Early and efficient quality assurance of risky technical parameters in a mechatronic design process
Authors: S. Biffl; A. Lüder; Nicole Schmidt; D. Winkler
Year: 2014

Mechatronic design processes in automation systems engineering projects require concurrent engineering of various disciplines operating within technical, commercial, and project management constraints. Unfortunately, early and efficient quality assurance of technical parameters, which affect risk-relevant constraints in the mechatronic design processes, is difficult and error-prone due to the heterogeneous local model representations of shared concepts that the domain experts use to define these constraints. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of the adapted multi-model dashboard (MMD) approach and a traditional approach for monitoring technical parameters and constraints in mechatronic design processes. We evaluate these approaches in the context of a real-world use case, the welding line process for automobile parts. Major results are: the MMD process was at least as effective and efficient in eliciting relevant project constraints and model dependencies as traditional approaches in the evaluation context.

Authors: M. Chipulu; U. Ojiako; A. Thomas
Year: 2024

Project sponsors have sought to develop the necessary competence to address various challenges they face during project development, implementation, and exploitation by employing different initiatives including the engagement and use of external consultants. However, doing so is associated with a number of consequences, including a significant risk of exacerbating project complexities. With this in mind, we set out in this article to examine the salient differences in the key project complexities between projects engaging consultants and those not engaging consultants. Data are obtained from 146 project management practitioners engaged in projects in Canada and the USA. Data analysis is undertaken using three-way multidimensional scaling. Findings as relates to the key complexities associated with information systems projects, points to the manifestation of six broad dimensions of complexity namely 1) “Variety,” 2) “Control,” 3) “Criticality,” 4) “Scope and repetition,” 5) “Information,” and 6) “Dependence.” As relates to how consultant engagement changes the salience of these key project complexities, we find that consultant engagement leads to more varied and stronger structural complexity and higher salience of interpersonal and organizational complexity.
Software Development Effort estimation using Classical and fuzzy Analogy: a Cross-Validation Comparative Study
Authors: Fatima Azzahra Amazal; A. Idri; A. Abran
Year: 2014

Software effort estimation is one of the most important tasks in software project management. Of several techniques suggested for estimating software development effort, the analogy-based reasoning, or Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), approaches stand out as promising techniques. In this paper, the benefits of using linguistic rather than numerical values in the analogy process for software effort estimation are investigated. The performance, in terms of accuracy and tolerance of imprecision, of two analogy-based software effort estimation models (Classical Analogy and Fuzzy Analogy, which use numerical and linguistic values respectively to describe software projects) is compared. Three research questions related to the performance of these two models are discussed and answered. This study uses the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) dataset and confirms the usefulness of using linguistic instead of numerical values in analogy-based software effort estimation models.

Year: 2019

Project management is one of most important parts of every business and it demands to be controlled effectively. Project integration is one of the knowledge area of project management. It is a technique for influencing diverse methodology to coordinate; it takes different strategies that are being used in a task and guarantees that they are sorted out. Much work has been done on optimization of project management processes but not specifically on project management knowledge areas. This paper discusses the core knowledge area of project management i.e. project integration management. A meta-model for project integration management, for converting manual tasks into automated one, is presented in this research. The architectural concepts of proposed meta-model is described using different levels of meta-modeling i.e. M1, M2, M3, M4. The applicability of proposed approach is also validated through a case study.

Authors: E. Wihlborg; J. Engstrom
Year: 2017

Strategies and policies to bridge identified and potential digital divides is a core challenge when forming an inclusive and participatory digital democracy and society. In line with the progress and development of digital technologies and applications governments have to address digital divides. This project discusses how social and digital divides have been addressed in a project called "The Digital media bus in Östergötland". This project builds on the library buses that have has been running in the region for long a long time. The libraries in Sweden also have to address digital inclusion and implement strategies towards increased use of and knowledge about information technologies. This analysis builds on an action research approach. The analyse here are focusing on the implementation, project management and how the project has addressed digital inclusion. Finally, we end up discussing the diversity of digital inclusion, elaborating on the meanings of digital divides and digital diversity.
The essence of integrated management of project and operational risks in the
 organization
Authors: Olexandr Kisilov; Serhii Kachkov
Year: 2023

In the conditions of the formation of market relations and increased competition,
 the activity of any organization requires the development and implementation of
 effective and efficient management tools. Such a tool in the conditions of the modern
 world is the project management methodology, which includes, among other things, tools
 that allow managing the organization's environment. Variability of external and internal
 environments can lead to uncertainty and risks. This work determined that domestic and
 foreign scientists pay a lot of attention to issues of risk-oriented project management
 in organizations. The approaches proposed by them are successfully implemented, but have
 their own characteristics that cannot be universal for other areas. In addition, the
 works of scientists in the field of business process reengineering, which are based on
 the introduction of a risk-oriented approach, as well as integrated anti-risk project
 management, were considered. The specified research results can become the basis for the
 development of an integrated approach to the management of operational and project risks
 of the organization. In this study, the authors identified operational and project
 risks, determined their sets, and built a mathematical representation of the
 organization's operational activities. In addition, the impact of operational risks on
 the project was determined, and a preliminary analysis of project risks was also carried
 out. Based on this, the application of the project management methodology shows its
 expediency and effectiveness from the point of view of risk management of both
 operational and project activities. The authors analyzed modern approaches to risk
 management in various spheres of human activity, as well as approaches to integrated
 management of operational and project risks, with the aim of their further application
 or improvement. Which, in turn, can become the basis for the development of models and
 methods of integrated management of operational and project risks of the organization.
An ICT-mediated Constructivist Approach for Increasing Academic Support and Teaching Critical Thinking Skills
Authors: D. Ng’ambi; K. Johnston
Year: 2006

South African Universities are tasked with increasing student throughput by offering additional academic support. A second task is to teach students to challenge and question. One way of attempting to achieve these tasks is by using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The focus of this paper is to examine the effect of using an ICT tool to both increase academic support to students, and to teach critical thinking skills. A field study comparing a Project Management course at the University of Cape Town over two successive years was conducted. In the second year an ICT mediated constructivist approach (DFAQ web site) in which students acquired project management skills was used to increase support and teach critical thinking skills. Structuration theory, in particular the notion of practical and discursive consciousness, was used to inform our understanding of the role of questioning on teaching project management. The conclusion is that a constructive approach, mediated by an anonymous web-based consultative environment, the Dynamic Frequently Asked Questions (DFAQ) improved support to students and had an effect on student learning of project management and students acquired some questioning skills as evidenced in the examination performance. The efficacy of the approach was evaluated both through an interpretive study of DFAQ artefacts and the performance in the examination. The paper examines relevant literature, details the research objectives, describes a field survey, and the results.

Authors: G. R. Ganieva; D. Iskhakova; Alfred Ildarovich Bashirov; D. R. Kamartdinova
Year: 2022

Currently, much attention is paid to the development of new thermal insulation materials in the production of building materials suitable for use in industrial and residential premises. Foam glass is one of the most popular inorganic thermal insulation materials. Foam glass is considered as one of the most high-quality and durable heat-insulating materials. It has a number of strength characteristics, among which are resistance to deformation, compressive strength, and resistance to environmental influences. Foam glass products are resistant to heat and aggressive chemicals, they do not undergo a combustion process, do not form smoke and do not emit toxic combustion products, and are also resistant to low temperatures. The material is easy to process, which allows you to get products of any desired shape. In this regard, this article discusses the relevance of an enterprise establishment for the production of foam glass: they performed the review of the material properties, environmental friendliness, production methods, and technologies, and analyzed the presence of competitors in the Republic of Tatarstan. The main conclusions on scheduling and social and economic analysis of the planned production are also presented. The purpose of the work is the creation of an enterprise for the production of foam glass. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to analyze the Russian market of heat-insulating materials, research the sales market and draw up a marketing plan, develop a schedule for an enterprise establishment, calculate the economic justification for the proposed production effectiveness, analyze the risks of a project for an enterprise establishment using the sensitivity analysis method.

The competences relevant for civil servants in the context of Ukraine’s path to European public administration standards are highlighted and summarised. Recommendations are made to educational service providers on the peculiarities of forming curricula and programmes for the professional development of civil servants in the context of Ukraine’s European integration. It is determined that adherence to the basic principles of professional development of civil servants should contribute to improving the efficiency of public administration and achieving the strategic goals of the State. In addition, the purpose of the article is to popularise the principles of professional development among a wide audience, which serves to form a conscious approach to the management of public resources and the development of the culture of the rule of law in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the implementation of the principles of professional development of civil servants in the context of European integration is possible with the use of the best educational practices and introduction of educational innovations which form relev of self-knowledge, self-development and self-realization. Modern educational practices that are useful in implementing the principles of professional development of civil servants in the context of European integration include, in particular, the following: simulators of management decisions and proposals that allow students to develop their own ideas and approaches to the formation and adoption of management decisions based on real cases, discuss them with practitioners and experts; training technologies; project management approaches; design thinking technologies that allow to direct training activities to solve specific problems of professional activity of public servants, to improve the service delivery system; involvement of foreign experts, including for the preparation and implementation of partnership training programmes; creation of online training platforms and training centres in public authorities.
Online Multimedia Database for Communities of Practice in Biology: A Real Use Challenge
Authors: Didier Sébastien; N. Conruyt
Year: 2008

The ETIC scientific program aims to enhance insular tropical environment research contents from biologists to general public through information and communication Web technologies. In this frame, online multimedia databases are convenient Web applications that allow communities of practice in Biology for environmental protection to share different types of documents (text, photo, video, sound, etc.). But the way to design them needs to be adapted to researcher's practices, in order to be really attractive and useful. By applying a user-centered development process and an appropriate human resources project management based on a co-design platform, our team has been able to develop an online multimedia database that matches user's expectations. An important effort has been devoted to deliver a usable interface close to offline standard applications. Indeed, Web applications will have to extract themselves from Web interface rigidity without imposing users to download additional plugins. Moreover, interoperability between Web applications allowing the creation and the online modification of files stored in the multimedia database is also a priority challenge.
Effective Change Management for Project Success
Authors: Josip Nad
Year: 2022

Change management applies a structured approach to effectively transition individuals, business processes and organizations from the current to the desired future state. On an example of a corporate business project, the paper analyses three types of business changes that most often occur as a consequence of large-scale projects: changes in the functionality of equipment and systems, changes in regular business procedures, and changes in the organizational structure. The changes presented in the paper are caused by a powerful business requirement, accompanied by new equipment and devices, new rules, new positions and new individuals. The main activities pertaining to change management analyzed include drafting an activity plan, assessing the impact of change on business, communicating with all levels of business hierarchy, monitoring the implementation of all parts of the change, and planning and controlling the necessary educational and training programmes for all project participants and business users. The paper ends with the comparison of three basic ways of change management: mechanical management with strict adherence to previously defined procedures, experiential management with active action, and intuitive management with occasional participation in project management. Key words: changes, projects, change management
Heuristic optimization for software project management with impacts of team efficiency
Authors: Nanlin Jin; X. Yao
Year: 2014

Most of the studies on project scheduling problems assume that every assigned participant or every team of the same number of participants, completes tasks with an equal efficiency, but this is usually not the case for real world problems. This paper presents a more realistic and complex model with extra consideration on team efficiency which are quantitatively measured on employee-task assignment. This study demonstrates the impacts of team efficiency in a well-studied software project management problem. Moreover, this study illustrates how a heuristic optimization method, population-based incremental learning, copes with such added complexity. The experimental results show that the resulting near optimal solutions not only satisfy constraints, but also reflect the impacts of team efficiency. The findings will hopefully motivate future studies on comprehensive understandings of the quality and efficiency of team work.
Effective Communication as a Success Factor in Project Management in an Universitary Context
Authors: Roxana-Denisa Miclea; Tudor Irimiaș
Year: 2023

Abstract This paper examines the effectiveness of communication of university students with high school students from all over the country. We look to provide a deeper understanding of how effective communication contributes to the success of a project in the sector of education and we identify some strategies that contribute to the improvement of some key aspects of communication. Thus, we have analyzed the importance of communication both inside and outside the team using three qualitative methods: project case study, document analysis and in-depth interviews with project participants. Our results are relevant for the potential new project participants, but also for the stakeholders in the public education sector in general, who aim to foster the bridge between university and pre-university education. We finally address conclusions and recommendations, which may serve as a guide for future participants and those who want to know how they can benefit from better communication in similar projects.
