Learning lessons from projects is becoming increasingly critical to organizations and has peaked academics' and practitioners' interests. Although for many reasons in practice, the process of learning today to avoid making the same mistake tomorrow does not necessarily take place throughout the project's lifecycle. This paper is based on research aimed at examining the measurable impact of systematic...
Nowadays, flexibility of project management attracts practitioners and scholars attention as a must-have quality to enable managing project complexity. Increased complexity of infrastructure projects needs such management approach which takes the (increasing) complexity into account. Literature sheds light on importance of flexibility in project management while practice of project management in construction...
Project management theory has not advanced beyond that developed in the mid-20th century, even as project management practice struggles with managing complex systems development. Cost, schedule and performance are insufficient management focal points in the challenged world of system-of-systems development. Acknowledging the systems aspect in managing projects, and the problem solving methodologies...
Organizational influences is an umbrella concept that refers to factors in the social and organizational context that impact the project setting. Shared values are organizational influences and a level of organizational culture. This paper explores the impact of three shared values, namely conformity and commitment, on the organization and project performance in the Norwegian project management practice...
Measurement of information system (IS) project success remains an unsolved challenge. Instead of seeking a commonly accepted measurement framework, some scholars suggest a contingency approach. The idea is that no set of success dimensions fits best in all situations, instead, dimensions' relevance depends on given context. We continue existing research by investigating how the relevance of success...
In response to calls for new and underexploited perspectives on project management, this paper proposes a conceptual framework to extend emergent project management thinking to a service ecosystems approach grounded in service-dominant (S-D) logic. Project management -- including project, program and portfolio management -- is examined, as an industry-agnostic discipline, through the S-D logic, service-ecosystems...
Most large projects are complex systems of systems themselves or effect changes to complex systems of systems or both. Project complexity is therefore a rich research field, but has yet to develop a generally-accepted industry standard that enables practitioners to utilize current knowledge. A project complexity meta-framework incorporating key insights from existing frameworks has been developed...
Despite the overwhelming advantages of using system development methodologies (SDMs), organizations are rarely able to motivate their staff to use them. Even when employees use these methodologies, the question regarding the nature of their use remains, i.e. how are they using them? To better understand the way employees use SDMs, we conceptualize usage into three distinct constructs: committed, compliant,...
Decisions on which processes, tools and techniques will be used in order to accomplish project objectives in the most efficient way are contingent upon specific project features. One of the most challenging of such features is the project's complexity. The objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge on the concept of project complexity, relations between project complexity and use of...
Programme is characteristic for its large-scale and long period. With complexity and uncertainty, the difficulty of programme risk management is increased. The essential features of programme risk and the basic ideas of integrated risk management are introduced in this paper. Based on the Hall Three Dimensions Structure Theory, an integrated risk management system of programme is set up in terms of...
On the basis of literature review on complex project crisis management, it points out the insufficiency of existing complex project crisis management: dispersed resources, lack of collaborative work and weak capacity of dynamic crisis management. It designs complex project crisis management grid system according to the structure of complex project gird elements and complex project crisis management...
The large-scale construction enterprise project portfolio management is a effective integration bridge of strategic goal and project management, under the guidance of the corporate strategy, project selection is a key scientific factor. In this paper, Vague sets' TOPSIS algorithm, Comparison the distance between the project set A of the project solution and Vague positive-ideal solution (VPIS) and...
This paper discusses the informationalization of engineering management (IEM ) from two aspects. The IEM is one of the fields of informationalization and is also a kind of tools for engineering management. Then the author makes clear the concept and essential features of IEM. In the last part of the paper, the working p rocess of IEM, features of information system and the developing conditions are...
A growing challenge for today's complex decision making is the successful implementation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Many problems that arise in ERP implementation have been discussed and tackled by researchers in recent times. An emerging threat to the successful implementation of ERP is the wicked problems. Wicked problems manifest in somewhat enormous projects or applications...
The models of software development used for electro-technical systems are observed by the authors. The classification of this models are offered in the article.
Construction project contains numerous negative characteristic for managerial system implementing, but there are also substantial evidences that various system features are indeed important for project management, especially for large scale complex project. In order to achieve the managerial system more efficiently and effectively, system management is absolutely necessary. The primary purpose of...
Fuzzy cognitive maps are used as project management risk factors decision aids to better assess how change in one part of an IT agile project management organization affects other parts of it. FCM modeling is used to analyze the impact of the changes. It suggested that the initial decision would not yield the expected results so intervention measures were undertaken to reengineer existing relationships...
Theory studies and practice at home and abroad indicate that traditional project management shows limitations and inadaptability in dealing with large-scale complex project. So the paradigm of project management should be changed. After research on the complexity of large-scale project, analyze project management paradigm under the background of complexity science and put forward to the direction...
The problem of coordinating activities while developing large software systems is challenging. In this paper, we formulate a quantitative coordination model to analyze the optimal management policy for incremental software development. Then we develop an effective solution procedure with polynomial complexity to solve the model. Numerical studies show: (1) too large a team size is counter-productive...
The elaborate work division and conflicts within the overall coordination of a large complexity project give rise to a plenty of difficulties in management. An effective project management system is needed to reduce the complexity in management, and then fulfill the integration management and systematic control in large complexity projects. Based on the practice of the project management system of...
