Measuring COSMIC Software Size from Functional Execution Traces of Java Business Applications
Authors: Muhammet Ali Sag; Ayça Tarhan
Year: 2014

Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods aim to measure the size of software by quantifying its functional user requirements. Although FSM is greatly beneficial in software project management, due to involving judgment on the part of the measurer, differences for the same application may occur. In addition, when an organization wants to build its own historical repository, FSM of the previously developed software might be costly. In this paper, therefore, we examine the possibility of measuring the functional size from source or binary code automatically. Our method utilizes UML Sequence Diagrams derived from functional execution traces of the software at runtime, by which we apply COSMIC FSM rules to measure size. We have aimed to develop a tool called 'Cosmic Solver' to support our method and used its initial prototype for functional size measurement of a sample, three-tier Java business application. This paper explains the basics of the method and the prototype, and the results from its application on the sample. It has been found that the size extracted by the prototype convergent to the one obtained by manual calculation.

Year: 2017

VFX production companies are currently challenged by the increasing complexity of visual effects shots combined with constant schedule demands. The ability to execute in an efficient and cost-effective manner requires extensive coordination between different sites, different departments, and different artists. This coordination demands data-intensive analysis of VFX workflows beyond standard project management practices and existing tools. In this paper, we propose a novel solution centered around a general evaluation data model and APIs that convert production data (job/scene/shot/schedule/task) to business intelligence insights enabling performance analytics and generation of data summarization for process controlling. These analytics provide an impact measuring framework for analyzing performance over time, with the introduction of new production technologies, and across separate jobs. Finally, we show how the historical production data can be used to create predictive analytics for the accurate forecasting of future VFX production process performance.
RESEARCH ON THE FORMATION MECHANISM OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNERS’ CREATIVE DEVIANCE - BASED ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR THEORY
Authors: Dekun Zhu; Ren Xu
Year: 2024

With the improvement of architectural design project management and the standardization of the design process, enterprises have encountered some obstacles on the road to innovation. Among them, the deviant innovation behavior, as an obscure independent innovation behavior, has gradually attracted the attention of scholars. The characteristic of deviant innovation behavior is that, in order to achieve the purpose of innovation, innovators will use various resources to support their innovative ideas. Among them, deviant innovation behavior not only promotes innovation but also brings management and risk challenges to enterprises. Therefore, only by clarifying the causes and conditions of the deviant innovation behavior can we truly manage the deviant innovation and do a good job in the innovation management of enterprises on the basis of reducing operational risks. 
Based on the current situation of high education levels and low innovation success rates among architectural designers, this study discusses the environmental factors contributing to deviant innovation behavior and explains its formation mechanism. In general, the contributions of this paper to existing research are as follows: 1) On the basis of the existing literature, this study reviews the relevant concepts and measurement methods of deviant innovation behavior and the influencing factors are discussed. 2) Based on the theory of planning behavior theory, the deviant innovative behavior model is constructed, which reveals the role of behavior attitude, subjective norms, and perceptual behavior control in affecting employee deviant innovative behavior. 3) Previous studies have directly applied the theory of planned behavior to the interpretation and prediction of behavior. This study complements and extends the boundary conditions, puts forward the view that task complexity will regulate the relationship between deviant innovation willingness and deviant innovation behavior, and has verified it.

Project Management Decisions with Uncertain Targets
Authors: J. Keisler; Robert F. Bordley
Year: 2015

Project management decision rules presume that fixed and inflexible targets have been defined for the project. If a project’s slack is defined as the difference between actual project performance and these targets, then these decision rules can be characterized as maximizing the probability that slack is nonnegative (i.e., maximizing the probability of meeting the targets). These rules rely on z -scores to compare uncertain performance to target levels. Following these decision rules will not always suffice for the project manager to act consistently with customer preferences. In particular, actual requirements may be uncertain or subject to change, and customers may have some flexibility. A decision-analytic approach accounting for these factors can allow the project manager to maximize the customer’s expected utility. We redefine project slack to reflect the difference between performance and a random target that reflects both the customer’s risk tolerance and uncertainty about the actual requirement. The z -score associated with this slack is shown to be proportional to the certainty equivalent for a project. Thus utility-maximizing decision rules in the language of decision analysis can be readily translated into z -score-maximizing decision rules in the language of project management. From this, we discuss how related decision-analytic concepts such as value of information might be applied to families of problems in project management.

Human beings have always come up with creative and innovative ways of progressing because it helps them enhance their quality of life. Innovations such as the three-dimensional printing technology help society to realize numerous benefits because they can be employed in many different ways. Project managers are tasked with the responsibility of planning, organizing, and directing how tasks will be completed to facilitate the realization of an overall goal. Thus, the effectiveness of the strategies employed by the project managers profoundly influences organizational performance. As a result, project managers must devise strategies that will facilitate their organizations to operate as efficiently as possible. Project managers throughout the world have been encouraging organizations to embrace three-dimensional printing technology. The course of action is informed by the fact that three-dimensional printing technology can facilitate manufacturers to reduce production costs and enhance their adaptability. The contemporary world of commerce is characterized by comparatively high levels of competition. In effect, it has become necessary for commercial entities to come up with mechanisms that boost their effectiveness in adapting to the ever-changing tastes and preferences of their customers. Similarly, project managers need to help their organizations to respond effectively to digital disruptions and digital transformations because failure to do so can adversely affect their future prospects. Project managers need to conduct extensive research as they help their companies to adapt to the various changes that are taking place in the industry, as demonstrated in this study. The research will help them learn about the multiple options at their disposal. Accordingly, they are highly likely to make the most suitable course of action when executing this their duties. The examination of the impact of three-dimensional Printing on project management confirms that the proper application of the technology can boost the effectiveness of project managers and improve organizational performance.

Project leader's interactive use of controls, team learning behaviour and IT project performance: the moderating role of process accountability
Authors: F. Mir; Davar Rezania
Year: 2023

PurposeThis study aims to understand how project leaders' interactive use of the project management control systems (MCS) impact IT project performance, by examining the mechanisms through which this relationship is enacted.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 109 IT project managers working in Canadian and USA-based organizations. A moderated mediation model was analysed by hierarchical component reflective-formative measurement modelling using PLS-SEM.FindingsResults suggest that the leader's interactive use of project MCS is associated with IT project performance, and this relationship is partially mediated by team learning behaviour. In addition, the relationship between the interactive use of project MCS and team learning behaviour is moderated by the organization's emphasis on process accountability, with the effect being stronger under the conditions of higher emphasis on process accountability.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on the use of controls in the IT project-based business environments by explaining how the project leader's style of use of controls influences project team learning behaviour that in turn impacts project performance. Additionally, this study extends the project governance and accountability literature by identifying and empirically examining how the perceptions of project leader's institutionalized organizational accountability arrangements moderate the impact of the interactive use of control systems on team learning behaviour. A methodological contribution of the study is the scale development to measure leader's perceptions about the organization's emphasis on process accountability.

The Complexity Paradox: An Analysis of Modeling Education Through the Lens of Complexity Science
Authors: D. Strüber
Year: 2023

Modeling seeks to tame complexity during software development, by supporting design, analysis, and stakeholder communication. Paradoxically, experiences made by educators indicate that students often perceive modeling as adding complexity, instead of reducing it. In this position paper, I analyse modeling education from the lens of complexity science, a theoretical framework for the study of complex systems. I revisit pedagogical literature where complexity science has been used as a framework for general education and subject-specific education in disciplines such as medicine, project management, and sustainability. I revisit complexity-related challenges from modeling education literature, discuss them in the light of complexity and present recommendations for taming complexity when teaching modeling.

Organizations are increasingly investing in Distributed Software Development (DSD) over the years. A typical decision-making problem in the distributed scenario consists of deciding which team should be allocated each task. That decision takes into account a relative degree of subjectivity. That setting is suitable for applying Verbal Decision Analysis (VDA). This paper introduces an approach to support the allocation of tasks to distributed units in DSD projects, structured on the hybridisation of methods of Verbal Decision Analysis for classification and rank ordering applied to influencing factors and executing units. Firstly, a review of the literature was conducted aiming to identify the approaches to support the allocation of tasks in DSD contexts. Then, an approach was developed by applying VDA-based methods for classification and ordering. Bibliographic research and the application of surveys with professionals allowed identifying and characterising the main elements that influence task assignment in DSD projects. Afterwards, experiences were carried out in five real-world companies. In the end, the proposed approach has been submitted to the evaluation by the professionals of the participating companies and by some project management experts. The proposed approach comprises a workflow containing responsible actors and descriptions of the activities. Automated tools are also employed in automating the implementation of the approach. After applying the approach in five companies, task assignment recommendations are presented in groups for each company, according to the task type, i.e., requirements, architecture, coding, and testing, ranging from the most to the least preferable office. Results of the experiences and evaluations held during this work present evidence that the proposed approach is flexible, adaptable, and easy to understand and to use. Moreover, it helps to reduce decision subjectivity and to think of new aspects, supporting the task allocation process in DSD.
Optimization of a Cooperative Programming Learning System by Using a Constructivist Approach
Authors: Iwen Huang; Gwo-jen Hwang; I. Yang
Year: 2010

This work describes a cooperative programming learning system (CPLS) based on a novel constructivist approach. This system embeds various constructivist elements within functions to support each phase of the information process that allows students to construct programming skills through knowledge, tasks, and assessment domains. The CPLS comprises a discussion forum, programming editing forum, design forum with structure charts, project management, project guidance, performance demonstration, and peer assessment models. Effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated based on an experiment involving 54 undergraduate students in a private university in Taiwan. Learning effectiveness is analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Analytical results indicate that students using this CPLS more frequently could learn programming skills more easily. Efforts are underway to incorporate more pedagogical models in the proposed system, as well as improve the system interface and functions.
Unpacking the theory on ambidexterity: An illustrative case on the managerial architectures, mechanisms and dynamics
Authors: N. Turner; L. Lee-Kelley
Year: 2013

Research on ambidexterity has been focused primarily at the organisational level. There is little in the literature detailing ambidexterity in more complex forms of organising. While much is written on the ‘what’ of ambidexterity – its enactment has been shown to be beneficial – there is a gap in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms, architectures and dynamics by which organisations can achieve both exploration and exploitation. In this article, we use the lens of intellectual capital to extend current architectural theory. A case study of a project management office in an IT/IS multinational provides the context in which to qualitatively unpack the underpinning intellectual capital architecture, illustrating the interwoven application of human, social and organisational capital in a complicated organisational setting. We reveal the co-existence and mutual interdependence of multiple intellectual capital and process elements, further explaining the ‘how’ of this increasingly important area of study.
