Understanding project success: The four-level project success framework
Authors: Eskander M. Howsawi; D. Eager; Ravindra Bagia
Year: 2011

It is acknowledged in project management literature that a project's success means different things to different people. This implies that the definition of success will be different for each project. However, success is a common goal for projects regardless of the specific definition for each project. This statement implies that there can be a common approach in planning for success and generalized framework that can guide the process of defining and planning the project success for different projects. This paper presents the underlying framework that directs the optimum success definition and planning process. Through a literature review and classification of success criteria, a four level success framework was developed, namely: context level; business level; product level; and project process level. This framework explains the relationship between levels and provides guidelines for decision process. The framework is generalized and can be applied to most projects.
Too Drained from Being Agile? The Self-Regulatory Effects of the Use of Agile ISD Practices and their Consequences on Turnover Intention
Authors: L. Mueller; Alexander Benlian
Year: 2022

While much is known about the beneficial effects of agile information systems development (ISD), scholars have largely neglected to address its potential downsides. Specifically, research on this topic has thus far overlooked the ambivalent implications of the specific demands placed on developers working in agile ISD teams, including potentially depleting effects. Drawing on ego depletion theory and the associated literature, we provide a more balanced view and introduce self-regulatory resource depletion triggered by using agile ISD practices—encompassing software development (SD) and project management (PM) practices—as a theoretical perspective on why agile developers experience different levels of work-related fatigue that lead to stronger or weaker turnover intentions. Furthermore, we propose that due to the specific way in which agile ISD methods organize ISD project work, developers’ perceived workload influences the intensity by which agile ISD practices affect self-regulatory resources and developers’ feelings of fatigue. We examined our research model using a multimethod approach including quantitative and qualitative data. We found that the use of agile SD practices enhances developers’ self-regulatory resources and reduces fatigue and turnover intention. Our results also show that perceived workload strengthens the energizing effects of the use of agile SD practices and reveals a depleting effect of the use of agile PM practices, with countervailing implications for turnover intention. This study contributes to agile ISD literature by drawing a more nuanced and balanced picture with both resource-enhancing and resource-draining effects of the use of agile ISD practices. Finally, we give managerial advice regarding factors to consider when designing and managing agile ISD projects.
A multi-agent system for distributed multi-project scheduling with two-stage decomposition
Authors: Feifei Li; Zhe Xu
Year: 2018

A two-stage decomposition approach based on a novel multi-agent system (MAS) is proposed for the distributed resource constrained multi-project scheduling problem (DRCMPSP). In stage one, from the point of view of each local project manager, a forward-backward hybrid genetic algorithm (FBHGA) is developed to generate an initial local schedule with the objective of minimizing individual project makespan. In stage two, from the global perspective of project management office, a sequential game-based negotiation mechanism is employed to eliminate global resource conflicts with the objective of minimizing total tardiness cost (TTC). The proposed approach is tested on 140 benchmark problem instances. According to the computational results, high-quality local project schedules can be obtained by FBHGA in stage one. Furthermore, it is observed that our method is capable of dealing with various complex multi-project instances under different degrees of resource conflicts in reasonable CPU running time. Compared to the existing decentralized methods for DRCMPSP, the proposed approach with sequential game-based negotiation mechanism shows the superiority in producing multi-project schedules with lower TTC, especially for large-size and strong conflicting instances.

Authors: Silke Geithner; Daniela Menzel
Year: 2016

Aim. In close cooperation with an international automotive supplier we developed the “C2” business simulation game in order to meet real work practice needs. Based on the example of a site-location decision and the setup of a new factory in China, the participants of the game experienced the challenges of an interdisciplinary project team as well as project management in complex and rapidly changing situations. During the game we used the creative learning method LEGO® Serious Play®, 1 which helps to express different understandings through hands-on modelling. The aim of the game is to acquire and improve both technical project management knowledge and soft skills of the participants. Method. In total, 47 students participated in one of six two-day game sessions. They reported self-perceptions about their skill level through pre- and post-game questionnaires. Further data were collected during the simulation game based on observations, lessons learned reflections of the participants and evaluation questionnaires. Results. Results from our pre- and post-game self-assessment questionnaires show that the “C2” business simulation game improves not only conceptual knowledge about project management but also team working and the participants’ other soft skills. Results indicate that the students’ reactions to the simulation game were positive, and students felt that the LEGO Serious Play method helped them to better cope with challenges of teamwork, influences of stakeholders, risk factors and unpredictable project situations. Conclusion. These results suggest that our business simulation game has the potential to be an effective learning and training tool to provide students with relevant skills necessary for project managers. By giving students the opportunity to act in an authentic scenario based on a real project case, we can support their action-oriented as well as their trial-and-error learning, or in short their learning through experience.
A New Teaching Model For The Subject Of Software Project Management
Authors: M. Rizwan; Jameel Qureshi; M. Asim; Muhammad Nadeem; A. Mehmood
Year: 2012

Software (SW) development is a very tough task which requires a skilled project leader for its success. If the project leader is not skilled enough then project may fail. In the real world of SW engineering 65% of the SW projects fail to meet their objectives as in [1]. The main reason is lack of training of the project mangers. This extreme ratio of failure can be reduced by teaching SW project management (SPM) to the future project managers in the practical manner, so that they may be skillful enough to handle the project in a better way. This paper intends to propose a model to be used to teach SPM to the student of SW engineering to reduce the failure rate of projects.
A group decision-support method for IT project management based on Markov Chain
Authors: Hui-zhang Shen; R. Qiu; Jidi Zhao
Year: 2008

This Paper studies the meta-synthesis of group decision-making problems aimed at IT project management. We analyze decision maker's preference utility value and present a decision-making evaluation model. In order to avoid the negative effect caused by extreme preference utility values, the concept of normal mean factor is given and applied to the decision-making evaluation model to ensure the non-dictatorship of group decision-making for IT project management. We adopt virtual decision makers and virtual alternatives when constructing the Markov State Transition Matrix to resolve the inequality of decision makers and alternatives. Finally, a meta-synthesis method of group decision-making for IT project management based on Markov Chain is presented.

Authors: H. Unegbu; Yawas D.S; Dan-asabe B.
Year: 2024

The construction sector plays a vital role in driving economic growth and development in Nigeria. However, it faces significant challenges, particularly in project performance, which can be attributed, at least in part, to ineffective communication and procurement management. This research aims to evaluate how communication and procurement management impact the outcomes of construction projects in Nigeria. To conduct this study, a quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a survey questionnaire administered to 260 construction professionals. The data collected underwent analysis employing various techniques such as descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), exploratory factor analyses (EFA), and structural equation model (SEM) utilizing software including the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Microsoft Excel, and LISREL (Linear Structural Relations). The SEM analysis results revealed that 31 out of the 35 hypotheses used in the study were validated. Among these, the strongest relationships observed were those between procurement management and time performance, procurement management and cost performance, time performance and cost performance, time performance and quality performance, and communication management and time performance, in that specific order. This demonstrates the critical role of effective communication and procurement management in achieving successful construction projects in Nigeria. Additionally, the analysis of factors affecting the implementation of procurement and communication management in the Nigerian construction industry highlighted the need for stakeholders to be proactive in developing strategies that facilitate effective implementation of these practices to enhance project performance. The study also emphasizes the importance of establishing effective procurement policies and regulations, embracing technology, building capacity, managing stakeholders, and continuously improving project management practices to elevate project performance in the Nigerian construction industry.
Time Contexts in Document-Driven Projects on the Web: From Time-Sensitive Links towards an Ontology of Time
Authors: Anneli Heimbürger; J. Multisilta; Kai Ojansuu
Year: 2007

Time is the core resource of a project. A project combines human and non-human resources together into a temporary organization that aims to achieve a specified objective. A project has a temporal structure of its own, with related operations and deliverables that also are functions of time. In knowledge-intensive organizations, more and more projects are distributed, document-driven processes with parallel phases and tasks. Change management between parallel phases and tasks with associated documents has become one of the core functions in distributed project management. In our paper, we present a framework for time contexts in distributed project management environments, particularly from a project manager's point of view. In document-driven projects, document life-cycles, the statuses of documents, temporal relations between documents, all define the document logistics of a project and describe the overall temporal structure of a project. We analyze the life-cycles of project documents with related time statuses and temporal relations between different documents. We apply time-sensitive links to illustrate the temporal characteristics of project documents and to construct time-based navigation support through the life-cycles and temporal relations of the project documents in single and simple project environments. Our approach is designed to be applied especially to the analysis phase of document logistics from a time-based project management point of view before an organization selects and implements a commercial or customized distributed project management system. We extend our approach to more complex, multi-project environments. We discuss an ontology of time, and Topic Maps as a means of analyzing, deriving and managing time rule sets separated from project document space. The focus of our approach is on knowledge-intensive organizations, on Web-based document-centric projects and on solutions based on W3C Recommendations.

Year: 2024

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been the centerpiece of China's foreign policy since 2013, with a focus on infrastructure development and investment in countries along the ancient Silk Road. As part of this initiative, China has been promoting the development of public-private partnership (PPP) projects to help finance and build infrastructure in participating countries. This paper aims to assess the investment efficiency of the National infrastructure PPP projects under the BRI. In comparison to traditional infrastructure projects, PPP projects involve many stakeholders, and the level of cooperation among the various stakeholders has a direct impact on the project's outcomes. As a consequence of this, doing research on the efficiency of PPP project collaboration is an absolute necessity. The study uses both primary and secondary data sources, including interviews with project managers and financial analysis of project data. The results show that while there are some successful PPP projects under the BRI, overall investment efficiency is hindered by issues such as poor project management, lack of transparency, and regulatory challenges. The results also manifest that the application of PPP, the increasing amount of and investments on PPP projects all significantly helped improve the efficiency, which implies a good effect of PPP. Moreover, the efficiency had been significantly improved since the BRI was put forward in 2013, which proves the value and effectiveness of this worldwide policy. Which really great to know that, the result has given us a positive feedback regarding upcoming investors of PPP Project. The study provides recommendations for improving the investment efficiency of PPP projects under the BRI.
Sustainability risk management in a cooperative environment under uncertainty
Authors: M. Moradi; A. Hafezalkotob; V. Ghezavati
Year: 2019


Purpose
This study considers a project scheduling model to assess the project risks and the impacts on project sustainability when subcontractors collaborate under uncertainty. Moreover, some allocation methods are applied for fair allocating utility of the project and supper-additivity, stability and satisfaction level of each coalition. Finally, sustainability concept is considered in risk assessment in all coalitions.


Design/methodology/approach
The proposed mathematical programming model evaluates project risks when the subcontractors cooperate with each other by sharing their limited resources. Then, some cooperative game theory methods are applied for fair allocation of net present value, of the cooperation and finally sustainability aspects (economic, social and environmental) are investigated in risk assessment for each possible coalition.


Finding
The results of the proposed model indicate that the subcontractors can increase their profit by 10 per cent ($14,028,450 thousand) and save the equilibrium between sustainability aspects especially in grand coalition. It means that subcontractors do not have incentive to leave the coalition and the supper-additive property is feasible. Furthermore, risk assessment shows that project risks have less impact on subcontractor profits when they cooperate with each other.


Originality/value
Sustainability aspects may be investigated in project management in previous studies, but the authors study sustainability indicators when subcontractors form a coalition and share their resources in response to the risks of availability to resources and delay in completing the project under uncertainty.
Designing Digital Literacy Activities: An Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Approach
Authors: Julie Henry; Alyson Hernalesteen; Anne-Sophie Collard
Year: 2020

This WIP presents an innovative collaborative and interdisciplinary approach integrating computer science literacy and digital media literacy to build a critical citizenship-oriented digital education. This approach is inspired by design-oriented research methodology. Designing an activity aimed at digital education has four stages: appropriating of the subject matter, stepping back oneself from the expert knowledge, defining the sequence of the activity, and creating educational materials. It is carried out collaboratively between researchers (activity designers), practitioners (teachers and children), and experts in media and computer science. This approach takes shape through two research projects aimed at 10 to 15-year-old children: a first project targeting artificial intelligence literacy and a second one, Internet security literacy. The AI literacy project is tested with 75 teachers-in-training, five teachers, and 85 children aged 10 to 15. The critical analysis of the approach is at interdisciplinarity and collaboration levels. The alliance of computer science education and digital media education makes it possible to give meaning to educational activities. "Turnkey" educational materials corresponding to the expectations of teachers, and the reality of a classroom, are created. However, the balance between the two axes is difficult to find. Moreover, this approach takes time and makes project management difficult.
A Framework for the Identification of Spreadsheet Usage Patterns
Authors: Thomas Reschenhofer; F. Matthes
Year: 2015

Spreadsheets are omnipresent in today’s enterprises, in particular for supporting business users in their decision-making. Thereby, they are used in various ways to support business processes, i.a., in the areas of financial reporting, resource management, and project management. However, shortcomings of prevalent spreadsheet software (e.g., limited collaboration support) have negative impacts onto the risk and compliance efforts which are dictated by both the company’s goal of reducing the risk of financial losses as well as by legal regulations. Due to the variety of spreadsheet usages, there cannot be single solution addressing all those shortcomings. It is necessary to define classes of spreadsheet usages in order to be able to develop tailored solutions for each of those classes. Therefore, in this paper we show the results of an empirical study on spreadsheet usages, which we conducted in two companies. Based on those results we propose a morphological box as a classification framework for determining patterns of spreadsheet usages. Those patterns can serve as a foundation for future research focusing on specific spreadsheet usage patterns, e.g., the design of tailored solution approaches for enhancing the support of business processes.

Background Mobile health (mHealth) interventions are becoming more common in low-income countries. Existing research often overlooks implementation challenges associated with the design and technology requirements of mHealth interventions. Objective We aimed to characterize the challenges that we encountered in the implementation of a complex mHealth intervention in Uganda. Methods We customized a commercial mobile survey app to facilitate a two-arm household-randomized, controlled trial of home-based tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation. We incorporated digital fingerprinting for patient identification in both study arms and automated SMS messages in the intervention arm only. A local research team systematically documented challenges to implementation in biweekly site visit reports, project management reports, and minutes from biweekly conference calls. We then classified these challenges using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Results We identified challenges in three principal CFIR domains: (1) intervention characteristics, (2) inner setting, and (3) characteristics of implementers. The adaptability of the app to the local setting was limited by software and hardware requirements. The complexity and logistics of implementing the intervention further hindered its adaptability. Study staff reported that community health workers (CHWs) were enthusiastic regarding the use of technology to enhance TB contact investigation during training and the initial phase of implementation. After experiencing technological failures, their trust in the technology declined along with their use of it. Finally, complex data structures impeded the development and execution of a data management plan that would allow for articulation of goals and provide timely feedback to study staff, CHWs, and participants. Conclusions mHealth technologies have the potential to make delivery of public health interventions more direct and efficient, but we found that a lack of adaptability, excessive complexity, loss of trust among end users, and a lack of effective feedback systems can undermine implementation, especially in low-resource settings where digital services have not yet proliferated. Implementers should anticipate and strive to avoid these barriers by investing in and adapting to local human and material resources, prioritizing feedback from end users, and optimizing data management and quality assurance procedures.
