21951d9441e16d2d2856f979cdfbae90de56c1a5 | Measuring COSMIC Software Size from Functional Execution Traces of Java Business Applications | Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods aim to measure the size of software by quantifying its functional user requirements. Although FSM is greatly beneficial in software project management, due to involving judgment on the part of the measurer, differences for the same application may occur. In addition, when an organization wants to build its own historical repository, FSM of the previously developed software might be costly. In this paper, therefore, we examine the possibility of measuring the functional size from source or binary code automatically. Our method utilizes UML Sequence Diagrams derived from functional execution traces of the software at runtime, by which we apply COSMIC FSM rules to measure size. We have aimed to develop a tool called 'Cosmic Solver' to support our method and used its initial prototype for functional size measurement of a sample, three-tier Java business application. This paper explains the basics of the method and the prototype, and the results from its application on the sample. It has been found that the size extracted by the prototype convergent to the one obtained by manual calculation. | 2,014 | [

The selection of an appropriate tool is crucial, given the many options available in the market. This scholarly article employs a comparative analysis methodology to scrutinize two prominent project management tools, Asana and Trello. The aim is to assist companies and organizations in making informed decisions based on their specific needs. The comparative analysis delves into the strengths and weaknesses of Asana and Trello, assessing their features, functionalities, and suitability in the context of knowledge management areas. Both tools are evaluated for their capability to address project management challenges and improve organizational processes. The study concludes that the choice between Asana and Trello hinges on factors such as project scale, organizational requirements, and the preferred level of complexity. With its comprehensive features, Asana emerges as ideal for larger, agile-oriented projects. In contrast, Trello's simplicity and user-friendly interface suit relatively smaller projects well. This analysis provides valuable insights for organizations to align their project management tools with specific project conditions, facilitating optimising project execution processes to meet their unique goals and requirements. In terms of features, Asana outshines Trello by providing a more extensive range of functionalities that effectively support the mapping of knowledge management areas. | 2,024 | [

92cc4fea355f1fe16d70ef77860e66698c10a551 | From VFX project management to predictive forecasting | VFX production companies are currently challenged by the increasing complexity of visual effects shots combined with constant schedule demands. The ability to execute in an efficient and cost-effective manner requires extensive coordination between different sites, different departments, and different artists. This coordination demands data-intensive analysis of VFX workflows beyond standard project management practices and existing tools. In this paper, we propose a novel solution centered around a general evaluation data model and APIs that convert production data (job/scene/shot/schedule/task) to business intelligence insights enabling performance analytics and generation of data summarization for process controlling. These analytics provide an impact measuring framework for analyzing performance over time, with the introduction of new production technologies, and across separate jobs. Finally, we show how the historical production data can be used to create predictive analytics for the accurate forecasting of future VFX production process performance. | 2,017 | [

21897e253ddddb695ec6e3d807c3b8f3032b2741 | RESEARCH ON THE FORMATION MECHANISM OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNERS’ CREATIVE DEVIANCE - BASED ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR THEORY | With the improvement of architectural design project management and the standardization of the design process, enterprises have encountered some obstacles on the road to innovation. Among them, the deviant innovation behavior, as an obscure independent innovation behavior, has gradually attracted the attention of scholars. The characteristic of deviant innovation behavior is that, in order to achieve the purpose of innovation, innovators will use various resources to support their innovative ideas. Among them, deviant innovation behavior not only promotes innovation but also brings management and risk challenges to enterprises. Therefore, only by clarifying the causes and conditions of the deviant innovation behavior can we truly manage the deviant innovation and do a good job in the innovation management of enterprises on the basis of reducing operational risks.
Based on the current situation of high education levels and low innovation success rates among architectural designers, this study discusses the environmental factors contributing to deviant innovation behavior and explains its formation mechanism. In general, the contributions of this paper to existing research are as follows: 1) On the basis of the existing literature, this study reviews the relevant concepts and measurement methods of deviant innovation behavior and the influencing factors are discussed. 2) Based on the theory of planning behavior theory, the deviant innovative behavior model is constructed, which reveals the role of behavior attitude, subjective norms, and perceptual behavior control in affecting employee deviant innovative behavior. 3) Previous studies have directly applied the theory of planned behavior to the interpretation and prediction of behavior. This study complements and extends the boundary conditions, puts forward the view that task complexity will regulate the relationship between deviant innovation willingness and deviant innovation behavior, and has verified it. | 2,024 | [

99724003a2ee688f13114d32d7966c321966bc18 | Project Management Decisions with Uncertain Targets | Project management decision rules presume that fixed and inflexible targets have been defined for the project. If a project’s slack is defined as the difference between actual project performance and these targets, then these decision rules can be characterized as maximizing the probability that slack is nonnegative (i.e., maximizing the probability of meeting the targets). These rules rely on z -scores to compare uncertain performance to target levels. Following these decision rules will not always suffice for the project manager to act consistently with customer preferences. In particular, actual requirements may be uncertain or subject to change, and customers may have some flexibility. A decision-analytic approach accounting for these factors can allow the project manager to maximize the customer’s expected utility. We redefine project slack to reflect the difference between performance and a random target that reflects both the customer’s risk tolerance and uncertainty about the actual requirement. The z -score associated with this slack is shown to be proportional to the certainty equivalent for a project. Thus utility-maximizing decision rules in the language of decision analysis can be readily translated into z -score-maximizing decision rules in the language of project management. From this, we discuss how related decision-analytic concepts such as value of information might be applied to families of problems in project management. | 2,015 | [

897fe6a1b3142b4babc2532b0eaf2b8f89417962 | Digital Transformation and Disruptive Technologies: Effect of 3D Printing on Managing Projects | Human beings have always come up with creative and innovative ways of progressing because it helps them enhance their quality of life. Innovations such as the three-dimensional printing technology help society to realize numerous benefits because they can be employed in many different ways. Project managers are tasked with the responsibility of planning, organizing, and directing how tasks will be completed to facilitate the realization of an overall goal. Thus, the effectiveness of the strategies employed by the project managers profoundly influences organizational performance. As a result, project managers must devise strategies that will facilitate their organizations to operate as efficiently as possible. Project managers throughout the world have been encouraging organizations to embrace three-dimensional printing technology. The course of action is informed by the fact that three-dimensional printing technology can facilitate manufacturers to reduce production costs and enhance their adaptability. The contemporary world of commerce is characterized by comparatively high levels of competition. In effect, it has become necessary for commercial entities to come up with mechanisms that boost their effectiveness in adapting to the ever-changing tastes and preferences of their customers. Similarly, project managers need to help their organizations to respond effectively to digital disruptions and digital transformations because failure to do so can adversely affect their future prospects. Project managers need to conduct extensive research as they help their companies to adapt to the various changes that are taking place in the industry, as demonstrated in this study. The research will help them learn about the multiple options at their disposal. Accordingly, they are highly likely to make the most suitable course of action when executing this their duties. The examination of the impact of three-dimensional Printing on project management confirms that the proper application of the technology can boost the effectiveness of project managers and improve organizational performance. | 2,022 | [

a04ad9cb5ae912304cff6b1e762a1d10bab84e67 | Project leader's interactive use of controls, team learning behaviour and IT project performance: the moderating role of process accountability | PurposeThis study aims to understand how project leaders' interactive use of the project management control systems (MCS) impact IT project performance, by examining the mechanisms through which this relationship is enacted.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 109 IT project managers working in Canadian and USA-based organizations. A moderated mediation model was analysed by hierarchical component reflective-formative measurement modelling using PLS-SEM.FindingsResults suggest that the leader's interactive use of project MCS is associated with IT project performance, and this relationship is partially mediated by team learning behaviour. In addition, the relationship between the interactive use of project MCS and team learning behaviour is moderated by the organization's emphasis on process accountability, with the effect being stronger under the conditions of higher emphasis on process accountability.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on the use of controls in the IT project-based business environments by explaining how the project leader's style of use of controls influences project team learning behaviour that in turn impacts project performance. Additionally, this study extends the project governance and accountability literature by identifying and empirically examining how the perceptions of project leader's institutionalized organizational accountability arrangements moderate the impact of the interactive use of control systems on team learning behaviour. A methodological contribution of the study is the scale development to measure leader's perceptions about the organization's emphasis on process accountability. | 2,023 | [

6387fdae5ae80c99bce59dc5ad4a04a937acf5b9 | Algorithmizing the management of project launch risks | В современном мире все большее внимание уделяется вопросам оценки и управления рисками, являющихся неотъемлемыми спутниками процесса глобализации современной цивилизации. На основе анализа и обобщения доступных статистических данных повопросам управления рисками реализации проектов установлено, что менее половины всех существующих организаций практикуют мероприятия, направленные на управление рисками (выявление, мониторинг, разработку и реализацию мер по снижению рисков). В статье рассмотрен частный случай решения задачи управления рисками, состоящей в достижении цели программы при минимальных затратах с учетом ограничений на финансирование проектов с высоким риском либо на их количество. Необходимо отметить, что в существующих документах по регламентации процессов проектного управления вовсе отсутствует методическое обеспечение выявления, оценки и минимизации рисков. Кроме того, в настоящее время отсутствуют эффективные методики сравнительного выявления, анализа взаимосвязей и взаимного влияния величин рисков и механизмов их минимизации при реализации проектов и осуществлении проектного управления. Для учета степени риска реализации проектов предложены две постановки задачи формирования выполняемых задач. В первой задаче определяются одноцелевые проекты для включения в программу, обеспечивающие достижение ее цели при минимальных затратах с учетом ограничений на финансирование проектов с высоким риском либо на их число. Представлены оригинальный алгоритм решения задачи на основе метода ветвей и границ с предложенным способом оценки снизу подмножества решений и приближенный эвристический алгоритм на основе метода «Затраты-эффект». Вторая задача состояла в уменьшении стоимости реализации программы за счет перевода ряда проектов с низким риском на варианты со средним и высоким рисками реализации. Для решения данной задачи применяли метод ветвей и границ с получением оценок решений методом сетевого программирования.
Nowadays, increasing attention is paid to the issues of risk assessment and management, which are strongly associated with the globalization process of modern civilization. Based on the analysis and generalization of available statistical data on project risk management, it was found that less than half of the existing organizations carry out activities aimed at risk management (identification, monitoring, development and implementation of risk mitigation measures). The article considers a special case of solving the problem of risk management which consists in achieving the goal of the program at minimal cost taking into account restrictions on financing high-risk projects or on their number. It should be noted that in the existing documents on the regulation of project management processes, there is no methodological support for identifying, assessing and minimizing risks at all. In addition, there are currently no effective methods of comparative identification, analysis of interrelations and mutual influence of risk values and mechanisms for their minimization in the implementation of projects and project management. To account for the degree of project implementation risk, two objectives of forming the programs being implemented are proposed. The first objective implies identifying single-purpose projects for inclusion in the program that ensures the achievement of its goal at minimal cost with due regard for restrictions on high-risk project funding or their number. An original algorithm for solving the problem based on the branch-and-bound method with the proposed method for estimating a subset of solutions from below and an approximate heuristic algorithm using the “expense-effect” method are presented. The second objective was to reduce the cost of implementing the program by converting a number of low-risk projects to medium- and high-risk options. To solve this problem, the branch-and-bound method to obtain estimates of solutions by the network programming method was employed. | 2,023 | [

9cb0acaaed5f2358cb8abf75c4de27b6bad24c2b | A Multicriteria Approach to Support Task Allocation in Projects of Distributed Software Development | Organizations are increasingly investing in Distributed Software Development (DSD) over the years. A typical decision-making problem in the distributed scenario consists of deciding which team should be allocated each task. That decision takes into account a relative degree of subjectivity. That setting is suitable for applying Verbal Decision Analysis (VDA). This paper introduces an approach to support the allocation of tasks to distributed units in DSD projects, structured on the hybridisation of methods of Verbal Decision Analysis for classification and rank ordering applied to influencing factors and executing units. Firstly, a review of the literature was conducted aiming to identify the approaches to support the allocation of tasks in DSD contexts. Then, an approach was developed by applying VDA-based methods for classification and ordering. Bibliographic research and the application of surveys with professionals allowed identifying and characterising the main elements that influence task assignment in DSD projects. Afterwards, experiences were carried out in five real-world companies. In the end, the proposed approach has been submitted to the evaluation by the professionals of the participating companies and by some project management experts. The proposed approach comprises a workflow containing responsible actors and descriptions of the activities. Automated tools are also employed in automating the implementation of the approach. After applying the approach in five companies, task assignment recommendations are presented in groups for each company, according to the task type, i.e., requirements, architecture, coding, and testing, ranging from the most to the least preferable office. Results of the experiences and evaluations held during this work present evidence that the proposed approach is flexible, adaptable, and easy to understand and to use. Moreover, it helps to reduce decision subjectivity and to think of new aspects, supporting the task allocation process in DSD. | 2,019 | [

bce893d63ae9b37c47af8b6810cafb72069973fd | Optimization of a Cooperative Programming Learning System by Using a Constructivist Approach | This work describes a cooperative programming learning system (CPLS) based on a novel constructivist approach. This system embeds various constructivist elements within functions to support each phase of the information process that allows students to construct programming skills through knowledge, tasks, and assessment domains. The CPLS comprises a discussion forum, programming editing forum, design forum with structure charts, project management, project guidance, performance demonstration, and peer assessment models. Effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated based on an experiment involving 54 undergraduate students in a private university in Taiwan. Learning effectiveness is analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Analytical results indicate that students using this CPLS more frequently could learn programming skills more easily. Efforts are underway to incorporate more pedagogical models in the proposed system, as well as improve the system interface and functions. | 2,010 | [

0a648cd953982823a59782b693322706edcb2ef7 | Unpacking the theory on ambidexterity: An illustrative case on the managerial architectures, mechanisms and dynamics | Research on ambidexterity has been focused primarily at the organisational level. There is little in the literature detailing ambidexterity in more complex forms of organising. While much is written on the ‘what’ of ambidexterity – its enactment has been shown to be beneficial – there is a gap in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms, architectures and dynamics by which organisations can achieve both exploration and exploitation. In this article, we use the lens of intellectual capital to extend current architectural theory. A case study of a project management office in an IT/IS multinational provides the context in which to qualitatively unpack the underpinning intellectual capital architecture, illustrating the interwoven application of human, social and organisational capital in a complicated organisational setting. We reveal the co-existence and mutual interdependence of multiple intellectual capital and process elements, further explaining the ‘how’ of this increasingly important area of study. | 2,013 | [

791e819019b1c0d2f940a8cb9909e17db8416c95 | Quality Versus Quantity: E-Mail-Centric Task Management and Its Relation With Overload | It is widely acknowledged that many professionals suffer from "e-mail overload." This article presents findings from in-depth fieldwork that examined this phenomenon, uncovering six key challenges of task management in e-mail. Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data suggests that it is not simply the quantity but also the collaborative quality of e-mail task and project management that causes this overload. We describe how e-mail becomes especially overwhelming when people use it for tasks that involve participation of others; tasks cannot be completed until a response is obtained and so they are interleaved. Interleaving means that the e-mail user must somehow simultaneously keep track of multiple incomplete tasks, often with the only reminder for each one being an e-mail message somewhere in the inbox or a folder. This and other insights from our fieldwork led us to a new design philosophy for e-mail in which resources for task and project management are embedded directly within an e-mail client as opposed to being added on as separate components of the application. A client, TaskMaster, embodying these ideas, was developed and tested by users in managing their real e-mail over an extended period. The design of the client and results of its evaluation are also reported. | 2,005 | [

17a31d644a2bd772e49a3fafdf208e317a5afb70 | Exploring Cultural Influences on Project Management Approaches in Global Business Development | The aim of the research is to investigate project management approaches which can be applied in culturally diverse teams effectively. The research objectives include the study of culture influences on project management in the organization, identification of project management approaches that are applied in the context of cultural diversity, to outline the most effective project management approaches when multinational projects are initiated, planned, organized, and monitored. Within the framework of our research, we studied a number of scientific sources that revealed the problems of project management approaches in culturally diverse teams and selected about 50 articles in internationally indexed journal that were published during the recent five years to answer the research questions. During the research we used mixed methodology that included qualitative and quantitative methods. The research was conducted in three stages between March and December, 2022 and included 27 experts from 14 different companies that are involved in multicultural projects. The results showed that there are 11 project management approaches in global business development that are applied in the context of cultural diversity and are oriented towards maximize cultural differences within the team. They include cultural awareness assessment, customized communication, cultural liaison, adaptive leadership styles, inclusive decision-making, cross-cultural training, team building, use of feedback, conflict resolution, recognizing cultural differences, implementation of diverse projects. Implementation of these approaches makes project management creative, inclusive and culturally sensitive. Project management in a culturally diverse team is introduced in three grades: elementary, middle, and advanced. The grades constitute competency framework for project managers that are to implement multicultural projects and organize team members who belong to different cultures effectively. The findings can be used for formation of effective culturally diverse teams and management of teams where the members differ in beliefs, behaviours, languages, practices, background, and experiences. | 2,023 | [] | null |

a7d6c96842a86440464e7da4c5fb80fc559fb777 | A Critical Hermeneutics Analysis of SME ERP Implementation Project Management Practices | Numerous Critical Success Factors (CSFs) have been identified in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects. Project Management is one of the few CSFs that appear in both large and small business ERP implementation studies. Few studies further investigate project management processes in ERP implementation project in Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) context. Professional bodies like Project Management Institute (PMI) have developed an extensive list of processes at various stages of projects, however, it is not clear whether all recommended processes apply in an SME ERP implementation project. This warrants further investigations to understand how project management processes and activities in various project management knowledge areas would contribute to ERP implementation success in SMEs. Critical hermeneutics will be used for interpreting the text and making sense of the prevalent contradictory views of various stakeholder groups in SME ERP implementation projects around implementation success, best-fit project management lifecycle approach, and project management practices. | 2,017 | [

636c024765f038c1c1d705981697917ce2ba5061 | Research on quality engineering management effectiveness improvement strategy of universities based on fuzzy clustering maximum tree algorithm | Abstract The “quality project” is an objective need to promote the comprehensive and coordinated development of higher education and cultivate high-quality talents. Based on the fuzzy clustering maximum tree algorithm, this paper first generates the maximum tree for a similar matrix and then clusters the maximum tree to find the clustering results. Then the idea of fuzzy clustering maximum tree algorithm is introduced into the management of “quality engineering” in Heilongjiang province colleges and universities, and the necessity of project management in the management of “quality engineering” in colleges and universities is analyzed, so that the knowledge related to project management can be applied in the construction of “quality engineering” in colleges and universities. “The results show that project quality management has a lot of advantages and disadvantages. The results show that there are problems such as weak awareness of quality management among all staff, unclear construction objectives and quality construction standards, and a lack of effective project monitoring and evaluation mechanism in project quality management. During the experimental period, the groundwater level was 0.4~0.7m below the surface, and the global risk level decreased from 5 to 3 along with the deep excavation of the foundation pit, and the risk probability of the foundation pit project became larger with time and finally stabilized at 60%. The research of this paper is helpful to improve the project management level of “quality engineering” in universities and promote the transformation of “quality engineering” results, which has certain practicality and guidance. | 2,023 | [

792c1fce26d9cf616d55cb70088b52aa6feda93d | Some things never change: how far generative AI can really change software engineering practice | Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has become an emerging technology with the availability of several tools that could impact Software Engineering (SE) activities. As any other disruptive technology, GenAI led to the speculation that its full potential can deeply change SE. However, an overfocus on improving activities for which GenAI is more suitable could negligent other relevant areas of the process. In this paper, we aim to explore which SE activities are not expected to be profoundly changed by GenAI. To achieve this goal, we performed a survey with SE practitioners to identify their expectations regarding GenAI in SE, including impacts, challenges, ethical issues, and aspects they do not expect to change. We compared our results with previous roadmaps proposed in SE literature. Our results show that although practitioners expect an increase in productivity, coding, and process quality, they envision that some aspects will not change, such as the need for human expertise, creativity, and project management. Our results point to SE areas for which GenAI is probably not so useful, and future research could tackle them to improve SE practice. | 2,024 | [

6b0fe3ee01d0662ffd32f0d815d3565325fe6a6f | The Application of Machine Learning Techniques in Software Project Management- An Examination | Planning and evaluating project management are key parts of project performance that should not be overlooked. It is difficult to succeed at project management unless you have a realistic and logical plan in place. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of papers on the application of machine learning in software project management, covering a wide range of topics. Apart from that, this study examines machine learning, software project management, and methodologies. Papers in the first category are the results of software project management studies or surveys. Papers in the third category are based on machine-learning methods and strategies applied to projects; studies on the phases and tests that are the parameters used in machine-learning management; and final classes of study results, contribution of studies to production, and promotion of machine-learning project prediction. Our work also provides a larger perspective and context, which could be useful for future project risk management research, among other things. To summarize, we have demonstrated that project risk assessment using machine learning is more effective in minimizing project losses, increasing the likelihood of project success, providing an alternative method for efficiently reducing project failure probabilities, increasing the output ratio for growth, and facilitating accuracy-based analysis of software fault prediction.

b3ee22af95b288ff6d8b72e17735b8325a112e36 | Improving analogy software effort estimation using fuzzy feature subset selection algorithm | One of the major problems with software project management is the difficulty to predict accurately the required effort for developing software applications. Analogy Software effort estimation appears well suited to model problems of this nature. The analogy approach may be viewed as a systematic development of the expert opinion through experience learning and exposure to analogue case studies. The accuracy of such model depends on characteristics of datasets. This paper examines the impact of feature subset selection algorithms on improving the accuracy of analogy software effort estimation model. We proposed a feature subset selection algorithm based on fuzzy logic for analogy software effort estimation models. Validation using two established datasets (ISBSG, Desharnais) shows that using fuzzy features subset selection algorithm in analogy software effort estimation contribute to significant results as other algorithms: Hill climbing, Forward subset selection, and backward subset selection do. | 2,008 | [

90e839c0ae3338ddb8cf30f6ceefc7131bdf3568 | Management of R&D in OECD Countries: Experience in Results’ Monitoring | The article deals with the issues related to the monitoring of R&D projects supported by the public funds. In accordance with the current legislation, monitoring of scientific, technical and innovation projects is carried out within the framework of the structural elements of state programs. To conduct monitoring, results, control points and objects of scientific and technical activities should be established. At the same time, however, within the framework of the three forms of financial support for the implementation of R&D projects – grant financing, subsidies for the implementation of public assignments, public procurement – different monitoring methods and procedures are applied. Further, the names of the control points are not linked to the results of projects in terms of technology readiness levels (TRL). Finally, information systems that support the monitoring and evaluation of R&D results are not fully compatible with each other. As a result, the overall effectiveness of monitoring decreases, which leads to delays in making managerial decisions and entails wasteful spending of budget funds. In the leading OECD countries, there is a practice of centralized methodological support of the implementation of R&D and innovation, which provides an unified approach to management of such projects and conjugation of state support at all stages of innovation cycle. Successful project management involves application of such specific management tools as the stage gates model and TRL methodology, which provide effective monitoring of results and flexibility in making management decisions, including the possibility of adjusting the basic parameters of projects at different stages of their implementation. The experience of foreign countries shows that in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of monitoring of R&D projects in Russia, it is necessary to ensure the harmonization of general and sectoral legislation governing the monitoring of the results of research, development and innovation projects, which will ensure the formation of a unified approach within the framework of project management of state programs. It is advisable to extend the rules for monitoring the results of R&D adopted in the system of grant financial support to the systems of public assignment and public procurement in this area of activity, creating conditions for the conjugation of various forms of public support. Finally, it is necessary to improve operation of the existing state information resources for the management of scientific, technical and innovation projects. | 2,023 | [

2dc62c669f70fea06319e82eff0bc0b392e825bf | Using Design Briefs to Empirically Replicate and Extend the ‘Designence’ Model of Strategic Design Value | Despite increasing attention from academics and practitioners Design Management lacks a widely-agreed upon empirical measure. This paper proposes a new conceptualization of Design Management based on the view of design as a “managed process” within organizations (Bruce and Bessant, 2002, p. 38). We employ an expert rating procedure of product design briefs and Exploratory Factor Analysis to derive eleven factors of information elements contained within these document that constitute Design Management: F1 Insights into Customers; F2 Business Model; F3 Product Aesthetics; F4 Authenticity; F5 Symbolic/ Experiential Value; F6 Functional Value; F7 Promotions/ Distribution; F8 Sustainability; F9 Production/ Development; F10 Project Management; F11 Risk/ Safety. Further, we clarify the strategic role of Design Management by relating these factors to measures of firm performance at the product project- and competitive advantage-levels. Our findings are rationalized using the Balanced Score Card for Design Management approach, made up of: (1) Customer Perspective; (2) Process perspective; (3) Learning and Innovation perspective; and (4) Financial perspective. Our results confirm the overwhelmingly positive relationship between Design Management and firm performance and highlights the differential effects of individual factors across the two measures. | 2,023 | [

6b68f8ef0ae8782074e5d2cde2013798f2026be3 | Handling categorical variables in effort estimation | Background: Accurate effort estimation is the basis of the software development project management. The linear regression model is one of the widely-used methods for the purpose. A dataset used to build a model often includes categorical variables denoting such as programming languages. Categorical variables are usually handled with two methods: the stratification and dummy variables. Those methods have a positive effect on accuracy but have shortcomings. The other handing method, the interaction and the hierarchical linear model (HLM), might be able to compensate for them. However, the two methods have not been examined in the research area. Aim: giving useful suggestions for handling categorical variables with the stratification, transforming dummy variables, the interaction, or HLM, when building an estimation model. Method: We built estimation models with the four handling methods on ISBSG, NASA, and Desharnais datasets, and compared accuracy of the methods with each other. Results: The most effective method was different for datasets, and the difference was statistically significant on both mean balanced relative error (MBRE) and mean magnitude of relative error (MMRE). The interaction and HLM were effective in a certain case. Conclusions: The stratification and transforming dummy variables should be tried at least, for obtaining an accurate model. In addition, we suggest that the application of the interaction and HLM should be considered when building the estimation model. | 2,012 | [

7d6beff7f6ec49015650319d7078753a2aa7f80e | Integrating Online Informative Videos into Technical Communication Service Courses | Background: Online, informative videos are a popular genre of technical communication but little information is available for instructors to integrate the genre into technical communication courses. Research questions: (1) What are the logistics, considerations, and problems encountered when assigning authentic informative videos in introductory technical writing service courses? (2) Is an authentic informative video project in introductory technical writing service courses an effective learning assignment from the students' perspectives? Situating the case: Video has been discussed in technical communication literature since the 1970s and our discussion of video parallels technology development making video production and viewing possible for mainstream consumers. Recently, a revitalization of interest in video (particularly since 2012) reflects widespread adoption of smart phones with video recording capabilities, preinstalled and relatively simple video production applications on computers, video-sharing websites (YouTube), and high-speed internet connections enabling rapid video downloads by viewers. Yet, low-cost and easy-to-use communication technologies are often associated with the idiosyncratic application of design features and often do not transfer into effective communication. We often claim that technical communication programs are well situated to take a “leadership role” in mastering a new communication technology but our instruction of video has not kept pace with the rapidly evolving technology nor is it necessarily consistent with our own research findings. How this case was studied: In this experience report, I took a teacher-researcher role and triangulated my personal observations with a student-perception questionnaire and other student reflections on the assignment. About the case: The informative video project was used in a junior-level, introductory technical communication service course. The informative video assignment was an experiential learning assignment in which students worked in small teams to develop “real-world” communications for a peer audience. The learning objectives emphasized in the project include genre analysis, audience analysis, scriptwriting, visual-verbal communication, video production and technology, and project management and teamwork. Results: The logistics and considerations for developing informative videos in technical communication courses are discussed and student feedback reveals that this assignment was particularly useful for teaching audience analysis, technology skills, verbal-visual synergy of communication channels, and teamwork. Conclusions: Informative videos are a challenging project but offer a unique opportunity to examine audience analysis and teach verbal-visual parallelism. Furthermore, the equipment and production software are no longer barriers to assigning the project in technical communication courses. | 2,014 | [

431257229997c9237618c5da860339de407bf259 | Project Management As A Sustainability Strategy For the Third Sector in The Northern Region of Brazil | Objective: The objective of this study is to understand the reasons why Third Sector organizations use or not projects as a tool for financial support; what are the sources of funding, as well as to present the importance and feasibility of using Project Management as a Sustainability Strategy to transform challenges or conflicting situations into solutions for organizations active in the North of Brazil.
Theoretical Framework: The theme was subdivided into: Organizational Management, Projects, Sustainability through Projects, Third Sector Organizations and Third Sector in the North of Brazil.
Method: Research of a descriptive nature, with a quantitative qualitative approach; methodological procedures and field research were the pillars that guided the analysis of the collected data. The data collection tool was an electronic questionnaire with objective and subjective questions.
Results and Discussion: The information presents a discrepancy in the Third Sector scenario relevant to the realization or not of projects for sustainability, considering the possibilities of fundraising in the national and international spheres; public and private. Health and Social Assistance raise funds through projects, while Education uses its own resources.
Research Implications: The research provides discussion about raising funds through projects, considering the availability of resources and the gap in acquisition by the Third Sector. In this sense, project management is understood as a strategy for sustainability and transformation.
Originality/Value: Contributes to the motivation for raising resources for sustainability through projects. | 2,025 | [

on the learning experience of these students. While the performance of students is obtained by marking
their quantitative output on the business game or case exercise, their learning experience is measured through
an analysis of the course evaluations filled out by these students. Diversity among the test population is
guaranteed by testing our experiments on a sample of students with a different background, ranging from
university students with or without a strong quantitative background but no practical experience, to MBA
students at business schools and PM professionals participating in a PM training. | 2,015 | [

Researchers had tried to identify objectives, scope …etc. of the methodologies by following different approaches. Each approach has its Limitation, specific interest, coverage …etc. In this paper, we tried to perform a comparative study of those methodologies which are popular and commonly used in banking and commercial environment. We tried in our study to determine objectives, scope, tools and other features of the methodologies. We also, tried to determine how and to what extent the methodologies incorporate the facilities such as project management, cost benefit analysis, documentation …etc. One of the most important aspects of our study was how to integrate the methodologies and develop a global methodology which covers the complete span of the software development life cycle? A prototype system which integrates the selected methodologies has been developed. The developed system helps analysts and designers how to choose suitable tools or to obtain guidelines on what to do in a particular situation. The prototype system has been tested during the development of a software for an ATM “Auto Teller Machine” by selecting and applying SASD methodology during software development.

09bfc1d3bf1c3d03699dca11c1f54c367bbb35cc | Business benefits from the implementation of ERP systems especially in Navision | The business market nowadays is becoming increasingly dynamic day by day. From the smallest business up to the biggest one, each one needs to implement the system of automation. That’s why ERP Systems are for. ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning and is a software user by organization to manage daily business activities such as: accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations. Starting from the ancient ERP systems (MRP – Material Requirements Planning) and the latest version of Business Central, this technology is developing so quickly. Too much information is coming around and this study is focused on the relationship Customer – Vendor. A treatment on how we can deal with different use cases with debtor customers so we can go far away to aim what we want from our business. The purpose of the study is to analyze how Customer Experience processes can develop for being managed by automating certain processes in Dynamics Navision. What can we develop besides our analysis, to reduce the company’s debt as much as possible? Throughout the study the literature review methodology is used by analytical research about the topic, analyzing the new tendencies, their impact on the business and summarizing academic research. Also, descriptive use cases in applied to analyze the use and impact of Debtor Customer Experience in daily economic activity in these companies. The study concludes that Customer Experience, although it is customer centric, is aligned directly with business’ incomings and it is very important to improve debt management. | 2,023 | [

6cd46e22de46a68d57a017f63ec905df8976df74 | A triangular perception of scope creep influencing the project success | Project management strategies are a part of every organisation as developing high quality customer satisfied software is always one of the challenges for any software organisation. Though the scope creep is known to be one of the factors which influence project success, existing project management strategies do not effectively measure or predict the scope creep. This paper focuses on effective scope creep management which is achievable through a comprehensive analysis of the scope creep and its impact on project success. The paper further presents a case study conducted in one of the leading software companies to investigate the significance and impact of scope creep in the project success. An investigation was carried out on several empirical projects and a three-dimensional visualisation of scope creep on success of project was brought out. This trio visualisation comprises of historical data perspective which leads to visualise the inferences in a pictorial representation perspective. Facts, thus, gained from historical and pictorial data perspectives lead one towards visualisation of scope creep and its management using a mathematical modelling perspective. This mode of visualising the scope creep and its implications on project success ensures one to effectively modulate their strategies in order to develop software products which attain total customer satisfaction. | 2,018 | [

Insbesondere das Software-Projektmanagement und dessen Unterstützung durch Werkzeuge sind Gegenstand der Untersuchung.

Especially project management and its tool support are being focused in the course of this project. 1. Einleitung Eine ausreichende Qualität von Softwareprodukten und -prozessen in der Praxis zu gewährleisten, ist oftmals immer noch eine Herausforderung, obwohl zahlreiche Verfahren, Techniken, Normen und Werkzeuge für das Software-Engineering zur Verfügung stehen. Offenbar gelingt es nur bedingt, alle Aspekte eines IT-Vorhabens adäquat zu planen und diese Planung dann umzusetzen sowie derart zu steuern, dass die ursprünglich anvisierten Kosten, zeitlichen Vorgaben und Qualitätsanforderungen eingehalten werden. Die Ursachen für die Probleme sind hinlänglich bekannt, z.B. mangelhafte Anforderungsanalyse, unzureichendes Prozessmanagement, fehlende Methoden, unzureichende Werkzeuge etc (vgl [Sta 01], Abbildung 1, Abbildung 2). Besonders kleinen und mittelständischen Software-Unternehmen mit ihren Branchenspezifika sind personell und finanziell enge Grenzen gesetzt, wenn es um die Einführung von Innovationen geht. So gibt es beispielsweise im Automotive-Bereich bei Software-Systemen nicht nur erhöhte Sicherheitsanforderungen, sondern auch Vorgaben für das Prozessmanagement und die Prozessbewertung. Auch beim Einsatz der Tools gibt es KMU-spezifische Probleme. So können sich die Unternehmen nur selten hochintegrierte Produkte leisten oder es kommen kleinere, kostengünstigere (teilweise Open Source) Alternativen zum Einsatz deren Zusammenspiel nicht oder nur unzureichend möglich ist. Nach [Sta 01] wird deutlich dass vor allem ein strukturiertes und professionelles Projektmanagement der wichtigste Faktor für ein erfolgreiches Projekt ist. Es existieren verschiedene Prozessmodelle für die Software-Entwicklung die sich dieser Problematik annehmen. Durch eine vorgegebene Struktur und klar geregelte Abläufe soll die Software-Qualität dadurch deutlich erhöht werden. Im Folgenden soll zunächst ein kurzer Überblick der Prozessmodelle gegeben werden. Anschließend wird aufgezeigt welche Abbildung 2 Nach [Sta 01] werden nur 28% aller Software-Projekte erfolgreiche abgeschlossen. Der Rest scheitert oder wird mit erheblichen Mängeln abgeschlossen. Projekten [Sta 01]. Implikationen diese Modelle für das Projektmanagement haben, besonders das KMU-Umfeld gilt es dabei zu berücksichtigen und wie diese in dem Forschungsprojekt untersucht wurden. 2. Prozessmodelle für die Software-Entwicklung Es existieren zahlreiche Prozessmodelle für die Software-Entwicklung, die Vorgaben bzgl. der Struktur sowie Inhalte der konkreten Prozesse eines Software-Projektes machen. Dabei lassen sich die zwei Kategorien Vorgehensmodelle und Assessment-Modelle unterscheiden: 2.1 Vorgehensmodelle Vorgehensmodelle der Software-Entwicklung machen Vorgaben für Aktivitäten, Rollen, Dokumente und Meilensteine eines Software-Projekts. Diese Prozesse sind i.d.R. allgemeine Vorgaben und müssen für ein konkretes Projekt angepasst werden [Pet 05b]. Die verschiedenen Vorgehensmodelle unterscheiden sich z.T. erheblich in Umfang und Schwerpunkt. So bildet das V-Modell XT1 ein generisches Vorgehensmodell das die komplette Software-Entwicklung und -Management abdeckt, wogegen sich der IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) auf die konkrete Entwicklung konzentriert. Weitere Beispiele sind der Object Engineering Process (OEP)3, Extreme Programming (XP)4, IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)5. 2.2 Assessment-Modelle Assessment-Modelle dienen der Bewertung des Reifegrades der Prozesse der Software-Entwicklung oder einer Organisation. Dabei werden die Prozesse untersucht und entsprechend eines zuvor festgelegten Schemas bewertet. Die Assessment-Modelle geben somit implizit Prozesse vor welche zum Erreichen eines bestimmten Reifegrads erfüllt werden müssen. Beispiele sind CMMI6, ISO 155047 [Pet 07]. 3. Integration von Vorgehensmodellen Bei allen Prozessmodellen (d.h. sowohl Vorgehensmodelle als auch Assessment-Modelle) müssen die Prozesse an die konkrete Projektund/oder Unternehmenssituation angepasst werden. Dieser Vorgang wird i.d.R. als Tailoring bezeichnet und bedeutet das Auswählen von erforderlichen Prozessbausteinen. Dieses Anpassen der Prozesse liefert jedoch noch keine praxistauglichen Prozesse, vielmehr müssen diese weiter für ein konkretes Projekt angepasst werden. Bspw. machen die Vorgehensmodelle keine Aussage über das Wie, d.h. mit welchen Methoden die unterschiedlichen Aktivitäten umgesetzt werden sollen. Diese konkreten Projektplanungen werden werkzeugbasiert durchgeführt, d.h. mit einem Projektmanagement-Werkzeug. Genau an dieser Stelle entsteht die Notwendigkeit des Aufbaus einer Tool-Kette, d.h. die Verbindung der unterschiedlichen Werkzeuge zum Tailoring und zur Projektplanung. Dieses Forschungsprojekt widmet sich dieser Problematik und untersucht, wie unterschiedliche Tools integriert werden können. Der Fokus richtet sich dabei auf KMU, da sich diese oft keine teuren, hochintegrierten Werkzeuge leisten können oder wollen, sondern vielmehr mit unterschiedlichen Individuallösungen arbeiten müssen. 4. Forschungsprojekt 4.1 Überblick Das Ziel des Forschungsprojekts Projektund Qualitätsmanagement für die Software-Entwicklung sind die verbesserte Integration von Prozessmodellen und Werkzeugen, speziell im Umfeld von KMU. Dabei sollen nicht nur Werkzeuge für das Tailoring und Projektmanagement betrachtet werden, sondern auch Werkzeuge für das Qualitätsmanagement (Test-Werkzeuge) oder die Entwicklung (Entwicklungsumgebungen, Anforderungsmanagement, Änderungsmanagement). Als Lösungsansatz hierfür steht die Process Integration & Tailoring Plattform 4.1 Process Tailoring & Integration Plattform Die Plattform unterstützt die folgenden Funktionalitäten (vgl. Abbildung 3): – Integration von Vorgehensmodellen und Tailoring-Werkzeugen: Die Plattform erwartet als Eingabe einen Projektplan in dem die notwendigen Aktivitäten, Rollen und Dokumente benannt sind und in in eine zeitliche Reihenfolge gebracht sind. 1 V-Modell ist durch die Bundesrepublik Deutschland urheberrechtlich geschützt, vgl. [Bund 06] 2 IBM, RUP und Rational Unified Process sind eingetragene Warenzeichen von IBM, vgl. [IBM 06] 3 Der OEP ist ein Produkt der oose.de Dienstleistungen für Informatik GmbH, vgl. [OOSE 06] 4 Vgl. [Bec 00] 5 Vgl. [ITIL 06] 6 CMMI ist ein eingetragenes Warenzeichen der Carnegie Mellon University, USA, vgl. [CMMI 06] 7 Vgl. [ISO 03] – Integration von projektspezifischen Werkzeugen: Das projektspezifische Tailoring der Prozesse geschieht zentral mittels der Plattform. Informationen zu Mitarbeitern, Methoden, etc. sind hier hinterlegt. Diese Informationen können mit den beteiligten Werkzeugen synchronisiert werden, so dass z.B. die Mitarbeiterdaten aus dem PM-Werkzeug kommen und die Methoden-Informationen aus dem Test-Werkzeug. – Die Kommunikation der Plattform mit den integrierten Werkzeugen ist bidirektional, d.h. dass Änderungen im Werkzeug, bzw. der Plattform miteinander synchronisiert werden. 4.2 Aufgaben der TFH In dem Forschungsprojekt wurden zunächst die unterschiedlichen Vorgehensund Assessment-Modelle untersucht und ein gemeinsames Metamodell entwickelt, als Basis diente dazu zunächst das dem VModell XT. Im nächsten Schritt wurden wurden die unterschiedlichen Werkzeuge untersucht, hierbei lag der Schwerpunkt auf der Projektmanagement-Software Projektron BCS. Diese Ergebnisse flossen in die Konzeption der Process Integration & Tailoring Plattform ein, auf deren Basis ein erster Prototyp entstand. Neben der fachlichen Konzeption wurden die Ergebnisse laufend in veröffentlicht. 4.3 Aufgaben der Kooperationspartner Um ihre Werkzeuge in die Plattform integrieren zu können, mussten die Kooperationspartner die entsprechenden Schnittstellen zu ihren System erstellen, bzw. offenlegen. Ein einheitliches Austauschformat sorgt dafür, dass die Daten (z.B. Mitarbeiterinformationen) zwischen dem Werkzeug und der Plattform in beide Richtungen ausgetauscht werden können. | 2,005 | [

b85bbff7a7f65f6fe76273aae624cd788c4143bc | Business Process Elicitation, Modeling, and Reengineering: Teaching and Learning with Simulated Environments | 1. INTRODUCTION Enterprise information systems are a class of information systems used to integrate business processes and data across the various departments within an organization and with its external organizations such as suppliers and customers (McGauhey and Gunasekaran 2007). Contrary to functional silo systems that cater to activities (e.g., payroll) within specific departments (e.g., accounting), enterprise information systems enable business processes (e.g., order fulfillment) that cut across various departments (e.g., sales, warehouse, production, and accounting) such that the focus is on the end-to-end business process. Enterprise systems packages such as SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft comprise several modules such as human resources, financials, human resources, productions management, and project management (Strong et al. 2006) as opposed to functional silo systems that may be developed or sourced according to specifications. The philosophy of enterprise information systems imposes certain approaches to the design of enterprise information systems. First, the emphasis of enterprise systems is on business processes, which are essentially "horizontal" activities spanning multiple departments within organizations such that multiple stakeholders lay claim to those activities (Barua, Ravindran, and Whinston 2007). Students need to develop skills for tracing business processes across various departments and stakeholders within organizations rather than focus on activities within specific departments. Second, enterprise systems are used to integrate and standardize business processes and data within organizations that hitherto were organized as silos with little cross-functional synergies and typically familiar to only the relevant stakeholders (Fupl et al. 2007). Students need to learn how to elicit knowledge of activities and data from multiple stakeholders contributing to any business process to truly understand the entire scope of business processes. Finally, the implementation of enterprise systems often involves changes to existing business processes within organizations to accommodate the native processes built into enterprise systems packages (Shang and Seddon 2007). Students should develop appropriate skills to elucidate and map the roles, responsibilities, and activities within existing business processes, identify information-related and process-related problems underlying the existing business processes, and reengineer the existing business processes by excluding, including, or synthesizing roles, responsibilities, and activities. To successfully design enterprise information systems then, students would need to master a unique set of technical and soft skills (e.g., Davis and Woodward 2006). * Technical skills include the ability to recognize and trace business processes that are horizontally embedded and across departments within organizations, identify activities and data isolated within different departments and determine how they are related to business processes, document and map the "as is" (i.e., current or existing) business processes, determine the information- and process- related problems underlying the existing business processes, reengineer existing business processes such that the information- and process-related problems are addressed, and design an integrated and centralized data model that can support the "to be" (i.e., new or reengineered) business processes. * Soft skills may be viewed as the communication and interpersonal skills required to elicit the activities performed by different stakeholders in support of the business process, verify the process models with stakeholders, and determine any problems with the process experienced by stakeholders--all of which need to be accomplished through dialogue with stakeholders through mechanisms such as interviews, presentations, panels, focus groups, and observation. The challenge for teachers is to set up learning modules that will allow students to develop and hone their technical and soft skills to tackle the "open-ended" problems related to enterprise information systems design. … | 2,010 | [

59dd81d1ff5bec3dd387f1ba6cd716d7669f466a | Future Translators’ Linguistic and Non-linguistic Competencies and Skills in The Age of Neural Machine Translation and Artificial Intelligence: A Content Analysis | Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are disrupting the way millions of people work. According to the Future of Jobs Report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF 2022), the Fourth Industrial Revolution will result in the disappearance of more than 75 million jobs by 2025. While this is considered bad news to many, the report also predicts the creation of 133 million jobs for the same reason. Among the at-risk jobs are translation and language services jobs which have witnessed a sharp drop in demand due to the adoption of AI and ML technologies in machine translation systems making them capable of producing translations that match the translations produced by expert human translators. Using content analysis method of online translation job advertisements in Saudi Arabia, this study sheds light on the current in-demand translator linguistic and non-linguistic competences and skills from the perspective of employers and matches those with the well-established translator competence models in literature. Through a content analysis of 213 online job advertisements, the study identifies five key competency domains: Language and Culture, Personal and Interpersonal, Service Provision, Technology, and Translation Knowledge. While language proficiency remains crucial, there is a growing emphasis on "soft skills," project management, technological adaptability, and ethical practice. The findings reveal a partial alignment with existing competency models but also highlight potential gaps, particularly regarding strategic planning and document analysis skills. The study underscores the need for translator education to adapt to the evolving demands of the industry, integrating traditional skills with emerging technologies and fostering a culture of lifelong learning. By bridging the gap between academic training and industry expectations, we can better equip future translators to navigate the complexities of the profession and thrive in the age of Neural Machine Translation and AI. | 2,024 | [

4b8fcfc4fa6e26824f342ad5a5913e45bc7051d4 | Improving risk identification process in project management | Nowadays there are many information systems which aim the decision-making, automating the processes of project management. However, many times these systems limit the specific functions related to risk management processes and do not allow the control and effective treatment of uncertain events that may affect the project goals. Thus, this paper proposes the integrated use of the Delphi Technique and Risk Breakdown Structure – RBS in order to contribute to the identification of risks, considering the opportunities and threats in a project, to enhance the beneficial effects of the opportunities and avoid the harmful effects of threats. For the evaluation of the results, it was performed the improvement of a system called System to Aid Project Managing – SAPM, in order to support the automated execution of risk management with an emphasis on risk identification process, since this is a crucial stage for risk management in projects. As a result of this work, it is observed that the combined use of the Delphi Technique and RBS allows the risk identification process can be performed fast and safely through the anonymity of those involved and global visualization of the project. | 2,016 | [

c147a115e38e2ead0aea522cb1431dbf2f15dff3 | A model to integrate software project management with organizational workflows | Software projects are very dynamic and are often full of uncertainties and problems that may cause schedule delays, cost increases or unsatisfactory product delivery. To perform these adjustments on the project plans, managers must deal with a set of aspects: the technological resources that will be affected, human resources allocation and other design elements. Yet, during the planning and execution of a software project, the integration of specific activities in the project with the activities that take part in the organization's common activity flow should be considered. In this sense, this article presents the results of an experimental study related to the integration of project management with organizational flows.

e824afa47fe4dcf4ede4697fa6a55f5148b3fad0 | Optimising project outcomes in complex environments: empirical insights on agile practices and stakeholder dynamics | PurposeThis study delves into the dynamics between Agile Response to Change (AR), Adaptive Scoping (AS), Stakeholder Engagement (SE) and Project Performance (PP), with a special focus on the moderating influence of Project Complexity (PC). The research, grounded in a thorough literature review, identifies critical gaps in these areas and examines the extent to which PC moderates the effects of AR, AS and SE on PP, offering new perspectives for managing complex projects.Design/methodology/approachThe research develops a conceptual model based on a critical analysis of existing literature. A comprehensive questionnaire was designed, incorporating 28 items to measure AR, AS, SE, PP and PC. Data was collected from 136 project managers across various industries, and the responses were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to explore the complex interplay between these variables.FindingsThe analysis revealed that internal AR (ARint) significantly enhances both quantitative (PPqt) and qualitative aspects of PP (PPql). AS and SE were found to positively influence PPql, but their impact on PPqt was not significant. Interestingly, PC was observed to negatively moderate the relationship between ARint and PPql, while its moderating effect on the relationship between ARint and PPql was not significant. The study also notes that PC does not significantly alter the positive correlations between AS, SE and PPql.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by elucidating the relationships between ARint, AS, SE and different dimensions of PP. It uniquely explores the role of PC as a moderating variable in these relationships, offering valuable insights for practitioners and researchers in the field of complex project management. | 2,024 | [

We distinguish the complexity of project domains from two dimensions, the degree of structural complexity and the degree of dynamic complexity, resulting in four generic project types. Four generic project management strategies are identified that match these project types. This complexity framework for project management allows key players to determine a better project management strategy and related practices given its content, the internal context, and the external environment. | 2,023 | [

In the context of the rapid development of science and technology, traditional methods are no longer effective, which requires more intelligent and adaptive solutions for information management and processing. The article explores and analyzes multi-agent systems (MAS), their role and importance in the field of innovation. Objective: systematization of technological solutions used in the development of multi-agent systems in innovation activities, as well as assessment of their impact on the effectiveness of innovation processes. Result and novelty: an analysis of architectural and algorithmic approaches to MAC development was carried out, modern software and hardware solutions, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud platforms, were studied. Innovative aspects in the integration of MAC with physical devices are highlighted, which expands their functionality. Practical significance: the considered technological solutions support the practical application of MAC in various fields: from project management to optimization of research processes. The implementation of the IAU contributes to improved coordination and allocation of resources, which is especially important in conditions of high dynamics and uncertainty of the innovation environment. Discussion: It is emphasized that MAC development faces the challenges of complex architecture and computational costs. The importance of choosing a suitable development platform (for example, JADE, SPADE, NetLogo) is highlighted, depending on the needs of the project. The role of cloud technologies and IoT in the future development of multi-agent systems is emphasized. | 2,024 | [

d47cddcafce899f7898ce2c6fc7f359ca5f5be9e | Modelling Conflict within the Social Networks of Large Multi-Vendor Software Projects using Communicating Stream X-Machines | There continue to be failures in the management of large IT projects, with anecdotal evidence from the media suggesting that most large public sector projects are not delivered to budget or on time. The fact that we continue to incur failures in managing large IT implementations should come as no surprise however, as they contain a number of areas of risk, ranging from the detailed technical requirements, to the overly ambitious timescales, and the need for large numbers of individual commercial organisations to seamlessly work together in a symbiotic manner. Indeed, some of the larger IT implementations consist of hundreds of customer and third-party team members, who are organised into multiple project teams, and may be located across different geographies and time zones. With this in mind, it has recently been argued that the increasing size and complexity of these IT projects, leads them to exhibit the behaviours and traits of complex systems (Curlee and Gordon, 2011). Furthermore, with communication and trust issues being cited as the most important aspects of project success (PMI, 2008), it can be hypothesised that an important reason for failure may be the complexity that arises from social interactions within project environments (Hekkala and Urquhart, 2013). As such, we believe that an important reason for project failure may be the emergent behaviours that arise through the social networks within distributed, multiparty project environments; in particular around the areas of communication, commitment, trust, and the resulting conflict that emerges when/if trust breaks down. Conflict in this instance, is broadly defined as an awareness of incompatibilities or perceptions between individuals or groups, which is based on either discrepant views, incompatible wishes or interpersonal relationship is- sues (Jehn and Mannix, 2001). Within this study, we have performed semi-structured interviews with project managers involved in large multi–vendor software implementations. This qualitative data has been analysed and transformed into a domain model, which has subsequently been used as the basis for an agent– based model using the concept of communicating stream X–Machines (Balanescu et al., 1999). Through in silico experimentation, we are beginning to investigate the propagation of conflict through the social networks in multi-vendor software implementations. In particular, we are investigating the roles that intragroup conflict (between project team members) and intergroup conflict (between different project teams) play in the successful completion of large software implementation projects, involving multiple vendors distributed over multiple geographies and time zones. Our intention is to generate strategies to harness the complexity inherent to large IT projects, and communicate these back to the project management and IT consulting communities so that they may maximise the probability of project success. | 2,015 | [

a8b871f1949793a47ae15c11b9ad189c8858b20a | IMPACT OF HARD PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND TEAM MOTIVATION FOR PROJECT PERFORMANCE | This study focused on the impact of Hard Project Management Practices (HPMPs) and Team Motivation (TM) for successful Project Performance (PP). Further, it examines how TM mediates the link between HPMPs and PP. A qualitative data collection section sought to find challenges faced by the construction industry in Sri Lanka while exploring the association of HPMPs and PP further. Both public and private sector 131 construction projects were selected as the sample by way of the convenience sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the managerial capacity officers. Accordingly, this research found that there is a slight impact of HPMPs on PP. But when it combines with TM the PP is boosted significantly. The mediator analysis proved that even though the construction projects have sound HPMPs, those will impair project performance if they would not consider team motivation properly. And, there are many other variables outside this model that are discussed under qualitative analysis, especially the factors/challenges which are unforeseen in the external environment. | 2,023 | [

Among the company's 21 priority projects, three projects have been identified as experiencing delays in the planning phase related to the delivery of business requirements. The measurement of IT governance capability was conducted using the process rating of COBIT 2019. The selected process objectives were APO02, APO03, and APO05. The results of the capability level measurement indicate that APO02, APO03, and APO05 have reached level 2. Based on the measurement results, findings have been identified that require improvement, especially in APO03, such as providing understanding to key stakeholders about enterprise architecture and enterprise architecture design. As a recommendation for improvement, it is expected that the company can engage in Enterprise Architecture design to align strategic program priorities with architectural objectives. | 2,023 | [

However, poor software quality reduces customer satisfaction, while high-quality software can reduce repairs and rework by more than 50 percent. Software development is now seen as a collaborative and technology-dependent activity performed by a group of people. For all these reasons, choosing correctly software development members teams can be decisive. Considering this motivation, classifying participants in different profiles can be useful during project management team’s formation and tasks distribution. This paper presents a developer modeling approach based on software quality metrics. Quality metrics are dynamically collected. Those metrics compose the developer model.

bd17511061a2a24421ff7c606bae9dace1f584d6 | Adoption challenges of sensing technologies in construction project management in sub-Saharan African countries | PurposeThe use of technology has increased in the industrial sector over the years. This has propelled the construction industry to follow suit by enhancing construction technology to experience the associated benefits. However, technology adoption in the construction environment has not been smoothly implemented. This article aimed to determine the obstacles to adopting sensing technology in managing construction projects in three major sub-Saharan African nations.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a quantitative approach using structured questionnaires. The questionnaire link was sent to construction professionals in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, of which 120 were responded. Data received were analysed using the Statistical Package for Special Science (SPSS) to generate mean scores and the Kruskal–Wallis test and component analysis.FindingsThe results show that construction professionals face herculean tasks when adopting sensing technology in construction project management. Some prominent challenges are initial cost, lack of proper information technology (IT) infrastructure, power supply, lack of well-trained staff, maintenance cost, operating cost, cost of training, technology immaturity and resistance to change. The results also revealed that adoption challenges differ in these three countries, which may be attributable to the economic development level.Practical implicationsDespite the importance of sensing devices in construction industries, the study has revealed that Sub-Saharan African countries face enormous challenges in adopting them in project management and execution. This situation may hinder the industry’s ability to benefit from this technology in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and safety management, which may ultimately affect their cash flows.Originality/valueThe study provides a valuable understanding of the challenges encountered in implementing sensing technology in the construction sector in major countries within sub-Saharan Africa. These findings will enable the countries examined and other African countries to become cognizant of the challenges and implement strategies to overcome them, thereby enhancing performance in the construction industry. | 2,024 | [

6904a9a68e91459c638042520c0315b1ef5da0d3 | Transformational Leadership and Project Success: The Moderating Effect of Top Management Support | Great attention has been paid to the projects’ success, which is the core of project management. It is not surprising that much research is being done in this area, as several factors contribute to the project’s success. However, the moderating effect of top management support (TMS) on the relationship between transformational leadership (TL) and project success (PS) has not been investigated before. This study aims to examine whether the relationship between a project manager’s transformational leadership and project success is moderated by top management support. This study uses a post-positivism philosophical objective to investigate the theoretical model. A cross-sectional time-lagged survey design was used to collect quantitative data. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire from 273 team members, project managers, and stakeholders working in Pakistan’s public sector. The factor and hierarchical regression analysis were used for analysis. Our results showed that TL and TMS significantly impacted project success. Moreover, we found that TMS moderates the relationship between TL and PS. | 2,023 | [

8ec72323a6e09f9ab8d6421367bcbb4d0282b899 | The Ultranet: an eGovernment Project Management Failure? | The Education Ministry in the Australian State of Victoria undertook a major project: building the Ultranet, between 2005 and its release in August 2010. The possibilities offered by the Ultranet were considerable, but up take by schools was not. The Ultranet is not yet dead, but it is certainly not in a good state of health. An analysis of communications shows that user needs were not assessed adequately, and that the poor handling of the system-wide launch was sufficient to disenchant even those who had expressed initial support. This eGovernment project is studied as an example of project failure, particularly in regard to its human aspects. The existence of small pockets of dedicated users points to the possibility of resurrection of those parts of the business case where the users continue to value the feature. Suggestions are made for a possible means of project recovery that would address the problems in this case, and a framework is proposed for anticipating other e-Government project failure points. | 2,013 | [

It is conjectured that the association between maturity and performance of the respective firms is moderated by project attributes – i.e. criticality, and emergent complexity. A cross-sectional survey is carried out with targeted respondents of senior management and project practitioners of ICT firms which implement agile approaches at varying maturity levels. Around 34% of response rate is achieved for 355 invitations with a final sample size of 59. The result suggests that the association between agile maturity and performance is positively moderated by project emergent complexity. Project criticality is not found to be a moderating variable. | 2,018 | [

8d2dc245edb0fee7436aa7aa8e0cb0df7681ee03 | Emerging trends: Dialogues between environmental sustainability in the management of social innovation projects for a sustainable future |
The management of social innovation projects and their relationship with sustainable development is a growing interest in the academic and professional spheres. This paper analyzes emerging trends at the intersection of environmental sustainability and social innovation project management. It sought to identify meaningful dialogues that contribute to the design and implementation of projects that promote a sustainable future. A qualitative approach was adopted using two complementary methods to address this objective. First, bibliometric search equations focused on the analytical categories of social innovation and environmental sustainability. Second, a documentary review was carried out using matrices, which made it possible to identify divergences and convergences between the different authors in this field. The results of this study underscore that incorporating environmental sustainability into the management of social innovation projects is desirable and essential to address contemporary social problems effectively. By adopting sustainable practices, fostering environmental awareness, and seeking solutions that respect environmental limits, social innovation projects can play a crucial role in creating a more sustainable and equitable future.

7a1dfbc55462c06112af82b4fef349ee84a83537 | ОЦЕНКА АДАПТИВНОСТИ МЕДИЦИНСКОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ — ПОКАЗАТЕЛЬ ОРГАНИЗАЦИОННОЙ ЗРЕЛОСТИ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ПРОЕКТАМИ В СФЕРЕ ЗДРАВООХРАНЕНИЯ | Период вынужденной адаптации, вызванный пандемией COVID-19, свидетельствует о необходимости продолжать следовать достигнутым показателям для реализации национальных целей развития Российской Федерации, определенных до 2030 года. Анализ проявившихся тенденций, возможно, позволит закрепить успехи и найти инструменты, которые помогут сделать отрасль здравоохранения доступной, повысят качество предоставляемых пациентам медицинских услуг. Адаптация к новым вызовам, с которыми приходится сталкиваться в современных условиях, и потребность находить новые, часто нестандартные, управленческие решения инициирует необходимость разработок новых инструментов реализации национальных проектов. При этом следует отметить важную взаимозависимость между способностью адаптивности и показателем организационной зрелости управления проектами медицинской организации, которые являются ключевыми элементами функционирования самоорганизующейся системы. Целью исследовательского вопроса стал анализ оценок возможных вариантов адаптивности медицинских организаций (активной и пассивной), реализующих федеральные и региональные проекты в сфере здравоохранения, во взаимосвязи с уровнем организационной зрелости и устойчивости развития отрасли. В практических целях применение оценок адаптации медицинских организаций позволит определить способность системы функционировать стабильно, поддерживать возможные изменения, адекватные внешней среде. Соотнося результаты оценок организации проектных процессовс описанием модели зрелости, медицинская организация получает представление о своих сильных, слабых сторонах, определяет приоритеты для саморазвития, а значит, готовность ктекущей адаптивности. Изложенное свидетельствует, что достижение целей с соблюдением основных принципов стратегического планирования, установленных национальными проектами в отрасли здравоохранения, зависит от способности медицинской организации активно адаптироваться к новым требованиям в текущих условиях внешней и внутренней среды проекта, конкуренции. Приспособление и адаптация свидетельствуют о гибкости и быстрой реакции, о наличии необходимых резервов в системе здравоохранения, в конечном итоге об уровне организационной зрелости управления проектами медицинской организации.
The period of forced adaptation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic indicates the need to accomplish the achieved results in order to realize the national development goals of the Russian Federation, defined until 2030. An analysis of emerging trends leads to secure these gains and find tools that will help make healthcare system available and improve the quality of medical services provided to patients. Adapting to modern challenges as a concept is used in many areas and branches of human activity as well as in healthcare to be successful in realization of national projects. At the same time, it is necessary to note the important interdependence between the ability to adaptability and the indicator of organizational effectiveness of project management of a medical organization, which are key elements of the functioning of a self-organizing system. The purpose of the research study was to analyze assessments of possible options for the adaptability of medical organizations (active and passive) implementing federal and regional projects in the field healthcare, in relation to the level of organizational maturity and sustainable development of the industry. For practical purposes, the use of adaptation assessments of medical organizations make it possible to determine the ability of the system to function stably and support possible changes in the outer environment. By correlating the results of assessments of the organization of project processes with the description of the effective experience model, a medical organization gets an idea of its pro and cons, determines major trends of its self-development, and therefore of its vital activity and on-going adaptability. Mentioned above indicates that achieving goals in compliance with the basic principles of strategic planning established by national projects in the healthcare industry depends on the ability of a medical organization to actively adapt to modern challenges in the internal and external framework of both — the project and competition. Accommodation and adaptation indicates flexibility and quick response, the presence of the necessary reserves in the healthcare system, and ultimately the adequate level of organizational maturity of project management of a medical organization. | 2,024 | [

a6160137081de64322aaffd709842fcbbe1e2de3 | Effects of Project Implementation Practices on Project Performance in Tanzania: The Case of Mnazi Bay Gas | Purpose: The successful achievement of any project means that several of its perceived factors were attained. The success of projects depends on how the risks are mitigated and the way it is managed and controlled. This study examined project implementation management practices and their effects on the Mnazi Bay Gas Project Performance. Towards analysing the data, the study used the Resource Based Theory, Theory of Constraints, Management Theory, and Stakeholder Theory.
Methodology: The study employed a descriptive approach and utilized primary and secondary research methods. The sample size for the study was 100 respondents which included residents around the project, local government leaders, political leaders as well as managers and officials managing the project. Out of 100 only 84 respondents were reached. This study employed simple random sampling and purposive sampling to recruit study sample. The quantitative data were collected through questionnaires and the collected data were analysed using descriptive analysis and presented through descriptive statistics.
Findings: The study reveals a positive relationship between the successful implementation of the Mnazi Bay Gas project and its overall performance, notwithstanding the challenges associated with community involvement. The research significantly advances our understanding of how project management methods influence the project's success. furthermore, the study highlights the project's strengths, including effective implementation, skilled personnel, and clear communication channels, but also identifies weaknesses, particularly in community engagement. Moreover, the study underscores the impact of various management and implementation challenges, such as difficulties in community involvement, regulatory compliance, and environmental assessments, on the project's performance and ultimate success.
Conclusion: The study leverages Resource-Based Theory to underscore the efficient utilization of available resources, demonstrating its impact on Mnazi Bay Gas project performance. It utilizes the Theory of Constraints to pinpoint and tackle critical bottlenecks within this resource-intensive project. Management Theory offers a comprehensive view of project management practices and evaluates diverse managerial approaches. Lastly, Stakeholder Theory provides a thorough analysis of stakeholder interests and involvement, shedding light on the intricate dynamics within Mnazi Bay Gas involving local and international stakeholders. This integration of theories enhances the study's analytical framework, enabling a multifaceted evaluation of project implementation practices and their influence on project performance. This study concludes that there is positive relationship between project implementation and the performance of the Mnazi Bay Gas project. Apart from challenges that were identified with regard to community involvement, the Mnazi Bay Gas project was implemented well. However, there are challenges which were identified during planning in so far as the indigenous or surrounding community of the project are concerned. They were not furnished with enough information about the project, their expectations were not met mainly employment to an uneducated and better life and the dissemination of information during planning was bias since the brochures and flyers used a foreign language which is English.
Recommendations/Policy Implications: Theories enrich the study's analytical framework, facilitating a comprehensive assessment of project implementation practices and their influence on performance. Thus, with this achievement policymakers should consider resource allocation strategies to enhance project performance in resource-intensive endeavors and address critical bottlenecks within projects and implement measures to alleviate constraints. Practitioners involved in project implementation should focus on optimizing resource utilization. Practitioners should adopt a stakeholder-oriented approach, actively engaging with diverse stakeholders and considering their interests throughout the project's lifecycle. | 2,023 | [

dd91df80b157adee16444fb81e43ccc3ed56dd2d | Research on the Application of the Virtual United Organization in the Prophase of the Construction Project | Currently, the keystone of cost control has been moving from the Construction Phase to the prophase of construction project. However as there are still a lot of uncertain factors and the information obtained in the prophase is limited, there are yet no good methods for cost control in the prophase of the construction project. Virtual Organization, as one control method, has been applied in the cost control practice and it has made an impact on cost control. However, Virtual Organization is still not able to fully solve the problems in the prophase of the construction project. Based on the present researches, this paper tries to further improve the cost control level in the prophase of the construction project through establishing the Virtual United Organization and analyzing its applications. In the Virtual United Organization, the Work Package is creatively used to check each scheme and control the project cost. Keywords-Virtual United Organization; Cost control; Construction project I. GENERAL DISCRIPTION In 1990s, Doctor AliJaafari firstly raised the theory of Life Cycle Project Management (LCPM), which applied Life Cycle Management theory into construction field. Based on the theory of Concurrent Engineering (CE), he also raised the theory of concurrent construction (CC). Both of the LPCM theory and CC theory required the project participants to form a life cycle united organization in decision making phase so as to realize the integrating function of integrated management. Professor Hu Cheng from the Southeast University of China raised the point of standardizing WBS and PBS in Life Cycle Integrated construction project management. The key point is establishing a united center database which incorporates the different databases of each participant so as to realize the united management and use under the internet circumstances . Professor Yong Peng from Tongji University analyzed the background of virtual construction, defined the virtual construction and illustrated the method for classifying information in the process of virtual construction implementation. He also pointed out that the virtual construction model could help to raise the management level of project management . Qinghua He published the Application of Virtual Organization in Construction Industry in ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION. He pointed out the concept of Virtual Organization and its application in construction field— —Virtual Construction . In his another paper Research on the Life Cycle Integrated Management Model of Construction Project, he put forward the life cycle management design concept from the owner’s aspect. He also made deep analysis and research on the information model, layers of system integration and methods of life cycle information integration system. Even though the researches in this field have achieved a lot, however, there are still following defects in practice: 1)The positions of the project participants are still not well balanced. 2)Most project participants care their own benefit and ignore the project target.3 ) There are no coordinating and cooperating atmosphere in the organization and there are only order and control. 4)There is still information delivery shortage, overload, distortion and delayed phenomenon. This paper tries to improve the above defects through establishing Virtual United Organization and analyzing its applications. II. PROJECT VIRTUAL UNITED ORGANIZATION MODEL OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT “Virtual Organization” is a temporary, non-fixed and mutual trusted alliance formed when two or more than two companies, organizations and persons that are legally independent, try to provide certain products and services to the market swiftly. [5] The application of Virtual Organization in construction area is Virtual Construction. This concept was firstly raised in 1996 by America Inventor Association: “Virtual Construction is a approach to the design ——build process a incorporating electronic connectivity and upside—— down management techniques”. Based on the theory of Virtual Construction and combining the integrated project management model, this paper established the Virtual United Organization model. The detailed relations of all the participants and their communication ways are demonstrated in figure 1. Virtual United Organization is a Presentation Format of project organization system integration. The main participants of This work is financed by Tianjin philosophy and social science research program(TJGL07-34) 2010 International Conference on E-Business and E-Government 978-0-7695-3997-3/10 $26.00 © 2010 IEEE DOI 10.1109/ICEE.2010.701 2776 construction projects: owner, consultant, designer, constructor, supplier, operating party, maintenance party and so on. Based on the public internet and for the purpose of raising values of construction project, all participants are united together to share resources and knowledge information. What need to note is that this virtual united organization can not fully replace the organization under traditional project management model. They are complement to each other. And considering the difference of work content in different construction phases, this Virtual Organization adjusts itself according to different construction phases. Around the owner, different auxiliary team leader shall be set in each construction phase. For example, consultant party could be set as the auxiliary team leader in decision making phase and design party could be selected as the auxiliary team leader in design phase. This dynamic united organization shall be more adjustable and could better serve for the life cycle project management. All the participants don’t have to be the real participant of the future, especial when it is in the prophase of the construction project, all the participants could be potential and the number of participant is not fixed. Virtual United Organization has the following characters: a) It unites all the participants of a project with the project management software through internet. It shares information and exchanges data to the maximum extent though internet like document management, teleconference, and online discussion. It goes beyond the limitation of operation platform and location. b) The ultimate target of this model is to establish a new cooperation relationship which emphasis cooperative “winwin” more than competition. Allied partners share resources and benefits. The vertical order “owner---designer---constructor---supplier” model changes to lateral cooperation model among owner, project manager, designer, constructor, and supplier. Figure 1. Interior communication of Virtual United Organization c) Virtual United Organization has no regular work place, instead, it is combined by partnership, connected by the information and communication technologies and realizes cross-regional construction with straightforward management level. III. APPLICATION OF VIRTUAL UNITED ORGANIZATION In the prophase of construction project, each scheme experiences the stage of information collection, scheme brought forward, scheme selection and scheme outgoing (see figure 2). [6] Whether it is in decision making phase or design phase of a construction project, these four stages are combined together and keep circulating. Figure 2. The process of scheme production The purpose of virtual united organization is to control the Life Cycle Cost, it experiences from the information collection stage till the scheme outgoing stage. In this process, the detailed work of Virtual United Organization is as followed: A. Duty of Virtual United Organization in information collection stage The existence of Virtual United Organization makes it possible for all the project participants to make full communication with each other in the life cycle time. The participants should share their collected information before each scheme is put forward. The owner and auxiliary team leader transmit the information of the project to the participants through the internet platform. After receiving the information, each participant delivers their demand, suggestions and other relevant information to the owner. B. Duty of Virtual United Organization in the scheme brought forward stage Auxiliary team leader shall assist the owner to select the information and judge which information shall influence the scheme. Based on the information, the owner shall put forward couples of candidate schemes. Meanwhile, the auxiliary team leader shall estimate the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) in this phase. The owner shall make the first step selection of the schemes. The estimate of the Life Cycle Cost in each phase shall be more and more precise with the construction process going deeper. It shall also meet the demands of each phase better. For example, The LCC estimation in decision making phase should be in the reasonable investment control scope, and the LCC estimation in design phase should satisfy the demand of Quota Design. The general principle is that the budget should not go beyond the budget estimate and the budget estimate should not go beyond the rough estimate. If the scheme can not meet the | 2,010 | [

245f9faf97f714a747be2f371ba014474e9fbd00 | Critical Success Factors for Agile Software Development | Agile project management has gained substantial popularity in the IT sector over the years, particularly among software development organizations. The attainment of success in these endeavors hinges on various factors known as “critical success factors” (CSFs), a subject frequently explored in academia. Nonetheless, there is no consensus regarding their impact on agile software development. To address this gap, in this article, we aim to recognize and analyze CSFs in software development projects executed using agile methodologies. The study identifies 25 CSFs categorized into five categories based on the recent literature findings. A structured survey with seven-point Likert scale questionnaires is conducted among agile software development professionals, resulting in 121 valid responses. These responses are analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings highlight that all constructs formed within the CSFs significantly contribute to the success of agile software development projects. Moreover, the study reveals that the positive effects of these CSFs on success follow a descending order: Project factors, people factors, organizational factors, process factors, and cultural factors. Intriguingly, when these CSFs are considered as a second-order construct, their impact is even more pronounced, suggesting a synergistic relationship among these elements. This research addresses a crucial scientific aspect in project management literature and also introduces a novel yet theoretically grounded model. The study demonstrates strong validity, reliability, and explanatory capabilities (56.1%) concerning the phenomenon. Additionally, it contributes to the discussion on CSFs by pinpointing statistically significant factors and gauging their individual and collective influence on the success of agile software development projects. | 2,024 | [

1524d785d0b828f0d94c71e86b6aaacf775719be | The Role of Leadership Styles in Project Management: Systematic Literature Review | This article examines the role of leadership styles in project management through a systematic literature review and focuses on three main leadership styles, i.e., transformational, transactional, and servant leadership. Leadership is one of the critical factors that have a direct impact on project outcomes, team dynamics, and stakeholder satisfaction. The bottom line is that choosing the right leadership style directly impacts the success or failure of projects, team dynamics, and stakeholder satisfaction. Transformational leadership is associated with greater project success, better team cohesion, and increased stakeholder satisfaction by inspiring and motivating teams to achieve a common goal. This research aims to identify the effects of these leadership styles in different project environments and determine the conditions in which each style has the most significant advantage. Transactional leadership, which emphasizes structures, rewards, and punishments, is effective in environments where strict adherence to processes is required but may limit creativity. On the other hand, by prioritizing the growth and well-being of team members, servant leadership leads to increased creativity, cooperation, and improved team morale. The research method is a systematic review of existing articles and studies from reliable scientific sources to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of leadership styles on project management by analyzing their results. This study summarizes the various findings and evaluates the effects of these leadership styles in different project contexts. Finally, the importance of matching leadership styles to project needs is highlighted to improve performance, enhance team dynamics, and achieve successful outcomes. | 2,024 | [

338d8c2c972a61f62fec000e029547d2cba87997 | ASSOCIATIVE MODEL OF COMPETENCIES IN IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT | In the world of management, the competency-based approach is becoming increasingly widespread, which is based on the recognition of the important role of the human factor in any modern business processes. The quality and effectiveness of practical tasks and the results obtained depend on the quality level of training of specialists and the compliance of their knowledge with the requirements of specific work. Despite the fact that the topic of competency-based management has been covered to a certain extent, a fairly wide range of issues remains uncertain. This concerns both the theoretical justification of the definitions of competencies, competencies, competency models, and the practical application of the competency-based approach to process management in a specific area, namely in project management. The specificity of the latter is associated with the influence of a rapidly changing environment and poor predictability of the implementation of the projects themselves and their results. In this regard, the set of required competencies and their content often change, which negatively affects the quality of project implementation, especially in the field of IT technologies. | 2,024 | [

93155a4d7d08353bafa2119287398215024fdf29 | Activity scheduling and resource allocation with uncertainties and learning in activities |
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a model which schedules activities and allocates resources in a resource constrained project management problem. This paper also considers learning rate and uncertainties in the activity durations.
Design/methodology/approach
An activity schedule with requirements of different resource units is used to calculate the objectives: makespan and resource efficiency. A comparisons between non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm – II (NSGA-II) and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm – III (NSGA-III) is done to calculate near optimal solutions. Buffers are introduced in the activity schedule to take uncertainty into account and learning rate is used to incorporate the learning effect.
Findings
The results show that NSGA-III gives better near optimal solutions than NSGA-II for multi-objective problem with different complexities of activity schedule.
Research limitations/implications
The paper does not considers activity sequencing with multiple activity relations (for instance partial overlapping among different activities) and dynamic events occurring in between or during activities.
Practical implications
The paper helps project managers in manufacturing industry to schedule the activities and allocate resources for a near-real world environment.
Originality/value
This paper takes into account both the learning rate and the uncertainties in the activity duration for a resource constrained project management problem. The uncertainty in both the individual durations of activities and the whole project duration time is taken into consideration. Genetic algorithms were used to solve the problem at hand.

6e87d1290036c4da7708be6e0823494fcefcea56 | Managing concurrent execution of multiple activities in product development process | Many companies adopt concurrent engineering in their product-development projects in order to reduce time to market. Concurrent engineering requires careful management, since the uncertainty of transferred information leads to rework and renders a development process complex. Most of the existing studies on concurrent engineering have analyzed overlapping between two activities. The present study expanded the research scope by modeling the developmental process of the concurrent execution of multiple activities as the result of management decisions, the overlapping ratio, and the information transfer frequency. When multiple activities are overlapped, it is more difficult to model a development process, since the uncertainty of cascaded information has impacts on many activities. The quantitative model developed in the present study provides insights into the uncertainty of information and the product-development process. Based on the generalized process model for multiple-activity overlapping, the optimal decision to minimize project duration was considered. As a solution to the dilemma of the high computational burden of considering all feasible decision sets, this paper proposes a myopic heuristic. The project management heuristic proposed in this paper is intended to assist managers in the decision-making process, as well as reducing the intermediate deadlines in project main plan. | 2,020 | [

e56699084d44df07123a00dde20a3368124aa95e | ProteomeCommons.org collaborative annotation and project management resource integrated with the Tranche repository. | ProteomeCommons.org has implemented a resource that incorporates concepts of Web 2.0 social networking for collaborative annotation of data sets placed in the Tranche repository. The annotation tools are part of a project management resource that is effective for individual laboratories or large distributed groups. The creation of the resource was motivated by the need for a way to encourage annotation of data sets with high accuracy and compliance rates. The system is designed to respond to the dynamic nature of research in an easy-to-use fashion through the use of a dynamic data model that does not inhibit the innovation that is important for basic research. Placing the annotation tool within a project manager allows annotation to occur over the life of the project and provides the security and monitoring capabilities needed for large or small collaborative projects. The resource effectively supports distributed groups of investigators working on common data sets and is available immediately at https://ProteomeCommons.org . In addition, a silver compliant data resource based on ProteomeCommons.org has been developed for cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) to allow much broader access to the annotations describing data sets in the Tranche repository. | 2,010 | [

089c988f6e431480725cc5e1b4d9d35a79607a20 | A Learning Management System for Tracking and Assessment of Online Team Projects | Online education platforms demand that reliable and measurable assessment and feedback generation systems be developed to ensure quality. In particular, classes requiring large software development projects need step-wise requirement specifications, verification and validation to affect proper assessment in phases. Such monitoring and assessment support is virtually non-existent in contemporary tutoring or learning management systems. In this paper, we propose a novel implementation of a team-based project management and assessment system for online database classes as an integral and vital component of a modern learning management system. | 2,023 | [
