Modeling user story completion of an agile software process
Authors: Dan X. Houston; D. Buettner
Year: 2013

Although some researchers have studied agile techniques of software development using simulation, simulation studies of actual agile projects are difficult to find. This report on an industrial case study seeks to address this need by presenting an experience of modeling and analyzing an agile software development process using discrete event simulation. The study, undertaken for software process improvement, produced analyses that provided project management with process capability information. First, a sensitivity analysis used a designed experiment to measure the dominant factors in user story productivity. Second, a response surface provided information on the process tolerance for defect rework. Finally, a scenario comparison supported a management decision on sprint usage.

Authors: Prof. Sajane A. S; Gund R. R
Year: 2023

Abstract: Affordable housing refers to housing that some people in the community can afford with a lower than averagee family income. Affordable Housing is an immediate way to achieve the goal of housing for all under the leadership of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Modern Mivan technology is used to construct buildings quickly, while project management software such as Pri mavera is used to create a plan of events during construction. Large estates have many buildings.Primavera is a tool for underst anding project planning and tracking construction progress. The study also pointed out that the cost of constructing a monolithi c building using the Mivan method is higher due to the higher cost of aluminum formwork; therefore using more than 150 form work systems will make construction faster and cheaper than traditional methods. Similarly, the traditional method requires 88% more workers than the Mivan method due to the long time taken.

Year: 2024

Background: The topics of digitalisation and project management have received increasing attention in the 21st century due to the important role they play in organisational success.Objectives: The article makes use of an exploratory approach to determine the push factors and challenges disrupting digitalisation as well as the key success factors that influence the use of digitalisation to support project managers in a mining organisation.Method: A qualitative approach was undertaken in this study, categorised by an interpretive lens. Twelve authoritative capacity participants were purposively selected and interviewed face-to-face to identify the subjective nature of reality and phenomena.Results: The study findings strongly suggest that, in order to improve project management digitalisation within the organisation and improve organisational efficiency, consideration should be given to the push factors for digitalisation. However, challenges such as resistance to change and infrastructure limitations disrupt the digitalisation process. The findings also revealed that key success factors include leadership and organisational support, which should also be taken into account when implementing digitalisation.Conclusion: It can be concluded that the aim of the study has been met and the research objective reached.Contribution: Given the importance of project management digitalisation, especially in the mining sector, the study makes a unique and meaningful contribution through empirically determined findings. Specifically, this study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing influential factors for digitalising project management. In addition, the development of the conceptual project management framework provides sound contributions to further advance the field of study.
Insights on the impact of conformity and commitment on project performance
Authors: C. G. Rodriguez; Bassam A. Hussein
Year: 2015

Organizational influences is an umbrella concept that refers to factors in the social and organizational context that impact the project setting. Shared values are organizational influences and a level of organizational culture. This paper explores the impact of three shared values, namely conformity and commitment, on the organization and project performance in the Norwegian project management practice. The exploration was done by means of semi-structured interviews. The findings show that although conformity is not a promoted value, it is rather a practiced value that decreases project team performance and causes irrational selection of project personnel. Commitment on the other hand is a promoted and practiced value that becomes critical during troubleshooting and problem solving when projects meets challenges. This investigation is aimed to provide insights into the impacts of shared values so that the project managers can use this knowledge to deal with the complex social context where the project is submerged.

Authors: Ondrej Havazík; P. Pavlícková
Year: 2020

This paper describes how to design an agile game in a software tool so that it can be played primarily by computer science students. A board-based game was created and played by students. It is beneficial for students to understand not only an agile approach to IT project management, but also work with software tools. So it was necessary to design the game in computer version as well. The game was played in a board version, compared to the theoretical interpretation, the practical version of the agile approach and Scrum framework was found to be more beneficial. The agile game concept was designed so that the game could be played within 90 minutes. In order to play the game successfully, students have to go through a lecture where the rules and concept of the whole game, how agile approach works, and also the Scrum framework was explained in detail.
Comprehensive Integrated Checklists for Requirements Engineering and Software Project Management
Authors: Husam Suleiman; Adedamola Adepetu; Edin Arnautovic; D. Svetinovic
Year: 2013

Software engineering processes are often challenged by overlooked tasks and misguided decisions that are simple but yet essential for the success of the system to be developed. A list of guidelines and steps is required to help facilitate software development processes by efficiently guiding engineers and managers at different stages of software development. Moreover, the ensuring of the execution of required tasks is essential to reduce the likelihood of the system failure. In other critical areas such as medical surgery or aerospace control, the use of checklists has proven as a successful practice to ensure the effective and efficient execution of the tasks in a process. Although several of the current practices in software development include using some art of checklists to monitor the software development processes, there are no unified and integrated checklists from research and industry resulting in significant disparities. Such ambiguity could be even counter-productive instead of easing the software development processes. In order to fill this gap, we developed comprehensive and integrated software engineering checklists for the critical areas of requirements engineering and software project management. To create such comprehensive checklists and ensure their completeness, we applied the systematic literature review method. We analyzed 323 documents from academia and industry, and identified a total of 183 requirements engineering checklist items and 263 project management checklist items.
Gender Biases in Hiring Project Managers: Perceptions of Trust and Likeability
Authors: J. Pinto; P. Patanakul; M. Pinto
Year: 2015

There have been numerous studies examining the effects of social role theory on negative stereotyping of female managers, including low perceived likeability and unwillingness by subordinates to trust them. These attributions are particularly relevant in the context of “male-dominated” jobs, such as technical disciplines like engineering and project management. We investigated the specific setting of project manager job candidate selection, a professional discipline that has historically been male-dominated, but one that has seen a large rise in female project managers over the past decade. We examined the perceptions of respondents to differences in male and female job candidates based on the critical personal/managerial characteristics of trust and likeability. Using a scenario-based survey questionnaire, we sampled 312 project management personnel and tested subjects' reactions to two candidates for a project management position, employing identical descriptions and language while only changing the candidate's name: Susan or Stan. Our results suggested that, contrary to expectations, respondents' perceptions of the female candidate, Susan, were significantly higher across both managerial dimensions of likeability and trust. Implications of these findings and directions for future research are discussed.
Success Factors of Global New Product Development Programs, the Definition of Project Success, Knowledge Sharing, and Special Issues of Project Management Journal®
Authors: H. Gemünden
Year: 2015

Project Management Journal, Vol. 46, No. 1, 2–11 © 2015 by the Project Management Institute Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/pmj.21480 research design, and results of this research program and elaborates on the implications for practice and research. The article builds on an integrated framework, which has been derived from three types of literature: new product development, globalization, and organization. The basic assumption is that success factors can be classified into two groups: (1) ‘Resources,’ which are the longer-term, background factors—that is, the more tacit, ‘softer,’ and difficult-to-imitate—factors that must be part of the internal environment of the firm if it is to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage; and (2) ‘Capabilities,’ which entail more actionable and specific skills, competencies, and routines that firms develop and adjust in line with the dynamics of the situation in the shorter term. In this view of what leads to success, resources are seen as having an indirect impact on performance, in that they are empowered by relevant capabilities. The invited article from Ulrike de Brentani and Elko Kleinschmidt summarizes five of their previous articles:
Thriving in a Pandemic: Lessons Learned from a Resilient University Program Seen Through the CoI Lens
Authors: Zihui Ma; Lingyao Li; John C.E. Johnson
Year: 2023

In March 2020, college campuses underwent a sudden transformation to online learning due to the COVID-19 outbreak. To understand the impact of COVID-19 on students' expectations, this study conducted a three-year survey from ten core courses within the Project Management Center for Excellence at the University of Maryland. The study involved two main steps: 1) a statistical analysis to evaluate students' expectations regarding "student," "class," "instructor," and "effort;" and 2) a lexical salience-valence analysis (LSVA) through the lens of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework to show the changes of students' expectations. The results revealed that students' overall evaluations maintained relatively consistent amid the COVID-19 teaching period. However, there were significant shifts of the student expectations toward Cognitive, Social and Teaching Presence course elements based on LSVA results. Also, clear differences emerged between under-graduates and graduates in their expectations and preferences in course design and delivery. These insights provide practical recommendations for course instructors in designing effective online courses.

Understanding the motivations and benefits of citizen science (CS) participants is critical to the success of environmental science projects that rely on data collection from engaged citizens. Tailored communication with citizen scientists is essential, leading to the need to target specific societal groups for extensive and high-quality data sets. The purpose of the study was to apply marketing concepts such as stakeholder analysis, value proposition canvas (VPC), and key performance indicators (KPIs) to CS projects. The study examined the extent to which these strategies can be applied to CS projects and add value, resulting in improved recruitment and retention of participants, as well as improved project management. The dynamic landscape of CS projects requires adapted business-oriented approaches supporting ongoing participation with high motivation, acknowledging community needs, and recognizing institutional scientists, akin to targeting potential customers. The case study focuses on the CityCLIM initiative, an EU-funded project collecting urban climate data, especially air temperature, using mobile weather stations. The CityCLIM VPC, analyzing stakeholder groups, facilitated tailored communication strategies by analyzing stakeholder groups and highlighting the effectiveness of the CS cycling initiative within the “Stadtradeln” program. Impact KPIs served as a roadmap for strategic refinement, while data quality KPIs identified deficiencies, guiding adjustments to the campaign. Applied marketing tools improved project planning, engagement, and evaluation, demonstrating the potential of this concept. Adapting marketing tools to recruitment and communication strategies benefits CS projects by targeting specific groups. The holistic integration of stakeholder analysis, VPC, and KPIs streamlines project management and creates a framework for sustainable success. This adaptation forms a robust toolkit for CS project coordinators, contributing to effective communication, engagement, and impact assessment. Applying marketing tools significantly increases CS projects’ reach and impact, ensuring long-term success and meaningful scientific contributions.
Project Management Practices and Implementation of Somali Humanitarian Fund Projects by Local Non-Governmental Organizations in Mogadishu, Somalia
Authors: Abdihakim Gureh; Alfayos Ondara
Year: 2024

The effective management and control of a project are fundamental to its success. In the context of intricate projects, such as those associated with the Somali Humanitarian Fund (SHF), strict adherence to a defined scope, schedule, and budget is crucial to attaining the desired outcomes. Humanitarian and Development (SHF) projects carried out by local NGOs in Mogadishu, Somalia. The specific goals of the study included scrutinizing the role of communication in SHF project performance, evaluating the impact of planning on project success, assessing the effects of financing on project performance, and determining the importance of monitoring and evaluation in the implementation of SHF projects. The study was grounded in the Theory of Change, Management by Objective Theory, Adaptive Structuration Theory, and the Theory of Constraints. Employing a descriptive survey design, the research involved a population of 50 SHF projects. Data collection utilized a semi-structured questionnaire, and the analysis was conducted using SPSS, with findings presented through mean scores, standard deviation, and percentages. The findings highlight the critical role of effective communication, comprehensive planning, adequate financing, and robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) mechanisms in project success. Communication challenges were identified as hindrances to timely project completion, emphasizing the need for improved communication channels and strategies. Planning was deemed essential, but the recognition of inadequate planning as a challenge suggests a need for capacity building and best practice adoption. Financial support was seen as crucial, but there's room for improved assessment by financiers to ensure transparency. M&E processes were acknowledged as integral, yet areas like demonstrating corrective actions and aligning deliverables with objectives need attention for enhanced effectiveness and accountability. Recommendations include enhancing communication channels, bolstering planning capacities, improving financial management practices, and institutionalizing M&E processes. These steps aim to mitigate challenges, optimize resource utilization, and maximize the impact of SHF projects on vulnerable populations in Mogadishu.
Theory-based evaluation of capacity-building interventions
Authors: V. Nakrošis
Year: 2014

Despite the increased attention of evaluation theorists and practitioners on theory-based evaluation, there is still no agreement regarding how to apply this evaluation approach in practice. In order to further advance the application of theory-based evaluation, the article elaborates a specific causal model for the in-depth evaluation of capacity-building interventions supported by the European Social Fund. This model of program outcomes is used to make a contribution claim: that better results of one set of performance management projects can be explained by their better design and more favorable conditions for their implementation compared to other similar projects. The article suggests setting some specific conditionalities – such as assessing the organizational maturity of potential beneficiaries and improving their project management systems before the start of project execution – to improve the implementation of future capacity-building interventions.
Continuous SPA: Continuous Assessing and Monitoring Software Process
Authors: Xian Chen; P. Sorenson; John Willson
Year: 2007

In the past ten years many assessment approaches have been proposed to help manage software process quality. However, few of them are configurable and real-time in practice. Hence, it is advantageous to find ways to monitor the current status of software processes and detect the improvement opportunities. In this paper, we introduce a web- based prototype system (Continuous SPA) on continuous assessing and monitoring software process, and perform a practical study in one process area: project management. Our study results are positive and show that features such as global management, well-defined responsibility and visualization can be integrated in process assessment to help improve the software process management.
An analysis of collaborative patterns in large-scale ontology development projects
Authors: S. Falconer; Tania Tudorache; Natasha Noy
Year: 2011

Today, distributed teams collaboratively create and maintain more and more ontologies. To support this type of ontology development, software engineers are introducing a new generation of tools. However, we know relatively little about how existing large-scale collaborative ontology development works and what user workflows the tools must support. In this paper, we analyze our experience in supporting several such projects. We describe a visual and interactive project-management tool that we have developed, which helps ontology developers explore historical ontology change and discussion data. We present the results of qualitative and quantitative studies of the collaborative activity associated with three large-scale ontology-development projects. Based on the analysis, we conclude that domain and ontology experts have different patterns of ontology editing behavior, which has important implications for ontology-development tools.
Australian Health Services Management Courses: A discussion on syllabus
Authors: Margaret Yen; Judith Anderson
Year: 2023

Objective: The aim of this research was to understand core knowledge areas offered by Masters courses in health services management in Australian universities.
Design: A Google search identified relevant Masters’ degrees in health services management. Course syllabus was then extracted from each university’s website. Common core subjects were then collated and compared.
Setting: Data for this study was collected from Australian university websites.Main outcome measures: Findings were compared with those presented in a similar study conducted in 2013. Interpretation was also informed by an appraisal of key issues that characterise the current context of health care in Australia.
Results: Masters’ degrees in health services management were offered by 18 universities. Common core subjects included management, evaluation, evidence, health system, governance, law and human resource management. A comparison with an earlier study conducted by Ritchie and Yen [1] found an increase in the following subjects: health system, quality management, health economics, policy and research, and a decrease in health information, epidemiology and resourcing. New knowledge areas included leadership, planning and project management, change management, and strategy.
Conclusions: This paper presents a discussion on knowledge areas that comprise syllabus in masters level health services management education nationally. Key findings revealed differences between courses and the responsiveness of core syllabus to the current health care environment. The emergence of leadership, planning and project management was unsurprising while an absence of subjects that gave explicit reference to First Nations peoples was a notable finding.
Cultural Intelligence and Project Management Interplay in IT Offshore Outsourcing Projects
Authors: R. Beck; R. Gregory; Michael Prifling
Year: 2008

Prior research on the management of IT offshore outsourcing projects has focused on crosscultural issues or on project and relationship management issues. However, there is still a lack of understanding concerning effective management practices that help to overcome the challenges of client-vendor cultural distance in IT offshoring relationships. Therefore, the goal of this research is to increase our understanding of how the risks that result from this cultural distance in IT offshoring can be mitigated and which management practices must be employed. Thereby, we take both cross-cultural and project management issues into account and focus on the specific interplay between both elements. As research on this topic is scarce, we chose a theory-building and exploratory research design. We conducted an in-depth analysis of a single case from the financial services industry in Germany. Our findings suggest that cultural intelligence and IT project management techniques interact with each other in a reinforcing virtuous circle.
