Authors: S. Gunawardena; D. Hemachandra; K.A.S.S. Kodithuwakkku
Year: 2022

The problem of delays in the construction industry is a global phenomenon, and Sri Lanka is no exception. The key objectives of this study are to identify and rank the factors that cause project delays in government construction projects and their effects as perceived by the three primary industry participants, namely the clients, consultants and contractors and assess the differences. A questionnaire survey was conducted to solicit the perceived causes and effects of project delays from clients, consultants and contractors responsible for government building construction projects in the Central province of Sri Lanka. Perceived delay factors of the said primary stakeholders were measured using a five-point Likert scale type statements. The causes and effects were ranked according to their Relative Importance Index (the product of Severity Index and Frequency Index). The Spearman Correlation method and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to test the difference in the perception among the three primary stakeholders. Data were collected from 32 consultants, 49 contractors and 16 clients. This study identified improper project management by the contractor as the leading cause of project delay. The other main causes in the ranked order are shortage of labour, financial problems of the clients, improper day work planning by contractor, delay in payment process, scope changes, delays in drawings submission, delays in approvals, financial difficulties of the contractor and lack of communication. The highest level of agreement on causes of project delays was observed between clients and contractors whereas the lowest level of agreement was observed between clients and consultants. The main perceived effects of project delays are cost overrun, poor quality of the work, disputes, arbitration, litigation and total abandonment. In relation to the effects of project delays, a high level of agreement was observed among clients, consultants and contractors. Each party had a positive correlation for both causes and effects of project delays with the other two parties, while contractors and clients showed the highest agreement on delays causes. There was a very high correlation for ranked effects between any two parties.

Authors: Liliana; Daniel Soesanto; Bambang Prijambodo; Jasti Ohanna
Year: 2024

Companies increasingly adopt software as a Service (SaaS) as a project management tool. SaaS offers greater flexibility, availability, and accessibility than traditional information system software. In this study, SaaS is used as the basis for creating project management applications, including recording work plans, the progress of each user's performance, and meeting documentation. The stages of the literature study are carried out by looking at journals and books. The trial was carried out using black-box testing. Verification trials are carried out by involving a team of programmers to see the flow of the system algorithm. Validation trials are carried out by asking various users involved in project implementation to try the system and asking users to fill out questionnaires related to the ease of use of project management features. The two stages of the trial showed good results, as evidenced by 77.8% of users stating that the SaaS concept really helped them with the flexibility of system installation with a short waiting time. Meanwhile, 76.16% of users stated that the features provided and their configuration could help them in project management. The research results show that SaaS has great potential to help companies to manage projects effectively. In future research, various factors in different project management can be explored deeper, so that SaaS becomes more configurable and used by a wider variety of users.

Authors: Janet Ombwayo; H. Kidombo; C. Gakuu
Year: 2024

The alarming rate of urban sprawl poses a social menace for city planners and governments worldwide and Nairobi city of Kenya is not an exception. Challenges of access to appropriate and affordable housing has forced majority of city residents to occupy shanties with deplorable living conditions thus, the need to improve the infrastructure in the slums. In Kenya, the government has initiated various projects in a bid to carry out a facelift of slums countrywide. Although, involvement of key stakeholders in each of the phases of project management lifecycle (PMLC) that is, project initiation, planning, implementation, Monitoring & evaluation and closure remains a critical factor to the realization of slum upgrading infrastructure development, the affected communities are not fully engaged thus thwarting effective implementation of the planned activities. In this regard, the aim of the study was to examine the influence of PMLC on performance of slums upgrading projects (PSUP). A descriptive survey research design and a correlational research design were utilized whereby data was analysed and interpreted using means, standard deviations, correlation of coefficient and correlation of determination. A sample of 266 was drawn from a target population of 794, of which 208 responded to a 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire. Qualitative data collected was presented in narrative form. Results obtained indicated a linearly positive and a very strong significant relationship between PMLC and PSUP. When all phases were combined PMLC explained 62.9% of the overall variation in PSUP. The findings indicate that a unit increase in initiation and planning stages result to an increase in PSUP by 7.77% and 1.97% respectively whereas for a unit decrease in project implementation and project M&E, PSUP decreases by 2.07% and 1.72% respectively. It was thus concluded that PMLC significantly influences Performance of Slum Upgrading Projects. The recommendation of the study was that activities pertaining to project planning, M&E and project closure phases be efficiently executed for optimum performance of the projects.

Year: 2023

The article discusses the spatial development of non-urban areas based on the use of local peat resources. Creating a methodology for the advanced spatial development of non-urban areas has peat resources based on multicriteria optimisation of production and social infrastructures. The industrial and social infrastructure of the non-urban areas having reserves of peat, associated mineral, and industrial raw materials. Regularities, trends, and features of formation and functioning of the productive and social infrastructure of the natural and man-made complex in the development of peat reserves, associated mineral, and industrial raw materials. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to conduct interdisciplinary research and solve the following specific objectives: (1) the scientific justification of new technological processes and equipment for peat and mineral raw materials processing for obtaining new composite materials for multiple purposes; (2) the feature analysis of the use of local peat resources to provide the development of non-urban areas based on a set of scientific approaches; (3) the development of the methodology for project management of the natural and man-made complex to ensure multi-criteria optimisation of productive and social infrastructure. The example of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra development selected results of confronting the existing “big grand” and national challenges through the mechanisms of rational use of local peat resources non-urban areas are illustrated. The results indicated that by 2030 there would be a 3.8-fold increase in mineral extraction and a 5.9-fold increase in processing industries.
Development and assessment of criteria to select projects for funding in the EU health programme.
Authors: S. van den Broucke; Guy Dargent; M. Pletschette
Year: 2012

BACKGROUND
Projects are the main financing mechanism within the EU community action programme for public health. This article reports the process of establishing and validating evaluation criteria for projects submitted for funding within this programme, to ensure that projects selected for funding conform with quality standards.


METHODS
An evaluation checklist was developed, drawing on project management and health promotion literature, to Score 3 aspects of project quality: policy and contextual relevance (five criteria, scores 0-8), technical quality (five criteria, scored 0-6) and management quality (six criteria, scored 0-5). Teams of three people made consensus ratings with the checklist on each of 215 eligible applications submitted in response to Calls for Proposals in 2007 and 151 submitted in 2008. Construct validity, internal consistency and predictive validity were assessed on the grouped consensus ratings using psychometric test statistical methods.


RESULTS
Principal component analyses on both the 2007 and 2008 data gave a three component solution, which largely coincides with the dimensions of contextual relevance, technical quality and management quality. Reliability analyses show high Cronbach α's (>0.86) for each of the three scales. Discriminant analyses indicate that all three of the dimensions contributed to the decision to fund a project. Over the 2 years, innovation, content specification, EU added value and geographical coverage contributing most consistently to the success of an application.


CONCLUSION
The study shows the successful development and validation of criteria to evaluate EU health project grant proposals.
Illuminating power dynamics that influenced a relational coordination program in a tertiary hospital: An institutional ethnography study.
Authors: Darren McLean; Martin Connor; Andrea P. Marshall; Anne McMurray; Liz Jones
Year: 2025

BACKGROUND
Amidst the difficulty and contentiousness of improving hospitals, a relatively new approach is the Relational Model of Organizational Change (RMOC). However, this approach has its own challenges, including reports that its focus on communication and relationships is undervalued despite evidence supporting its use to facilitate practice improvements in hospitals. Research suggests power dynamics in hospitals influences how the RMOC is used, but the precise mechanisms through which this occurs have not been fully examined.


PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine how power dynamics shaped the implementation of a program using the RMOC in a hospital: the QPH RC Program.


METHODOLOGY
Institutional ethnography was applied to explicate textually mediated ruling relations (power dynamics) and examine how they exerted their influence on the QPH RC Program. This involved interviewing people and analyzing texts embedded in work processes that organized the implementation of the program.


RESULTS
The QPH RC Program was embedded in a cluster of ruling relations comprising an economic rationalist and scientific discourse and project management methodology. These ruling relations exerted their power via textually mediated social processes that influenced the focus and management of the program.


CONCLUSION
The ruling relations functioned to align the QPH RC Program with the priorities of the hospital, suggesting that financial objectives were prioritized over objectives to improve communication or culture.


PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
Future research and practice change should include investigating and addressing the intersection of institutional contexts and the application of the RMOC to facilitate practice improvements in health care organizations, particularly hospitals.
Explorando o papel do BIM na gestão do conhecimento em projetos da construção civil

Year: 2024

The non-serialized nature of the construction industry, the dynamic environment of construction sites, and the high turnover of workers are conditions that hinder the application of knowledge management (KM) in the sector. Given this, several studies highlight the use of BIM as a platform capable of optimizing KM. The main objective of this study was to investigate the potential of BIM for KM in construction. To this end, a systematic literature review was conducted, revealing a variety of practical applications of BIM in KM in areas such as occupational safety, project management, and sustainability in facilities management. However, studies are still in the early stages, with limited activities and risks included in the analyses. Moreover, ontology is widely used to structure knowledge in conjunction with a BIM model, followed by case-based reasoning (CBR). Although BIM can optimize KM, its application needs to be scaled up. Future studies should explore the use of machine learning to accelerate the knowledge modeling process.

Authors: J. Peixoto; Anabela Tereso; Aldora Gabriela Gomes Fernandes; Rui Almeida
Year: 2016

This paper resulted from an action-research undertaken on a Portuguese electric energy organization-EDP Distribution. The research aimed to develop, propose and implement a risk management methodology to integrate in the project management PM practices of an ongoing project. The methodology implemented allowed the project team to initiate systematized risk management practices through a simple structure, easy to apply, and with a degree of complexity compatible with the effort that the PM team could initially engage. It is expected that the proposed methodology signaled the initiation of the project risk management PRM process standardization in the EDP Distribution organization.
Budget performance and governance in infrastructure project management: the case of Brazilian inland waterway transport
Authors: Bruna Renata Cavalcante DE Barros; Eliezé Bulhões DE Carvalho; Antonio Cesar Pinho BRASIL JUNIOR
Year: 2023

Abstract Project management increasingly focuses on delivering benefits, considering institutional complexity and global challenges. Inland waterway transport (IWT) projects appear in the Brazilian Nationally Determined Contribution following the Paris Agreement. However, Brazilian IWT projects remain underdeveloped, and waterway freight transport capacity is underutilized. There is a literature gap on the links between budget performance, policy, politics, and project management. In particular, we know little about the effects of the interactions between governance mechanisms and public budget execution on the procurement of waterway transport infrastructure projects in Brazil. This paper aims to assess Brazilian waterway infrastructure budgetary execution and governance arrangements to determine the influence of these factors on policy failures. We performed a qualitative analysis of policy plans and investments made between 2014 and 2020 through interviews and documental research to examine 109 waterway infrastructure projects. All respondents pointed out the lack of planning as an obstacle to waterway projects, and 74% reported budget shortness. Nevertheless, we found USD 43.2 million available in budgets that were never utilized. The inability to invest is a bigger obstacle for Brazilian waterway projects than budget insufficiency. We recommend an adaptive management approach to allocate investments, in which stakeholders learn together to implement more effective project strategies.

Authors: Betty C. Chepkorir; Paul Kariuki
Year: 2018

The purpose of the study was to examine the challenges of strategy implementation in CDF projects in Nairobi County. A descriptive research design was undertaken to ascertain and be able to describe the characteristics of variables of interest. The target population for this study comprised of CDF committee members, location committee members and project management committee members in Nairobi. A sample population of 193 was arrived at by calculating the target population of 388 with a 95% confidence level and an error of 0.05 using the below formula taken from Kothari (2004). Data was analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS Version 25.0). From the findings, the study revealed that power sharing in projects had a very great effect on strategy implementation and that decision making practices in projects affected strategy implementation to a great extent. As per the findings, the study found that physical resources affected resource allocation to a very great extent. The findings showed that leadership style affected strategy implementation to a very great extent and that knowledge on sharing had a great effect on strategy implementation. Further, the study found that values had a very great effect on strategy implementation and public participation had a moderate effect on strategy implementation. Further, the study concluded that co-ordination affected strategy implementation to a moderate extent. As per the findings, the study concluded that physical resources affected resource allocation greatly. The study deduced that leadership style affected strategy implementation and that knowledge on sharing had a great effect on strategy implementation. The study recommended that the project managers should provide the necessary resources and facilities for project implementation. This would facilitate effective implementation of CDF projects. The study recommended that the County government board should prepare documentations and manuals in guiding on strategy implementation in projects. Rules and regulations should as well be established on the requirements of implementation of projects.

Year: 2011

This study examines how physicians can recognise and utilise project management to improve their role as hospital administrators. Thirty physicians serving as hospital administrators in Thailand were asked to identify the skills necessary to successfully manage projects in the hospital, and problems encountered in their administrative roles in regards to project management. This article illustrates how the practices and tools of project management can be put to use in alleviating the problems identified, and offers potential applications for hospital administration. The implications go beyond physicians serving as hospital administrators and demonstrate value for all administrators striving for improved healthcare operations.
Who has turned the project management lights on? A comparative analysis of transportation and information technology in US state governments
Authors: Andrew J. Grandage; D. Mitchell
Year: 2023

We provide a comparative analysis of capital project management for major transportation and information technology (IT) acquisitions in US state governments, focusing on the use of earned value management (EVM). Results indicate that most states have adopted basic reforms, such as establishing project management offices and developing guidelines based on industry standards. However, fewer have implemented reforms with more teeth to them, such as centralized oversight and EVM. We find that states with greater spending are more likely to use EVM but that it is more commonly prescribed for IT than transportation.

ABSTRACT
A data coordinating center (DCC) is a critical member of any multicenter research undertaking, and that is especially true for the Type 1 Diabetes in Acute Pancreatitis Consortium (T1DAPC). We describe how the T1DAPC DCC supports the consortium via its experience and expertise in project management, administration, financial management, regulatory compliance, scientific coordination, data management, research computing, and biostatistics and in facilitating scientific publications. The DCC's matrix management system has been extremely effective in managing all of its responsibilities. The first 16 months in the life of the T1DAPC have been dedicated to the development of its first protocol, titled Diabetes RElated to Acute pancreatitis and its Mechanisms (DREAM), addressing the institutional review board and regulatory components, developing the T1DAPC data management system, and providing training and certification of clinical center staff. As a result of its efforts, the DCC was a major contributor to the T1DAPC being able to initiate recruitment for the DREAM study in January 2022.

Selecting the best project management method at the workplace helps to deliver a high-quality product to the customer. Hence, the need for good knowledge of management methods, their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, is necessary to be able to select the best for the specific project. However, until now, no large dataset for Machine Learning and decision-making model, model or system has been proposed to help project managers to the most efficient method adapted to the constraints of their projects. This work develops the construction of the dataset for agile and IoT project management method based on the real experiences. In this paper, our objective is to propose a criteria-based model that allows the choice of the best management method to adopt for such an IT or IoT project according to a set of criteria.
