Resource allocation is the process of assigning resources to tasks throughout the life of a project. Despite sophisticated software packages devoted to keeping track of tasks, resources and resource assignments, it is often the case that project managers find some resources over-allocated and therefore unable to complete the assigned work in the allotted amount of time. Most scheduling software has provisions for leveling resources, but the techniques for doing so simply add time to the schedule and may cause delays in tasks that are critical to the project in meeting deadlines. This paper presents a software application that ensures that resources are properly balanced at the beginning of the project and eliminates the situation in which resources become over-allocated. It can be used in a multi-project environment and reused throughout the project as tasks, resource assignments and availability, and the project scope change. The application utilizes the bounded enumeration technique to formulate an optimal schedule for which both the task sequence and resource availability are taken into account. It is run on a database server to reduce the running time and make it a viable application for practitioners.
资源分配是在项目的整个生命周期中将资源分配给任务的过程。尽管复杂的软件包致力于跟踪任务、资源和资源分配,但项目经理经常发现一些资源分配过度,因此无法在分配的时间内完成分配的工作。大多数调度软件都有平衡资源的规定,但是这样做的技术只是将时间添加到调度中,并且可能导致对项目在最后期限内完成至关重要的任务的延迟。本文介绍了一个软件应用程序,它确保资源在项目开始时得到适当的平衡,并消除了资源过度分配的情况。它可以在多项目环境中使用,并在整个项目中作为任务、资源分配和可用性以及项目范围变化而重用。应用程序利用有界枚举技术来制定一个同时考虑了任务序列和资源可用性的最优调度。它在数据库服务器上运行,以减少运行时间,并使其成为从业者的可行应用程序。

There are strong motivating factors for more effective project management practices at the front end of the innovation (FEI) process. Shrewd management of these pre-development activities has proven to be one of the greatest differentials for success. This study presents findings from an empirical case study analysis of a large organization operating in the medical technology industry in Ireland. We synthesized the literature to identify five critical success factors (CSFs) known to be effective in the successful management of the FEI process. From this analysis an instrument to assess best practices was developed. Data was collected from 66 engineers in the R&D discipline. The findings of the study show that the organization’s FEI phase aligns well with best practice. However, a difference between the level of agreement about the extent to which the critical success factors are in place in the organization and the level of importance placed on these practices emerged. This paper contributes to knowledge by (a) assessing the relative importance of critical success factors for the FEI in the medical technology industry, (b) examining whether these initiatives are implemented in practice and, if so, to what extent, and (c) providing a series of recommendations to help bridge the gap from theory to practice.
在创新(FEI)过程的前端,有更有效的项目管理实践的强大激励因素。对这些开发前活动的精明管理已被证明是成功的最大区别之一。本研究介绍了爱尔兰医疗技术行业一家大型组织的实证案例分析结果。我们综合了文献,确定了五个已知在成功管理FEI过程中有效的关键成功因素(CSF)。根据这一分析,制定了一个评估最佳做法的工具。数据是从66名研发专业的工程师那里收集的。研究结果表明,该组织的FEI阶段与最佳实践非常一致。然而,在对组织中关键成功因素的落实程度达成一致的程度与对这些做法的重视程度之间出现了差异。本文通过(a)评估关键成功因素对医疗技术行业FEI的相对重要性,(b)研究这些举措是否在实践中实施,如果实施,实施程度如何,以及(c)提供一系列建议,以帮助弥合从理论到实践的差距,从而为知识做出贡献。

Compared to other projects, information technology (IT) projects, characterized by emergency and uncertainty, are unique. To implement an IT project successfully, many aspects need to be monitored and carefully controlled and managed. One such aspect is social relationships. All IT professionals are exposed to, and in many cases involved, in the phenomenon of social relationships. These relationships are used by software project team members for personal as well as professional purposes. In most cases the impact of these relationships on the success or failure of any given IT project is ignored by IT management. Little attention is given thereto in the literature and this paper attempts to make a contribution in terms of giving a broad perspective of the complexity, the impact, as well as the management of such relationships. This paper demonstrates that these relationships play a significant role and should be managed in such a way that the team members and the project as a whole can reap the benefits thereof. A conceptual framework is proposed for the management of these relationships.
与其他项目相比,信息技术项目具有突发性和不确定性的特点。要成功地实现IT项目,需要对许多方面进行监视,并仔细地控制和管理。其中一个方面就是社会关系。所有IT专业人员都接触到社会关系现象,并且在许多情况下涉及到这种现象。这些关系被软件项目团队成员用于个人和专业目的。在大多数情况下,这些关系对任何给定IT项目的成功或失败的影响被IT管理层忽略了。在文献中很少注意到这一点,本文试图从更广泛的角度来看待这种关系的复杂性、影响以及管理。本文证明了这些关系扮演着重要的角色,并且应该以这样一种方式进行管理,即团队成员和项目作为一个整体可以从中获益。提出了一个管理这些关系的概念框架。

Project management software packages are increasingly used by companies. These tools require a substantial financial investment, hence the importance of identifying the real contribution of project management software packages to the realization of projects. However, studies on the impacts of software packages on the performance of engineering project management are rare and mostly based on perceptions. The objective of this study is to investigate, from real project data, the level of utilization of a project management software package, developed by an engineering construction firm recognized internationally, and its link with project performance and project characteristics. Results stemming from non-parametric tests and correlation analyses show that the level of use of the software, and some of its subsystems, appears to be linked to project performance. Project duration also seems to be the most critical project characteristic.
项目管理软件包越来越多地被公司所使用。这些工具需要大量的财务投资,因此确定项目管理软件包对项目实现的真正贡献是很重要的。然而,关于软件包对工程项目管理绩效影响的研究很少,而且大多基于感知。本研究的目的是根据实际项目数据,调查由国际公认的工程建设公司开发的项目管理软件包的使用水平,以及它与项目绩效和项目特征的联系。非参数测试和相关分析的结果表明,软件及其某些子系统的使用水平似乎与项目绩效有关。项目持续时间似乎也是最关键的项目特征。

Sourcing motives behind sourcing decisions exposed through the Sourcing Decision Framework 通过采购决策框架暴露的采购决策背后的采购动机
IF 3.3 Q3 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2022-02-18 DOI: 10.12821/ijispm020101

There is no doubt that information systems (IS) are the backbone of today’s organizations. Having an initial inspection on sourcing motives in the financial sector it can be stated that resources used in development of information systems (IS) are seen as an important factor for sustained competitive advantage. However, it can be claimed that it depends to a high extent on the application of different sourcing modes. This leads us to a closer inspection on sourcing motives through selected case studies and the following research question: How can motives for sourcing options of IS-development be explained? The empirical investigation on sourcing decisions and the motives behind, in addition to a literature review on sourcing decisions and sourcing options ends in four propositions. These propositions are then used in tandem with the findings from the empirical data for initial development of the Sourcing Decision Framework (SDF). Ultimately, what is at stake here is our framework (SDF) that from the initial development and the first test has shown to be purposive and could be further developed to a useful framework for analyzing sourcing decisions and as a guiding tool for decision-makers when deciding on sourcing options for IS-development.
毫无疑问,信息系统是当今组织的支柱。对金融部门的采购动机进行初步检查后,可以说,用于开发信息系统的资源被视为保持竞争优势的重要因素。然而,可以说,这在很大程度上取决于不同采购模式的应用。这使我们通过选定的案例研究和以下研究问题对采购动机进行了更深入的考察:如何解释IS开发的采购选择的动机?除了对采购决策和采购选择的文献综述外,对采购决策及其背后动机的实证调查还以四个命题结束。然后,这些命题与实证数据的结果一起使用,用于采购决策框架(SDF)的初步开发。最终,这里的利害关系是我们的框架(SDF),从最初的开发和第一次测试来看,它是有目的的,可以进一步发展成为分析采购决策的有用框架,并作为决策者在决定is开发的采购选项时的指导工具。

A catalog of information systems outsourcing risks 信息系统外包风险目录
IF 3.3 Q3 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2022-02-18 DOI: 10.12821/IJISPM020302

Information systems outsourcing risks are a vital component in the decision and management process associated to the provision of information systems and technology services by a provider to a customer. Although there is a rich literature on information systems outsourcing risks, the accumulated knowledge on this area is fragmented. In view of this situation, an argument is put forward on the usefulness of having a theory that integrates the various constructs related to information systems outsourcing risks. This study aims to contribute towards the synthesis of that theory, by proposing a conceptual framework for interpreting the literature and presenting a catalog of information systems outsourcing risks. The conceptual framework articulates together six key risk elements, namely dangers, negative outcomes, undesirable consequences, factors and mitigation actions. The catalog condenses and categorizes the information systems outsourcing risk elements found on the literature reviewed, both from the perspective of the outsourcing customer and from the perspective of the outsourcing provider. Proposals for subsequent work towards the generation of the theory of information systems outsourcing risk are suggested.
信息系统外包风险是供应商向客户提供信息系统和技术服务的决策和管理过程中的一个重要组成部分。尽管有大量关于信息系统外包风险的文献,但在这一领域积累的知识是零散的。针对这种情况,提出了一个整合信息系统外包风险相关各种结构的理论的有用性。本研究旨在通过提出一个解释文献的概念框架并提供信息系统外包风险的目录,为该理论的综合做出贡献。概念框架将六个关键风险要素,即危险、负面结果、不良后果、因素和缓解行动,结合在一起。该目录从外包客户和外包提供商的角度,对所审查文献中的信息系统外包风险要素进行了浓缩和分类。对今后信息系统外包风险理论的产生提出了建议。

The use of current interactive and collaborative Web 2.0 concepts and technologies has great potential for flexible, loosely-coupled integration and ad-hoc information exchange within and between organizations. However, stakeholders’ readiness, willingness and ability to participate need to be continuously factored in. The successful implementation of common strategies, systems and processes in the course of Enterprise 2.0 projects is crucial. To increase the probability of success and to enhance the intensity of cooperation and trust in such projects, the constructs of transparency, communication and participation need to be addressed through an integrated project methodology. To bridge the gap between existing scientific models and requirements for Enterprise 2.0 projects, this paper proposes and describes a project methodology to support the main objectives for Enterprise 2.0 implementations. Selected results from two pilot projects within Austrian companies are presented and matched with critical success factors, which are derived from the literature. These provide elaborative insights into key characteristics of certain Enterprise 2.0 tools and project management for Enterprise 2.0 projects.
使用当前的交互式和协作性Web 2.0概念和技术,在组织内部和组织之间具有实现灵活、松耦合集成和临时信息交换的巨大潜力。然而,利益相关者的准备、意愿和参与能力需要持续考虑。在企业2.0项目的过程中,成功实施共同的战略、系统和流程是至关重要的。为了增加成功的可能性并加强对这些项目的合作和信任,必须通过综合项目方法来处理透明度、沟通和参与的概念。为了弥合现有科学模型和企业2.0项目需求之间的差距,本文提出并描述了一种支持企业2.0实现主要目标的项目方法。从奥地利公司的两个试点项目中选出的结果被提出,并与来自文献的关键成功因素相匹配。这些提供了对某些Enterprise 2.0工具和Enterprise 2.0项目管理的关键特征的详细见解。

A tale behind Mum Effect 妈妈效应背后的故事
IF 3.3 Q3 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2022-02-18 DOI: 10.12821/IJISPM010303
Sakgasit Ramingwong, L. Ramingwong
Mum effect is a situation when one or more project stakeholders decide to withhold critical information for particular reasons. In software project where most of the production is intangible, the seriousness of this challenge increases exponentially. There have been reports indicating that mum effect can surface during any phase of development and ultimately lead to disaster in software projects. Mum effect can be influenced by several factors such as organizational and national cultures. This research investigates potential mum effect scenarios and reveals specific reasons which induce this challenge among information technology practitioners.
妈妈效应是指一个或多个项目利益相关者出于特定原因决定隐瞒关键信息的情况。在大多数生产都是无形的软件项目中,这一挑战的严重性呈指数级增长。有报告表明,在开发的任何阶段都可能出现妈妈效应,并最终导致软件项目的灾难。妈妈效应可能受到组织文化和民族文化等因素的影响。这项研究调查了潜在的妈妈效应场景,并揭示了在信息技术从业者中引发这一挑战的具体原因。

Directly acting on Project Management practices, PMO provides companies with help to innovate, reaching competitive advantage and growth in the long run, ceteris paribus, and attempts to reduce uncertainty. Even though PMO is a more consolidated practice in some countries, the phenomenon has lately been introduced in Italy, and it is still evolving. Not all organizations and not all individuals clearly understand the potential of PMO, and its role is often limited to simple Project Management in its strict meaning, while areas for improvement are many and varied. The paper analyses the status of PMO through a survey conducted inside the Italian banking sector, trying to frame the role of PMO, throwing light on its importance for a company as a whole, and not just for a single project. A discussion of the results and future work concludes the paper.
PMO直接作用于项目管理实践,为公司提供创新、获得竞争优势和长期增长等方面的帮助,并试图减少不确定性。尽管PMO在一些国家是一种较为统一的做法,但这种现象最近才被引入意大利,并且仍在发展中。并不是所有的组织和个人都清楚地了解PMO的潜力,并且它的作用在严格意义上通常仅限于简单的项目管理,而需要改进的领域是多种多样的。本文通过在意大利银行业内部进行的一项调查,分析了PMO的现状,试图构建PMO的角色,阐明其对整个公司的重要性,而不仅仅是对单个项目的重要性。最后对结果进行了讨论,并对今后的工作进行了总结。

Not all organizations and not all individuals clearly understand the potential of PMO, and its role is often limited to simple Project Management in its strict meaning, while areas for improvement are many and varied. The paper analyses the status of PMO through a survey conducted inside the Italian banking sector, trying to frame the role of PMO, throwing light on its importance for a company as a whole, and not just for a single project. A discussion of the results and future work concludes the paper.","PeriodicalId":43984,"journal":{"name":"IJISPM-International Journal of Information Systems and Project Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47732346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organizations are increasingly implementing Enterprise Information Systems (EIS), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in particular. Despite the notable studies on the advantages of an EIS, many organizations are not satisfied with the benefits or advantages gained. At the same time, it is assumed that such systems with increasing innovations and technological enhancements would generate abundant business advantages, if organizations exploited these opportunities. The investigation in this work drew on the sociomateriality perspective, using imbrication notion, and focused on a telecomm case study to examine how organizations can exploit the technological possibilities of an EIS to create business benefits. The study findings suggest that business benefits can be achieved when the EIS as a technical system is interwoven with the organizational work in which both dynamically change in practice (not from the technical features of the system), when the system provides interesting and beneficial technological possibilities that attract organizations, and when the firm has the organizational capabilities to translate these possibilities into real business benefits.
各组织越来越多地实施企业信息系统(EIS),尤其是企业资源规划(ERP)系统。尽管对EIS的优势进行了显著的研究,但许多组织对所获得的好处或优势并不满意。同时,人们认为,如果各组织利用这些机会,这些创新和技术增强的系统将产生丰富的商业优势。这项工作中的调查借鉴了社会物质性的视角,使用了重叠的概念,并集中在远程办公案例研究上,以考察组织如何利用EIS的技术可能性来创造商业利益。研究结果表明,当EIS作为一个技术系统与组织工作交织在一起时,可以实现商业效益,在组织工作中,既有实践中的动态变化(而不是系统的技术特征),也有系统提供吸引组织的有趣和有益的技术可能性,以及当公司有组织能力将这些可能性转化为真正的商业利益时。
