One of the leading causes of IT system failures is the failure of IT system development or operational projects. These developmental or operational failures may result from software faults or erroneous IT system setups or operation. To prevent such failures and their recurrence, it is essential to clarify the reasons for past failures. This paper proposes a method to clarify the causes of IT system...
Rapid software development demand in software engineering is increasing with passage of time in all fields of life and in all domains of computer. Agile methodology is result of this rapid software demand and it is focusing on how to balance the ratio of developed software according to user demands. This research paper enlightens the agile methodologies and their conversion into the agile project...
Software effort, schedule, and cost estimation has the highest utility at the time of inception. Since software size is one of the most important determinant of software effort (and, hence, cost), it is extremely beneficial to estimate size early. This early estimation of size is likely to result in better planning for projects dealing with the development of software games. Yet, despite its utility,...
Our study employs quantitative bibliometric techniques including citation and co-citation analysis through social network realisation and Gephi clustering of articles from the Project Management Journal published by Project Management Institute (PMI). We identified the core themes to be Project Success/Failure, Portfolio/Programme Management, Knowledge Management, Qualitative Research, Complex Projects,...
The costs associated with higher education continue to increase placing even great emphasis on the need to understand and control costs. In response to these needs, many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are adopting business management models, processes and technologies. With the increased business activities at HEIs, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors recognized this new market opportunity...
The main goal of agile development methods is to reduce risk thereby resulting in more successful and effective information systems. Indeed, Finding out, analyzing, prioritising, and planning risks are important activities in all development approaches, including Agile development. However, while there is an extensive body of academic literature on risk management, few little researches have attempted...
Information Technology tools for Software Lifecycle Management have advanced in recent years to enable organizations to implement a more centralized, enterprise-level lifecycle management solution. Despite these tools having become commonly used in the software development world, the Test Program Set (TPS) community remained behind the times. This paper presents the history and implementation of TPS...
Refactoring is a key approach for managing technical debt. In the past few years, refactoring techniques and tools have received considerable attention from researchers and tool vendors. However, several practical challenges must be overcome to facilitate the adoption of refactoring in industrial contexts. Results from a survey at the Siemens Corporate Development Center India highlight common challenges...
Software has important role for government agencies. It changes governance systems and processes by improving service delivery from government to business (G2B), community (G2C), and among agencies (G2G). It was triggering many government agencies to undertake software projects. On the other side, software projects are so dynamic and uncertain. The problems caused by delayed schedule, costs overrun...
The aim of this study is to answer the question about risk factors for the information system (IS) projects in public organizations in Poland. These factors were identified based on a critical review of literature, practical collaboration, the case study and logical deduction. The paper continues as follows. Firstly, a relationship between risk factors and a project success is explained and risk factors...
This paper presents a framework and empirical analyses for the survey data from 1,678 managers and professionals working in a collaborative environment for Japanese software houses to understand relationships among factors of factor groups; the project manager, project team members, and the organization, which may lead to project success/failures. The results of the research model using SEM show that...
Software ecosystems--collections of software projects developed and used by the same community--are extremely complex. Comparing them with biological ecosystems can yield new strategies for improving their effectiveness and resilience.
In these times of great changes, managing software projects effectively is a big challenge and it is increasingly more difficult to find skilled professionals. This paper presents the Project Management Game 2D (PMG-2D), an educational serious game that aims to assist inexperienced software project managers to be trained, considering cost, time, risk and human resources management areas. The PMG-2D...
Global software engineering (GSE) has become common in the software industry. Distributed development work comes with many challenges, especially related to communication and coordination. Thus, it is essential to also teach and prepare the new population of software engineers to be aware of — and familiar with — these hurdles. We addressed this need by arranging a joint (agile) software project course...
The Software Engineering sector has been demanding an education model that targets real market practices more and more exactly. This includes bearing in mind that, in the market, a software project is subject to numerous restrictions of time, budget and other resources required for its development. In this context, this article describes the application of a learning methodology based on problems,...
Some problems related to software process and project management improvement programs are detected during their implementation. Companies from the software projects segment have difficulty dealing with software Project management and quality models (CMMI, MPS-BR and PM-BOK) since the ways to implement the key areas of the process and the good practices inherent to Project management are interpreted...
It is well established that an effective pedagogy for project management requires students to get real-world experience. The challenge in providing this when teaching undergraduate engineers is the dichotomy between achieving realism and maintaining sufficient simplicity to make the course tractable. A real-world group technology project at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) in New Zealand establishes...
Project management is an essential activity across several areas, including Software Engineering. Through good management it is possible to achieve deadlines, budgets goals and mainly delivering a product that meets customer expectations. Project management activity encompasses: measurement and metrics; estimation; risk analysis; schedules; tracking and control. Considering the importance of managing...
Nowadays it is noticed that many projects fail, software projects are notoriously disaster prone, not necessarily because of technological failure, but more often due to uncertainties. In their efforts to keep their projects, many project managers are implicitly using similar ideas, though not always formally as the subject proposes. In this article, a qualitative research which was conducted through...
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Information Technology (IT) students are not adequately exposed to implementing a software development methodology or a project management framework to develop software as per the current curriculum. The students' final year Project Work was selected to apply an industry-oriented Agile software development methodology. Specifically, we employed the most popular...
