Project Track and Trace Methodology in the Environment of Digital Ecosystem

Abstract

Digital ecosystems (DE) is an open-source network environment for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). By means of DE, project organisations are able to realize the distribution of organisational structure, to reduce internal cost and to achieve the biggest benefit. However, some issues exist in the process of project track and trace processes. In this paper, we analyze the daily project track and trace activities, including the organisational structure, the procedure of project planning and the scenarios of project distribution, by a case study in City of Melville Council - a typical project organisation, to discover the issues in these activities. To solve the issues, we extend the theory of CCCI Metrics to the field of project management. By means of the extended theory, a Project Track and Trace Card is designed to assist the senior management to timely administrate the project completion status in organisations, and then to promote the knowledge sharing in project organisations.
