Application Of Project Management Research Articles

Comprehensive economic analysis and assessment of project implementation efficiency

Subject. The article is devoted to comprehensive analysis of projects to improve the effectiveness of their implementation. Objectives. The aim is to develop a comprehensive methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of project implementation in conditions of uncertainty and risk. Methods. The study draws on systems approach, using general scientific research methods, like deduction, classification, systematization, synthesis, analysis, and empirical research tool, i.e. questionnaires. The theoretical basis of the study was the works of Russian scientists in the field of economic analysis. Results. We developed a methodology for complex economic analysis and evaluation of project implementation efficiency. It includes three analytical blocks: project closure risk assessment by life cycle phase, based on integrated indicators obtained under the method of multidimensional comparison; project ranking, using the hierarchical cluster analysis of time, resource and quality limitation indicators as part of the total portfolio of projects; scoring diagnostics of the level of organizational, methodological and functional maturity of project management system, using the proposed system of test indicators. Conclusions. It is necessary to organize analytical support for projects to increase the efficiency of their implementation and maintain the financial stability of an economic entity applying project management. The developed methodology enables evaluation upon project completion and after the end of individual phases, which makes it possible not only to prepare an information base for making operational management decisions, but also to generate data for adjusting the project management strategy in the organization.

UI/UX Analysis of Project Management Information System (PMIS) Website Using User-Centered Design Method

In Industry 4.0, a lot of data has been digitized and is no longer stored manually. In helping to record all the projects that were worked on initially stored in outstanding Project Management applications such as Trello. However, the Trello application has limitations and compatibility with business processes, including employees not writing down projects that have been done because they are not in accordance with procedures, causing many projects to go unrecorded. So because of these limitations a Project Management Information System (PMIS) website is needed which makes it easy to record all projects so that there is no more unrecorded data. Furthermore, there are problems in conducting an analysis that can make it easier for users and how to design a User Interface and User Experience on the PMIS website using the User Centered Design (UCD) method, which in the manufacturing process will continue to make changes according to needs. The results of the User Interface design that has been made will be tested for User Experience using the Single Ease Questionnaire (SEQ) method as a measure of the success of the User Interface that has been made. Based on the results of the User Experience test using the Single Ease Questionnaire method for 5 respondents, an average value of 6.3 was obtained, which means that it can be concluded that the User Interface that has been created has a level of convenience that is in accordance with the User Experience.

Project Activity as a Consensus Management Tool in the Modern Library

Project activity is a tool for diversifying the management of modern library in the conditions of high complexity and uncertainty; it is a way to complete and strengthen the power vertical by horizontal ties of self-organizing peer groups. Participation in project activities allows building a space of trust between the administration and the library staff, forming shared goals and values, and contributes to strengthening consensus.Project activities contribute to the effective solution of complex tasks facing the modern library: embedding libraries in the knowledge economy, working in the format of social hub, implementing the agenda of creative industries. By helping to build partnerships with representatives of different communities, the project activities contribute to the development of material and technical resources of library, as well as the creation of new services, products and services. In addition, project activity is an important tool for developing the creative and organizational potential of library specialists.The article discusses the experience of the Irkutsk Regional Universal Scientific Library named after I.I. Molchanov-Sibirskiy on the systematic implementation of project activities in the central regional library and the network of libraries of the Angara region.

INTEGRATION OF STANDARDISED INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

The article addresses issues in the field of standards-based management systems. It is devoted to the methodology for the creation of integrated management systems (ISU) in industrial enterprises. A constant growth in the number and complexity of ISUs, as well as the number of industrial enterprises that implement them, sparked interest in research on the mode and prerequisites of integration, different input factors, and the results of the use of ISUs, their efficiency and efficacy, and antecedents of manageability of an enterprise during ISU formation or expansion. This forms the relevance of the presented study. The purpose of this article is to determine the ways to implement ISU in industrial enterprises, its key aspects, and possible implementation scenarios of it. Based on the application of project management and organisational change management methodologies, the universal stages of integration of standardised management systems of an industrial enterprise are highlighted. These stages are found in the traditional approach to standardisation process cycle, namely PDCA (plan-direct-control-act). Defining factors have been identified that contribute to the development of ISU. Cotter's Eight Stage Organisational Change Model methodology was applied to the task of ISU integration and development that results in attributing specified tasks for each stage; which enables more efficient ISU implementation and application. From this position, success in the integration of standardised management systems is decisively determined by the quality of management and the capabilities of managers, which is confirmed by the results of modern research in knowledge management in the context of the management of complex systems. This approach also means that any project of integration should provide for a mandatory phase of institutionalisation, which is necessary for the assimilation of new practise and the formation of a «new norm» of work within the ISU. In addition, considering the unique nature of the complexity of ISU formation, the need for a distinct stage of ISU formation — modelling of various configurations -– is identified, since it seems almost impossible to predict and plan all important aspects of both the implementation project and the functioning of the ISU in an analytical way. Through a combination of the most common elements of the ISU, integration scenarios that fit the different needs of the companies and a variety of strategies are identified. The process of implementing the ISU has been improved by shaping two additional phases: modelling at the beginning of the process and institutionalisation and institutionalisation at the end to consolidate new approaches to management in the practice of managers and employees. Some directions for future research are shaped.

Current characteristics of project management of state budget expenditures

This scientific work is aimed at analyzing the actual characteristics of the project management of state budget expenditures. The author studied the features of the application of the program-target approach as an alternative to the project approach, the situations of using this approach in states with a centralized economy, in countries with a mixed and transitional type of economy, and in countries with a developed market economy were considered. Next, the similarities between the program-target and project approaches were identified, which consist in the identity of some elements. The paper defines the project management of state budget expenditures, describes the purpose of this phenomenon, and also characterizes the project as the main tool in the project management of state and municipal finances. The author considered the key stages of the project implementation, which form a strict algorithm: the idea of the project, the preparatory stage, development, implementation, operation and closing of the project. In addition, the paper studied the features of project management of budget expenditures, namely: focus on results, the use of project management methodologies, accounting for time and budget, quality control. The author studied the links between the elements of project management of budget expenditures, which consist of planning, control, evaluation of results and adjustments. In the final part of the work, the principles of project management of budget expenditures (complexity, validity, flexibility, efficiency, limitation, focus on change, personalization, coordination) were considered, as well as conclusions were drawn regarding the application of project management of state budget expenditures in modern conditions and its connection with programmatic -targeted approach.

A vector visualization of uncertainty complementing the traditional fuzzy approach with applications in project management

In view of recent technological developments and new computational and graphical possibilities, scientists and practitioners have become increasingly interested in studying how data and information should be presented. For instance, in project management, it is now recommended to employ dashboards instead of traditional reports. It is also believed that the usage of vectors, resembling the hands of a clock, may increase the efficiency and effectiveness of data presentation and information processing. In light of this, we propose a novel approach to visualization of uncertainty as defined by triangular fuzzy numbers. This new representation is based on vectors whose length represents the range of possible values of an uncertain parameter, while the slope reflects tendencies within possible scenarios. The mathematical foundations and definitions along with the basic properties of this approach are demonstrated in detail. In particular, we show how to transform triangular representations into vector ones and vice versa. The arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication by a crisp number on these vectors are demonstrated as well. Possible applications of the new vector visualization to project uncertainty representation and in project management are described. We also discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of our approach in relation to the traditional visualization as graphs of membership functions. Our proposal is complementary to the traditional one, and they should be used in combination. The new graphical representation of triangular fuzzy numbers expands the available toolbox for visualizing uncertainty not only in project management but in any other area.
