Organizations actively involve external partners in their project activities to access valuable knowledge, expand their resource pools, and enhance the quality of project outcomes. Research shows that participating in interorganizational collaboration is crucial to fostering the organization's competitive edge. While previous studies have assessed the importance of external collaborations on the project level, research on the role of external partners on the project portfolio level is scarce. Applying a relational view, we studied 116 project portfolios from medium to large-sized organizations across different industries and assessed antecedents and consequences of external relationship quality at the project portfolio level. Our findings indicate that maintaining high-quality relationships with external project partners across the portfolio is positively associated with overall portfolio success and, eventually, business success. Results further indicate that cultural support and structural formalization are critical portfolio-level antecedents to external relationship quality. When testing for the interaction of the cultural and structural antecedents, we find that culture and structure act as substitutes; a highly supportive culture can balance out low formalization and vice versa. By shedding light on the antecedents and consequences of external relationship quality in project portfolios, our research adds to the understanding of project portfolio management in its context. It gives practitioners new insights into mechanisms that need to be considered when opening project portfolios to external partners.

组织积极地将外部合作伙伴纳入其项目活动中，以获取有价值的知识，扩展其资源池，并提高项目结果的质量。研究表明，参与组织间协作对于培养组织的竞争优势至关重要。虽然以往的研究已经评估了外部合作在项目层面的重要性，但对外部合作伙伴在项目组合层面的作用的研究很少。应用关系视图，我们研究了来自不同行业的大中型组织的116个项目组合，并在项目组合层面评估了外部关系质量的前提和后果。我们的发现表明，在项目组合中与外部项目伙伴保持高质量的关系与整个项目组合的成功以及最终的业务成功呈正相关。研究结果进一步表明，文化支持和结构形式化是影响外部关系质量的关键因素。在对文化前因和结构前因的相互作用进行检验时，我们发现文化和结构起替代作用；高度支持性的文化可以平衡低正规化，反之亦然。通过揭示项目组合中外部关系质量的前提和结果，我们的研究增加了对项目组合管理的理解。它为从业者提供了在向外部合作伙伴开放项目组合时需要考虑的机制的新见解。

For the past thirty-five years, project management research has been largely dominated by studies emphasizing the prosocial, and therefore positive, traits of project managers and their influence on project outcomes. Alongside this tradition, however, a growing body of work has begun to examine alternative traits, specifically project manager dark personality (PMDP) traits, which are frequently described as ‘dark’. These traits are generally characterized as aversive, deviant, or malevolent. Despite increasing scholarly interest, the intellectual structure of research on PMDP traits remains underexplored. To address this gap, the present study undertakes a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of PMDP literature published between 1989 and 2024, with the aim of uncovering the thematic focus and publication patterns within this field. Our analysis reveals seven recurring project-focused themes: ‘Corruption, unethical, and negative behaviours’; ‘Impact of dark traits’; ‘Causes and effects of biases’; ‘Dark leadership and well-being’; ‘Causes of selective reporting’; ‘Authoritarian leadership and toxicity’; and ‘PM traits and outcomes’. The study makes two key contributions: first, it provides a pioneering primer on PMDP traits and traces their developmental trajectory; second, it highlights emerging themes and trends that merit further investigation.

在过去的35年里，项目管理研究在很大程度上被强调项目经理的亲社会（因此是积极的）特征及其对项目结果的影响的研究所主导。然而，伴随着这一传统，越来越多的工作开始研究其他特征，特别是项目经理黑暗人格（PMDP）特征，这通常被描述为“黑暗”。这些特征通常被描述为厌恶、离经叛道或恶意。尽管越来越多的学术兴趣，研究PMDP特征的知识结构仍未得到充分探索。为了解决这一差距，本研究对1989年至2024年间发表的PMDP文献进行了全面的文献计量分析，旨在揭示该领域的主题焦点和出版模式。我们的分析揭示了七个反复出现的项目主题：“腐败、不道德和负面行为”；“黑暗特征的影响”；“偏见的原因和影响”；“黑暗领导与幸福”；“选择性报道的原因”；“威权领导和毒性”；以及“项目经理的特点和结果”。该研究做出了两个关键贡献：首先，它提供了PMDP特征的开创性入门，并追踪了它们的发展轨迹；其次，它突出了值得进一步研究的新主题和趋势。

With a focus on paradoxes, this paper aims to analyze the current state of research on self-managing teams within an agile project context. It centers on the interdisciplinary concepts of autonomy and control, particularly their paradoxical interrelations, to understand their varying manifestations and to propose strategies for addressing them. Methodologically, the paper is based on a systematic literature review of the published interdisciplinary research related to agile self-managing teams, and the findings were analyzed using thematic coding. The review identifies three core paradoxes: (1) between individual autonomy and team cohesion, (2) between team autonomy and organizational control, and (3) between agile structures and team practices. These paradoxes emerge across different organizational levels. Although they appear distinct, it is important to recognize that they originate from the same fundamental paradox of autonomy and control. We suggest that understanding this core paradox is essential for identifying and managing its various dimensions. Furthermore, we argue that a key to addressing these paradoxes lies in grasping the conceptual complexity of autonomy and control. More specifically, these paradoxes often occur at multiple levels, individual, team, and organizational, and are caused by factors such as misaligned priorities, competing institutional logics, or uneven information flows. The study highlights the need to embrace paradoxical thinking and foster shared understanding and salience throughout the organization to address these paradoxes effectively. Lastly, the paper calls for further research that adopts a multilevel perspective when studying agile self-managing teams.

本文着眼于悖论，旨在分析敏捷项目背景下自我管理团队的研究现状。它以自主和控制的跨学科概念为中心，特别是它们之间矛盾的相互关系，了解它们的不同表现形式，并提出解决它们的策略。在方法上，本文基于已发表的与敏捷自我管理团队相关的跨学科研究的系统文献综述，并使用主题编码对研究结果进行分析。该综述确定了三个核心悖论：(1)个人自治与团队凝聚力之间，(2)团队自治与组织控制之间，以及(3)敏捷结构与团队实践之间。这些矛盾出现在不同的组织层次。虽然它们看起来是不同的，但重要的是要认识到它们起源于自治和控制的相同基本悖论。我们认为，理解这一核心悖论对于识别和管理其各个维度至关重要。此外，我们认为解决这些悖论的关键在于掌握自主和控制的概念复杂性。更具体地说，这些矛盾经常发生在多个层次，个人、团队和组织，并且是由诸如优先级不一致、竞争的制度逻辑或不平衡的信息流等因素引起的。该研究强调了在整个组织中接受矛盾思维并促进共享理解和突出的必要性，以有效地解决这些矛盾。最后，本文呼吁在研究敏捷自我管理团队时采用多层次的视角进行进一步的研究。

Engaging local community stakeholders in projects is important. A project town hall meeting is a common practice to do so. However, many project town hall meetings suffer from low attendance. This study investigates how the project organization can use its website and social media to support attendance. The study draws on literature on social media marketing, the customer journey concept, and the use of different appeal elements. It applies a case study approach with two cases: The Western Sydney Airport project and the London Heathrow Expansion project. We found that the project organizations used their websites and the social media Facebook, X and YouTube to a limited extent. Furthermore, they mostly used rational and transactional appeals, thus foregoing the chance to engage stakeholders in attending by application of interactional appeals. Based on the findings, we offer a framework for use of own websites and social media to support the stakeholder journey towards attending project town hall meetings. Our research enriches project management knowledge by highlighting what to consider in the application of websites and social media for local community stakeholder engagement.

让当地社区利益相关者参与项目非常重要。一个项目市政厅会议是这样做的一种常见做法。然而，许多项目市政厅会议的出席率都很低。本研究调查了项目组织如何利用其网站和社交媒体来支持出席。该研究借鉴了有关社交媒体营销、客户旅程概念和使用不同吸引力元素的文献。它采用了两个案例的案例研究方法：西悉尼机场项目和伦敦希思罗机场扩建项目。我们发现项目组织在一定程度上使用他们的网站和社交媒体Facebook， X和YouTube。此外，他们大多使用理性和事务性申诉，从而放弃了通过应用交互式申诉来吸引利益相关者参加的机会。根据调查结果，我们提供了一个框架，用于使用自己的网站和社交媒体，以支持利益相关者参加项目市政厅会议。我们的研究通过强调在应用网站和社交媒体进行当地社区利益相关者参与时需要考虑的问题，丰富了项目管理知识。

Cost estimates in the front-end phase of public projects are critical in ensuring the selection of good projects that provide value for society. In this study, we use theoretical perspectives of front-end and cost estimation under uncertainty to address the gap in project management research on practices to produce realistic cost estimates. We interviewed 31 cost engineers and held a workshop with 53 participants who had a background in costing. The findings demonstrate substantial information and input data challenges in the front-end, and that cost estimation cannot be understood as an isolated process. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that the organization and management of the estimation process are critical for achieving realistic front-end cost estimates beyond merely applying specific models or methods. Our results also highlight that focusing on uncertainty is essential for realistic budgeting and responsible decision-making in major public projects. Finally, the study provides practical recommendations to enhance the quality of front-end cost estimates, such as improving the preservation and storage of historical data and maintaining a focus on uncertainty throughout the process.

公共项目前期的成本估算对于确保选择能为社会提供价值的好项目至关重要。在本研究中，我们运用不确定性下的前端和成本估算的理论视角来解决项目管理研究实践中的差距，以产生现实的成本估算。我们采访了31名成本工程师，并与53名具有成本背景的参与者举行了研讨会。研究结果表明，前端的大量信息和输入数据存在挑战，成本估算不能被理解为一个孤立的过程。该研究通过证明评估过程的组织和管理对于实现现实的前端成本评估至关重要，而不仅仅是应用特定的模型或方法，从而对文献做出了贡献。我们的研究结果还强调，在重大公共项目中，关注不确定性对于现实预算和负责任的决策至关重要。最后，该研究提供了提高前端成本估算质量的实用建议，例如改进历史数据的保存和存储，并在整个过程中保持对不确定性的关注。

The hybrid project management (HPM) approach aims to leverage the strengths of various methodologies while mitigating their weaknesses, thereby supporting project managers in achieving project success. However, there is limited comprehensive knowledge about the practical implementation of HPM in organizations. This paper seeks to bridge the gap in academic literature regarding HPM, as examined in Web of Science and Scopus, and to investigate the existence and application of HPM in practice. The authors analyze the significance, benefits, and drawbacks of different project management methodologies. The research follows PRISMA guidelines, addressing five specific research questions to ensure a systematic, transparent, and rigorous process. The findings are presented in structured tables, offering a thorough understanding of the subject. This study provides a foundational basis for future research on HPM, particularly within the business administration field. It focuses exclusively on hybrid methodologies relevant to business products and service development areas, excluding unrelated hybrid approaches. In summary, this paper aims to enhance the understanding and application of HPM, offering valuable insights for both academic and practical advancements in project management.

Agile transformation in projects requires configuring agile practices and frameworks to better fit project needs, goals and circumstances. It is rarely delivered through a systematic process, thereby challenging transformation performance and leading to dissatisfaction and failure. We propose a new, analogical tailoring process model, based on the interactive garment tailor-customer process of garment tailoring, and empirically examine the validity of the model through eight semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion with agile coaches and project team members. A refined analogical agile tailoring process model is structured to reflect steps for both agile coaches and project teams to exchange, collaborate and achieve agile transformation in projects. The practice innovation we present demonstrates the process-based interactions required to increase the degree of fit of agile techniques and create a stronger agile coach-client team relationship. It clarifies the process for agile transformation at project level and presents a critical view of tailoring that is largely missing from the project management literature.

项目中的敏捷转换需要配置敏捷实践和框架，以更好地适应项目需求、目标和环境。它很少通过系统的过程交付，因此挑战了转换绩效并导致不满和失败。我们提出了一个新的类比裁缝过程模型，该模型基于服装裁缝与客户的互动过程，并通过八次半结构化访谈和与敏捷教练和项目团队成员的焦点小组讨论实证检验了模型的有效性。构建了一个精细化的类比敏捷裁剪过程模型，以反映敏捷教练和项目团队在项目中交流、协作和实现敏捷转换的步骤。我们提出的实践创新展示了基于流程的交互，以提高敏捷技术的契合度，并创建更强大的敏捷教练-客户团队关系。它阐明了项目级敏捷转换的过程，并提出了项目管理文献中大部分缺失的裁剪的批判性观点。

First, we present a number of simple tests of AI, which document a profound gap between the hype and the reality of AI. Second, we explain the gap in terms of a confusion of artificial general intelligence with generative artificial intelligence in the promotion of AI. Finally, we analyze AI as bullshit (in the strong philosophical sense of Harry Frankfurt). We find that AI and bullshit are similar in the sense that both prioritize rhetoric over truth. They mix true, false, and ambiguous statements in ways that make it difficult to distinguish which is which. AI sounds convincing even when it's wrong. As such, current AI is more about persuasion than about truth. This is a problem because it means AI produces faulty and ignorant results. For now, we need to be highly skeptical of AI for its lack of a concept of truth.

首先，我们提出了一些简单的人工智能测试，这些测试记录了人工智能的炒作和现实之间的深刻差距。其次，我们从人工智能推广中对通用人工智能与生成人工智能的混淆来解释这一差距。最后，我们分析人工智能是扯淡（在哈利·法兰克福强烈的哲学意义上）。我们发现人工智能和扯淡在某种意义上是相似的，它们都优先考虑修辞而不是真相。他们把真实、虚假和模棱两可的陈述混合在一起，使得很难区分哪个是哪个。人工智能听起来很有说服力，即使它是错误的。因此，目前的人工智能更多的是说服，而不是真相。这是一个问题，因为这意味着人工智能会产生错误和无知的结果。目前，我们需要高度怀疑人工智能，因为它缺乏真理的概念。
