes. The findings highlighted results not commonly reported in previous studies of IT project management concerning the role of dominant cultural characteristics of Thai society at the level project teams as well as important direct effects of leadership styles and aspects of team diversity on performance and psychosocial outcomes. Based on the findings practical recommendations for improving IT project outcomes are presented.
Developing a Dynamic and Responsive Online Learning Environment: A Case Study of a Large Australian University
Authors: J. Buchan
Year: 2010

Charles Stuart University adopted the open source software, Sakai, as the foundation for the university's new, integrated Online Learning Environment. This study explores whether a pedagogical advantage exists in adopting such an open source learning management system. Research suggests that the community source approach to development of open source software has many inherent pedagogical advantages, but this paper examines whether this is due to the choice of open source software or simply having access to appropriate technology for learning and teaching in the 21st century. The author also addresses the challenges of the project management methodology and processes in the large-scale implementation of an open-source courseware management solution at the institutional level. Consequently, this study outlines strategies that an institution can use to harness the potential of a community source approach to software development to meet the institutional and individual user needs into the future.

Applying a Video-based Requirements Engineering Technique to an Airport Scenario
Authors: B. Brügge; Oliver Creighton; Maximilian Reiss; H. Stangl
Year: 2008

In the development of software-intensive systems, the interaction between customer and supplier is usually text-based. We argue that with agile project management gaining momentum, the inclusion of end-user feedback and a better mutual understanding between customer and supplier on hardware and software design goals becomes increasingly important. We propose the use of video techniques, video-based requirements engineering (VBRE), to support the communication between all stakeholders. The key ingredients of VBRE are user-centric videos and an exploratory environment for creating multi-path scenarios. In this workshop session, the participants will get hands-on experience with VBRE techniques and tools while working on a fictitious airport baggage handling system.
Risk Management in Project of Information Systems Integration During Merger of Companies
Authors: E. Abakumov; D. M. Agulova; A. Volgin
Year: 2015

As of today, reorganization of companies is one of the challenges that require close attention of administrators. Integration of businesses cannot be accomplished without integration of information systems. Project management is a tool needed to implement such integration efforts. Risk management is one of the components of project management. A risk event occurs at a random nature, so estimating the probability of change in potential timeframe of project completion taking into account the estimated probability of various risk events is an important task. This paper gives an overview of the standard list of risks for integration of information systems of merged companies. Note that this list of risks has been developed for the Russian research-and-production instrument-making enterprises under government ownership and can be viewed as an example of implementing risk-oriented approach to information management. Besides, the list can be used to assess integration risks and elaborate ways to eliminate (minimize) losses related to implementation of these risks.
Using the COSMIC method to estimate Agile user stories
Authors: J. Desharnais; L. Buglione; Bugra Kocatürk
Year: 2011

Agile Project Management (APM) is widely used in different software projects from different application domains. APM includes a series of commonly used project management approaches with the intent to handle better uncertainty and unpredictability, which is not always successful. For instance, in a large portion of software projects, accurate planning (and estimating) of whole project lifetime with Agile is difficult. Since a continuously change in (product) requirements occurs as well their incompleteness at the project initialization phase, project plan must be under control and continuously be revised according to its needs and resources. In Agile projects, planning is mainly based on guess estimate of the effort trying to balance the product and the resources not showing the part of each one. In order to improve the guess estimate, this paper proposes an approach moving from the COCOMO (Constructive Cost Model) worked, using the COSMIC measurement method at the micro-level (User Stories) jointly with the quality of the documentation for deploying the functional analysis. The proposed procedure shows that this approach can help the planner to know better why the global effort changes by the time.
La gestión de proyectos en tecnología de información y comercio electrónico para el logro de los objetivos estratégicos organizacionales
Authors: Carimel Ramírez; R. Casal
Year: 2023

Las distintas metodologías de administración aseguran alta efectividad para el logro de los objetivos estratégicos. Las cuatro (4) disciplinas de la ejecución (Covey, McChesney, y Miralles, 2017) advierten que para alcanzar de forma global los objetivos más importantes de una organización, el rol del mánager en los procesos de ejecución es clave; sin embargo, a la hora de establecer los objetivos generalmente gestionan demasiados a la vez, por lo que tienden a ser muy buenos definiendo estrategias, pero débiles en ejecución. Según Martínez-León, I., y Briones, A.J. (2004), las empresas emplean sistemas de información, comercio electrónico y la tecnología de comunicación colaborativa para obtener ventajas estratégicas al plantearse la cooperación empresarial. En este artículo se analizan las principales teorías de administración de proyectos logrando profundizar e identificar buenas prácticas en instituciones líderes, para la gestión de proyectos TICs y el comercio electrónico como factor clave que impacta en el logro de los objetivos estratégicos organizacionales. Se presentan los resultados de la aplicación de las metodologías del Modelo de Madurez de Integración (CMMI), Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) y ProMMM, en el Servicio Nacional de Salud (SNS) de República Dominicana, como ente responsable de proveer servicios públicos a través de nueve (9) regionales, que regulan ciento ochenta y seis (186) centros de salud pública a nivel nacional. En la presentación de los resultados, se proporciona un marco de referencia de buenas prácticas en gestión de proyectos TICs y comercio electrónico, para ayudar potenciar el crecimiento organizacional.
