Authors: Erina Guraziu
Year: 2023

The objective of the research was to analyse the use of project management as a sustainable pedagogical device capable of fostering in tertiary education students the development of those transversal skills that enhance their sustainable employability. The qualitative research design was the emergent grounded theory, applied through a case study methodology (first exploratory and then explanatory). The “Seven-factor model of project management as a sustainable pedagogical device” for the development of transversal skills in tertiary education was the main result presented. It is composed of the factors that can be transposed from practice into the context of tertiary education and contains a description of the method for this translation. Moreover, the “holistic project management integration approach in tertiary education” was presented, and it was explained why it is an effective top-down transformation process for integrating project management in every program or academic level. Learning project management proves effective in enhancing students’ employability by fostering a process of critical reflection that enables them to develop a sustainable career aligned with their expectations and personal growth as individuals, professionals, and sustainable citizens.
IT Consulting: Communication Skills Are Key
Authors: G. R. Djavanshir; W. Agresti
Year: 2007

IT consultants are professionals who have joined an existing consultancy or have established a consulting business as a single individual or with colleagues. Regardless of their origin, IT consultants perform a variety of tasks, from idea generation to design to project management support. Chief among the success factors in IT consulting is effective communication - an idea that seems to have eluded most of the research purporting to help IT consultants. IT consultants must be proactive in opening communication lines with customers. Ensuring that expectations are clear is a major benefit of effective communication because it helps minimize the damage from an outcome in which the customer is unhappy

Authors: A. A. Amegboleza; A. Acakpovi; M. Ülkü
Year: 2024

This study explores the complex decision‐making (DM) dynamics between clients and consultants, a crucial area often neglected in existing research. Utilizing a Multi‐Perspective Approach combined with Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis, we examine DM challenges such as cost overruns, project delays, and compromised work quality stemming from ineffective DM practices. Key findings highlight the pervasive fear of financial repercussions from poor decisions, which impedes decisive and transparent DM. We offer practical recommendations for managers, propose strategies to strengthen DM processes, enhance project execution frameworks and insights to improve operational efficiency and competitive advantages for Ghanaian mining construction sector stakeholders. This study significantly contributes to the literature on project management by offering targeted solutions and advancing knowledge on DM practices.

Year: 2017

Major cloud service providers have started employing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to implement high-performance and low-power-consumption cloud capability. However, building or utilizing an FPGA-enabled cloud is still challenging due to the lack of fundamental tools. In our previous work, we proposed an hCODE base system for managing portable accelerator IPs on different hardware. In this paper, we extend the previous work and introduce the hCODE 2.0, which is an open-source toolkit for building efficient FPGA-enabled clouds. First, we provide a fundamental toolkit to simplify HW project management and FPGA management at a cluster scale. Second, we implement on-chip resource virtualization and accelerator scheduling capabilities to show possibilities of improving FPGA utilization efficiency with our tools.

Authors: I. W. K. W. Putra; I. G. A. A. Putera; I. P. G. Suryantara P
Year: 2024

In the Community-Based Infrastructure Program (IBM) organized by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR), there are several programs such as SANIMAS, Sanitation LPK, TPS 3R, and the PAMSIMAS Program, which are distributed across various villages and neighborhoods in Bali with a substantial budget. Consequently, this demands that the Commitment Officer (PPK) and their team effectively monitor and evaluate the programs. Time and personnel constraints and the community’s limited understanding of construction processes and aid management pose significant challenges. In this research, website-based software will be developed that has good functionality and quality, so that it can provide information quickly and accurately to PPK and relevant stakeholders involved in the project. The development of an integrated project monitoring, evaluation, and reporting information system (SIMEPP) for the IBM program was designed and built using the waterfall model development method, on the client side (frontend) built using HTML, CSS, and Javascript, while on the server side (backend) built using the Laravel framework with the PHP programming language, data storage using a relational database management system (RDBMS) namely MySQL database and on the web server side using apache to serve the Laravel application. Testing results indicate that this system meets all established criteria and is reliable for effectively and efficiently supporting project monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. The functionality testing yielded a score of 1 (good), reliability testing achieved a success rate of 99.99%, and portability testing demonstrated that the SIMEPP website functions consistently across various major browsers.

Authors: E. V. Soroka
Year: 2023

The results of the analysis of scientific publications and practical experience in the issues of the efficiency of the functioning of housing and communal services enterprises allow us to assert that today it is necessary to bring housing and communal services enterprises out of the crisis and reduce the cost of services provided by introducing the basic pro-visions of saving fuel and energy resources. The enterprise will work successfully only after the following: determining the main goals of the organization, compiling and implementing an organization management system based on the relevant regulatory and technical documentation, setting and implementing planning, recruiting and coordinating personnel, mon-itoring and controlling all business processes. The article describes the stages of production management at a housing and communal services enterprise. Controlling playsa particularly important role in the management process. The pre-paratory and production stages of the management process at the enterprise are shown. Examples of operational control of the work performed and automated systems with which the entire management process can be conducted are given. Using the IDEF0 methodology, it has been possible to model the business processes of the housing management of the city of Donetsk, presenting the "black box" model as a system in which only input and output values are visible. Based on the analysis of work, and in the course of the development of the housing and communal services enterprise, there is a constant need to adjust business processes. Rational optimization ideas can be offered by the executors of operations. Thanks to the use of a BPM system, any business process remains flexible to changes. The enterprise can adjust the order of work and create new processes at any time.

Year: 2023

Background: Agile methods and practices have been consistently adopted in recent years as alternatives to traditional software development processes to address the ever-changing needs of IT organizations. In a previous systematic mapping study, we identified twelve critical success factors of agile transformations from a project management perspective. Objective: In this paper, we investigate how practitioners perceive the relevance of these factors and whether other factors should be considered. Method: We conducted a survey research involving project managers from several organizations undergoing agile transformations. Results: The participants’ perceptions provided valuable insights into the relevance of the critical success factors. Additionally, we identified five new critical success factors: organizational ambidexterity, use of tools and automation, breaking down organizational silos, team commitment, and alignment of organizational goals and expectations. These newly identified factors contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of organizations’ challenges during an agile transformation. Based on the results and the literature, we formulated three propositions representing recommendations that can foster agile transformation. Conclusions: The evidence gathered in this study indicates that the factors investigated previously are highly relevant. Moreover, organizations should consider them to enhance the chances of success of agile transformation initiatives.
Research on Multiple Optimization of Engineering Management Models under the Concept of Environmental Protection
Authors: Junhong Lin
Year: 2024

Abstract With the continuous development of social economy, engineering management technology is becoming increasingly mature, and multi-objective optimization technology is widely used in engineering management. Based on the traditional schedule, cost and quality model, the article introduces the environmental factor as the fourth optimization objective and constructs a comprehensive four-objective optimization model. The model starts from the concept of environmental protection, and proposes the modeling method of ecological indicators for deterministic and non-deterministic conditions. The article utilizes the multi-objective comprehensive optimization model to conduct an in-depth analysis of the engineering management condition of S project. After the engineering management optimization implementation, the optimization scheme showed that the planned duration was shortened to 324 days, which saved 12.9% of the construction time compared to the initial scheme and 1.81 million RMB in cost. In addition, the project achieved an average value of 0.9167 for quality reliability and a reduction in environmental impact to 296.48, which met the expected criteria in the S-engineering contract. The research in this paper not only provides a new type of multi-objective optimization method integrating the concept of environmental protection for project management, but also proves the effectiveness and practicability of this method in actual projects through example analysis.
Effective Information Flow In Project Management: Lessons From An Information Technology Project
Authors: Azeez Olatubosun Shodeinde
Year: 2024

Network analysis of scheduled activities is a widely-applied project management tool which promotes timely and efficient project delivery. However, lack of coherent network of information flow during the project implementation can render the project objectives and targets unrealisable. In this study, the researcher analysed lessons on information management from a plant installation process in an information technology (IT) company within the Manchester neighbourhood. The lessons were relatable because the researcher was a member of the team who managed the plant installation. In particular, an electronic information model (under the auspices of Excel software) was designed and implemented in collaboration with the project team. This immediately kept the team well informed of the project progress, corrected slowdowns in activity execution and facilitated timely completion of the plant assembly. The multiple-machine plant was successfully prepared for production operation within the specified timeline. This study therefore argues that project managers may take lessons from this experience in creating a network of information flow such that the project team implements their assigned activities with full information knowledge of what comes before and after each activity.
A proposed conceptual model for linking Lean thinking and project management in the IT sector
Authors: Inês Rodriguês; Wellington Alves
Year: 2025



Recognizing this gap in the literature, previous research has developed a conceptual model that aligns Lean thinking (LT) tools and principles with project management (PM) domains to increase project efficiency through waste elimination. This paper aims to explore the application of LT in PM to minimize waste, focus on value delivery and subsequently enhance the efficiency of projects.



This research uses qualitative analysis to validate the previously developed conceptual model by conducting structured interviews with project managers and practitioners in the information technology (IT) sector to examine waste sources, assess their impact on project efficiency and investigate the model’s applicability as a strategy to enhance efficiency in IT projects.



From the research conducted, the results from the literature put in evidence that while the construction and production sectors have seen extensive research on the link between LT and PM, the combined and complementary application of these concepts to IT PM remains understudied. The research findings reveal the agreement among all respondents that LT can be successfully adapted to PM practices, leading to a positive correlation between this adaptation and waste reduction, consequently enhancing project efficiency. Moreover, respondents concur that the developed conceptual model can be customized to suit various IT projects, facilitating the seamless integration between LT and PM.



The innovative conceptual model harmonizes LT with IT project management, offering a practical and forward-looking approach to amplify efficiency in projects.

As a result of the current economic crisis, which led to metal prices fall, mining company managers have been encouraged to cut costs. Thus, improvement projects to reduce cost has become major interest in the Mongolian mining industry. Mining projects are subject to high risk because of their size, uncertainty, complexity and high cost. This paper focuses on the development of a simulation method which provides an engineering tool for managing risks associated with the development of open mining improvement projects. The study will demonstrate the advantages of using simulation analysis for mining project management and how it reduces associated risks. The research was based on a case study of an optimization project of a mining plant based in Mongolia.
Multitasking and Innovation in Virtual Teams
Authors: Karen Sobel Lojeski; R. Reilly; P. Dominick
Year: 2007

The limits of human multitasking capabilities in intense conditions are well understood. However, little is known about how increasing and continuous multitasking impacts innovation in virtual teams. During this investigation, we developed a construct called virtual distance to understand how both perceived and physical distance impacts innovation on virtual teams and applied it to 223 individuals and mangers at seventeen organizations. We then explored virtual distance as a moderator of the relationship between multitasking and innovation. Our results showed that virtual distance has a significant and negative relationship to innovation. We farther found that virtual distance significantly moderated the relationship between multitasking and innovation. When virtual distance is low, there is a positive relationship and when virtual distance is high, there is a significant curvilinear relationship. The results have implications for the selection of virtual team members and virtual project management activities when critical project outcomes include innovation
Teaching teamwork in engineering and computer science
Authors: R. Lingard; Shan Barkataki
Year: 2011

Teamwork is recognized as an important skill for engineering and computer science professionals. Both potential employers and accrediting agencies, such as ABET, expect students to gain proficiency in teamwork skills through experiential learning. Teamwork based projects challenge the student to apply the technical knowledge they gain in school to solve meaningful and complex problems. However, to be truly proficient in teamwork, a student must also learn and practice a large number of peripheral skills. These include planning, estimating, tracking progress, taking corrective actions, managing change, controlling and managing risks, maintaining ethical and professional conduct, communicating complex ideas clearly and concisely, using design automation tools, leveraging web-based tools for team collaboration, and most importantly participating effectively as team members. It is essential that students should be taught these important skills. It is unlikely that without adequate faculty guidance students can pick up these skills through ad-hoc project experience. Yet, many engineering and computer science programs expect the students to do just that. We feel strongly that we need to employ a more pragmatic approach in teaching students the skills necessary to function as effective and productive team members. Additionally, we need to develop criteria for assessing the effectiveness of teaching teamwork and the tools to measure learning outcomes. Among the problems contributing to this situation are the following: engineering and computer science instructors themselves often have had little or no experience operating in teams; training or guidance in effective ways to teach teamwork is seldom provided; and tools and effective approaches to assist in the teaching and assessment of teamwork are lacking. Another problem is that, it takes a great deal of faculty time, effort and energy to guide groups of students in doing effective teamwork. We will describe an approach that we have used to teach team collaboration skills using free and freely available web-based tools. Students learn to use tools for design automation, metrics collection, project management, and web-based collaboration. Our approach encourages students to learn teamwork skills and improves levels of collaboration among team members while reducing demands on faculty time and effort. Use of web-based collaboration tools allows students to participate without the need for frequent face-to-face meetings; this our students love. In an effort to maximize the use of techniques like the ones described in this paper, we hold regular informal sessions of interested faculty to share ideas on improving teaching teamwork and to develop methods and tools for assessment. The paper and the conference presentation will describe both our approach and the results we have obtained.
