Sustainability in Project Management: PM2 versus PRiSMTM
Authors: Patrícia Marques; Paulo Sousa; Anabela Tereso
Year: 2023

This paper makes a theoretical contribution by exploring the integration of sustainability principles into project management. It compares two recent methodologies, PM2 and PRiSMTM, and provides a practical contribution by advocating for the adoption of these sustainability-driven practices among practitioners. Sustainability remains relatively unknown in the realm of project management, and this study aims to bridge that gap. This study follows an interpretivist philosophy and employs a combination of interviews and archival data analysis. PM2, created by the European Commission, provides a project management methodology free to organizations and includes best practices from other bodies of knowledge. However, it does not include sustainability because it aims to be generic. PRiSMTM, based on the P5™, aims to make the project management process more sustainable. PRiSMTM has a P5 Impact Analysis and Sustainability Management Plan as its main differentiating deliverables and is an extension of the Triple Bottom Line, also including product and process. The PM2 Alliance CEO believes that PM2 aims to be generic, so a focus on sustainability would remove the methodology’s “elasticity”. However, users wishing to use PM2 and consider sustainability can include it in the additional objectives and use PRiSMTM to differentiate deliverables.
THE FEATURES OF IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIC UNIVERSITY TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS
Authors: S. Apenko; A. G. Breusova; N. P. Leshchenko
Year: 2024

The article focuses on the exploration of the issue surrounding the implementation of strategic university transformation initiatives, which arises from the fact that such projects frequently encounter management challenges. These challenges, in turn, stem from the lack of consideration for the unique characteristics of project management in this area, specifically, the peculiarities of the higher education sector and university projects. The goal of this study was to determine the specific aspects of implementing various transformational initiatives within the context of a university's strategic plan. The research encompasses both an analysis and synthesis of existing literature on related topics, as well as the conduct of original empirical sociological investigation. In this research, the methodology of in-depth, semi-structured interviews was employed, involving 22 professionals from one of Russia's largest universities in the Siberian Federal District. In the course of the research, the hypothesis was verified, which stated that when implementing strategic transformation projects in universities, certain characteristics and challenges arise that must be considered during the project management and strategic planning of universities. The findings of the study identified features of the implementation of strategic transformation projects taking into account industry-specific factors. The results, with scientific novelty, included a classification of university project types and a demonstration of the different roles of project teams based on project type. These materials have practical significance in that understanding industry-specific characteristics will allow universities to more effectively approach project management and increase the efficiency of strategic transformation initiatives. This article presents the first stage of the research focused on identifying the specific features of the implementation of strategic initiatives within universities. The second stage of this research, which will be presented in a subsequent article, will focus on applying a competency-based approach to the teams involved in transformational strategic initiatives at higher education institutions.

Conversational agents (CAs) promise to create significant organisational value, by transforming how organisations operate and serve customers. Yet, the malleability of this technology poses challenges to both researchers and practitioners because of the wide range of strategic applications they can enable. Drawing on the lens of routine capability, this study investigates strategic applications of CAs, and their associated implementation enablers and challenges. Via an exploratory case study of eight organisations that have successfully implemented CAs, this paper contributes to the literature on the value and implementation of conversational agents in particular and cognitive technologies in general by developing a typology of CA strategic applications and their implementation considerations. For practitioners, the findings highlight the interplay between technology, user, and project management factors that need to be addressed to ensure the successful delivery of the value of CAs.
Practicum in software project management: an endeavor to effective and pragmatic software project management education
Authors: M. Maqsood; T. Javed
Year: 2007

One of the key factors influencing project success or failure is project management. Unfortunately, effective management of software projects is not in practice; what is actually being practiced varies significantly from what is advised in the available literature. In order to improve performance in the field of software project management, there is a dire need to formally educate prospective project managers in both the theoretical and practical aspects of managing software projects. This paper focuses on the formulation and execution of Practicum in Software Project Management, a graduate course that aids students in learning practical aspects of software project management. This course has been a part of the Masters in Software Project Management curriculum at National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES), Lahore, Pakistan since 2001. We discuss the course in light of the major software project management activities recommended in literature. A comparison of the course with the Portfolio, Program and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3) has been done to allow us to 1) assess the maturity of this course in terms of software engineering project management processes, and 2) assist us in identifying and highlighting the areas needing further improvement in terms of teaching, practice and industry needs. The comparison is based on the key process areas applicable to our course and shows that Practicum in Software Project Management is 90% capable at the Repeatable and 81% capable at the Defined levels of the P3M3.
System Engineering on 3DEXPERIENCE Platform - UAS Use Case
Authors: F. Chauvin; Gauthier Fanmuy
Year: 2014

System Engineering has become increasingly complex over years. Not only the designed product itself must fulfill more requirements (functional, performances, ergonomics, interoperability, safety, ...) but additional constraints such as environmental friendliness, globalization, OEM / Suppliers relationships, intellectual property, regulatory compliance and many more must be integrated in the design process. This implies an extended multidisciplinary collaboration between system engineers and beyond with all participants and stakeholder of the project. The Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) use case illustrates how a modern tool suite can dramatically optimize the product development process. All the required information is made accessible in an integrated environment to ensure collaboration, project management, wise decision making and ultimately to help to imagine sustainable innovations capable of harmonizing product, nature and life.

Using cultural-historical activity theory to describe a university-wide blended learning initiative
Authors: Anselm Paul
Year: 2024

Institution-wide evaluations of Blended Learning implementations are rare. Even less common are evaluations that report the sociocultural context of the implementation. Recently, an Australian university in the western region of Victoria embarked on an initiative to blend all course units over a three-year period. Stemming from a rigorous analysis of reporting documents and participantresearcher observations, an attempt has been made to describe the sociocultural context of this blended learning initiative through the lens of Engestrom’s Cultural-historical Activity Theory (CHAT). This description, along with the challenges surfaced will serve as a precursor to the university-wide impact evaluation of this blended learning initiative. The objective of the analysis was to reify the complex processes, intricate relationships and dynamic environmental elements, which tend not to be captured by impact evaluations. Understanding what exactly is going on will enable the University to situate evaluation findings in the context of factors that might have helped or hampered the achievement of outcomes, and remediate process-related problems in a timely manner. Amidst the flurry of focused and coordinated blended learning activities, eight key process-related challenges emerged: Staff Capacity, Engagement, Deployment, Workload, Technological Issues, Project Management, Communication and Unit Stability. These challenges could potentially make or break ‘the Blend’ if not adequately addressed. This paper highlights the value of process evaluations for online and blended learning implementations and argues for such evaluations to be grounded in ontological realities reflected on accountability reports and observational data.
A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Framework for Software Project Management Tool Selection

Year: 2023

Project management tools are critical for managing software projects, decreasing costs, accelerating timelines, and using available resources effectively. However, project managers find it very tedious to choose a suitable software project management (SPM) tool from available tools in the market. The appropriateness of the SPM tool depends on the nature of the software project being developed – an SPM tool suitable for a large-scale software project may not be appropriate for small-scale projects. However, due to the complexities of the software projects and the development conditions, the selection of an SPM tool is often biased by personal preferences or marketing publicities which may lead to inefficiencies in SPM and consequently, lead to higher cost and lower quality of end product. In this work, we present a decision support framework for SPM tool selection. The proposed system develops a set of selection criteria based on an analytic network process (ANP). To demonstrate the internal working of the proposed framework, we put forward an example of the tool selection problem using the proposed system. Furthermore, the proposed system can be used as is for SPM tool selection for other than software projects.

The construction industry plays a substantial role in shaping the economies of many countries. Construction management faces various challenges that can lead to project failures, particularly in infrastructure projects struggling to meet cost and time requirements. Inadequate project planning and the intricate nature of construction projects can cause participants’ project goals to not align. It is crucial to address these challenges early in the planning stages to ensure project success. This research involved investigating previous studies to understand current practices for improving infrastructure project planning and selecting the best pre-project planning tool. Infrastructure projects in the Saudi construction industry are used as a case study. A questionnaire was prepared based on essential alignment issues affecting team alignment during pre-project planning. Participants rated the level of agreement with alignment issues and the overall success of a project they worked on. The study utilized descriptive and inferential analysis techniques to assess infrastructure project success rates and develop a predictive model driven by the alignment tool. Multiple linear regression techniques were used during the model’s development, and validation and reliability outputs were obtained. By evaluating all relevant stakeholders, the model generates a score to facilitate the pre-project planning process, increasing the likelihood of project success. The study found that the model’s predictive accuracy was 94%. This research is significant in creating a predictive model applicable to infrastructure projects, enhancing project management practices by enabling project teams to evaluate project progress, identify projects in need of corrective action, and ultimately improve project performance, leading to cost and time savings.
Managing Scope, Stakeholders and Human Resources in Cyber-Physical System Development
Authors: Filipe E. S. P. Palma; M. Fantinato; Laura Rafferty; P. Hung
Year: 2019

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) represent the convergence of physical processes and computational platforms
into technological solutions composed by sensors, actuators and software. Such as for other types of projects,
project management practices can benefit a CPS development project. Due to some particularities of CPS, such
as multidisciplinary team and high innovative aspect, generic project management practices may not be enough
to enhance project success. Therefore, specific practices are proposed for better managing CPS projects,
called CPS-PMBOK approach. CPS-PMBOK is based on the Project Management Institute’s PMBOK body
of knowledge. It is focused on the integration, scope, human resource and stakeholder knowledge areas;
which were chosen considering a systematic literature review conducted to identify the main CPS challenges.
Managers and developers of a R&D organization evaluated the approach. According to the practitioners
consulted, the proposed practices can improve several aspects related to CPS projects.
Mobile devices, powerful teaching tools in the engineering classroom
Authors: I. Menchaca; M. Guenaga; S. Romero
Year: 2015

The use of mobile devices in the classroom generates a continuous debate. Even if it involves some risks, there is no doubt that they are part of daily lifes of students, as well as the educational community. At higher education the use of these resources is even more relevant, as they all have at least one smart device. In this paper we show four experiences in the use of mobile devices for learning and teaching at the Faculty of Engineering (University of Deusto, Spain). We present four cases where mobile devices were used with educational purpose: generic activities for the learning management, activities in a laboratory, project management and ordinary activities in the classroom. We also provide the results of a questionnaire students answered about how they use mobile devices (in and out the classroom) and how they value their use in their learning.
A Preliminary Research of Prediction Markets Based on Blockchain Powered Smart Contracts
Authors: Shuai Wang; Xiaochun Ni; Yong Yuan; Feiyue Wang; Xiao Wang; Liwei Ouyang
Year: 2018

Prediction markets are markets where participants trade contracts whose payoffs are tied to a future event, thereby yielding prices that can be interpreted as market aggregated forecasts. Past studies have shown that the prediction markets can provide accurate forecasts, sometimes better than sophisticated statistical tools. Due to their advantages, prediction markets have been widely used in the prediction of elections, project management, product quality, and impact of events. However, prediction markets also have some limitations, e.g., poor anonymity and limited market liquidity. In this paper, we propose to apply blockchain powered smart contracts to the prediction markets. First, we give a comprehensive overview on the prediction markets, including their theoretical basis, classification and applications. Second, we present how to design prediction markets based on smart contracts. Then, the algorithm of contracts implementation is proposed. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, an intra-enterprise prediction market is built based on a private blockchain. The experimental results show that the market can make accurate prediction for a particular event. In addition, the autonomy, self-sufficiency, and decentralization characteristics of blockchain make the prediction markets more efficient and robust.

Social logistics: Rethinking public transport as a regional distributor of goods in rural areas. Chances for the long-term establishment of a sustainable regional logistics approach
Authors: Eva Greischel; E. Nagy; Alexander Conrad; Martina Schäfer
Year: 2023

This paper presents initial findings on the establishment of a social logistics project in a peripheral rural region in Germany. As part of a real-life laboratory, two services were developed and tested with the aim of improving rural supply: the delivery of regional goods and the return of online orders in cooperation with a regional public transport provider, regional retailers and parcel services. An evaluation team provided support to the project in identifying, monitoring, and documenting the societal impact of the services and promoted impact-oriented project management. The concept of providing services of general interest through social logistics and testing them in a real-world laboratory was based on preliminary work in the region. The results indicate that this approach can promote this type of social logistics in the long term. A social logistics approach does not focus solely on economic aspects but emphasises social and environmental benefits for the region. A real-world laboratory approach enables an environment that promotes open exchange, involvement of different stakeholders and joint problem solving in a reflective, iterative process. This methodological approach enabled the continuation and out-scaling of the service’s core offerings immediately after ending the test phase and is seen as an important prerequisite for establishing a long-term perspective.
Project-led PBL with a Mixed-Mode Approach for a Midterm Freshman Course in Electrical Engineering Realizing All-Electric Powertrains for Vehicles
Authors: E. Strömstedt
Year: 2020

This Full Paper on Innovative Practise introduces a successful pedagogical approach to active student learning and student centred teaching in a large project course in electrical engineering for 70 midterm freshmen students in two educational programs at Uppsala University. Each program is challenged with the complex electrical engineering task of realizing an all-electric powertrain from component level for a passenger car. The first two rounds of the course struggled and not until the presented approach was taken into practise were the main project objectives achieved. The principles for the approach are based on project– led PBL with a so-called mixed-mode approach by adding a variety of supporting content supplied through various teaching methods and by applying adapted concurrent project management methods. The paper addresses the arguments for the approach, the course design, objectives, and some of the successful solutions over the last 6 years. The approach has been evaluated by extensive written student course evaluations, student examination results, the experiences of the team of teachers from faculty, and compared over time. It is shown how the approach effectively enables achievement of the project and learning objectives, increases subject interest, provides valuable experiences from a project work environment, and in the process inspires and motivates students towards a career in engineering, thereby increasing the retention within the education. Both students and teachers have greatly appreciated the course and it is likely that the presented approach can be used also in other similar project courses in engineering.
