Using GQIM Model and Gompertz Model to Measure, Analyze, and Optimize the Whole Process of Software Project

This paper proposes a novel concept of using defect management technology to measure, predict, and optimize the management of the entire software project cycle. It first utilizes the software defect measurement GQIM model and prediction Gompertz model to track and quantify the defects of the entire project cycle. Then, the specific optimization strategy is proposed to manage the core processes of the project management, including project scope management, project time management, project quality management, project human resource management, project communication management, and project risk management. This study solves the quantification problems that are common in the current software project management process, such as complex testing procedures, high defect repair costs, and high communication costs. Furthermore, it contributes to promote the overall level of project management in the software industry. Taking the SDLM’s electronic banking software project management as an example, the various management quality indicators before and after the optimization of the project management process strongly indicate that using software defect management technology to optimize the software project management process is feasible and effective.

The Impact of Project Performance on Customer Satisfaction

Project management performance, which means the overall capability of the performing project team to deliver the project to satisfy the customer’s requirements, has always been considered as one major key in achieving customer satisfaction, especially in a business-to-business organizational relationship. In this research, the researchers tried to find out how project performance actually impacts upon customer satisfaction. The project performance consisted of variables project scope management performance, project schedule management performance, project cost management performance, project human resource management performance, project risk management performance, project quality management performance, project communication management performance and project stakeholders management performance.
 Method.
 This research used quantitative approach. Data is collected through questionnaire distribution to companies in Jakarta and Bandung. Samples are respondent’s representative of companies, hold managerial position or decision maker. From around 400 distrubuted questionnaire, this researched managed to collect 112 valid response from 112 companies. Data is analyzed its validity and reliability and hypotheses testing employ regression analysis with SPSS software.
 Findings
 The research found that, In Indonesia, especially for the private sectors (93% of the respondents came from the private sectors, and only 7% come from public sectors), only four variables, which were project schedule, cost, human resources and risk management performance that significantly affected customer satisfaction. When the researcher interviewed 20 of the respondents most of them were the upper management in their organization, and most of them agreed on these findings.
 One of the most acknowledged reason for this is because most of the projects in the respondents’ projects were triggered by senior management decisions rather than fulfilling the organizations’ needs or the project deliverables’ users. These users were the ones who actually would use the project deliverables either in the form of products, applications, SOPs or even services. It was a very interesting finding, that many organizations actually conducted projects without actually needing the project’s outcomes. An organization should create a project to support its program, portfolio, vision and mission.

Assessment of the flexibility of human resources in enterprise’s innovative projects

The article examines the actual problem associated, on the one hand, with increasing requirements for the flexibility of human resources and management systems in conditions of increased dynamism and uncertainty of environmental factors, and, on the other hand, with the lack of scientifically based and practical approaches to assessing the flexibility of human resources with its subsequent formation. The relevance of flexibility is enhanced in relation to the human resources of innovative project teams, which are characterized by an even higher level of uncertainty, unpredictability and variability of project environment factors. This determined the purpose of the study, which is formulated as the development of a methodological approach to assessing the flexibility of human resources of innovative projects. To achieve this goal, there were set tasks of defining the concept of flexibility of human resources of projects, flexibility criteria and principles of their evaluation. The author used methods of analyzing the provisions set out in scientific publications, as well as the method of expert survey, which helped to formulate the hypotheses of the study, and then test them in practice. Using this method, 155 project managers and specialists from 36 enterprises in Russian cities were involved in the study. All enterprises implement innovative projects. The main conclusions of the expert survey were the following: innovative projects require flexible staff, flexibility is reduced to the ability to quickly and efficiently update their competencies, enterprises need methods for evaluating and developing the flexibility of human resources in projects, staff flexibility can be provided with a flexible management system. These findings became the basis for the development of a methodological approach to the assessment of flexibility, which provides for the assessment of the flexibility of people in projects and the assessment of the flexibility of project human resource management. There were proposed criteria for assessing flexibility, which are related to the assessment of the speed, depth and scale of updating the competencies of human resources of projects. The proposed developments can be useful to project managers for their activities to ensure the flexibility of innovative projects and people in these projects.

SOFT SYSTEM METHODOLOGY AND HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN DESIGNING PUBLIC PARK

ABSTRACT
 In DKI Jakarta, the quantity and quality of public parks need to be increased since they are not well cared of as most public spaces which resulted in the absence of visitors. Hypotheses arise that this condition may be related to inaccurate public park management. This paper is an attempt to acquire a conceptual framework related to competency requirements needed in designing public parks that focus on Soft System Methodology and Resource Management. This is a literature study coupled with interviews with those who are involved in the provision and use of public parks. Through Delphi's analysis, it reveales that a successful design of public park entails non-technical competency requirements related to "building relationships" involved with all parties integrated.

An Exploratory Study of Project Management Competency in Ghana

Project outcomes in Ghana have been adjudged to be poor as a result of how projects are managed, the form project management takes, and the project management approaches used. Low project management expertise has been identified as a contributory factor to how projects have been managed in Ghana. In the current study, the author adopted an exploratory research design approach to investigate project management competency in Ghana, using a purposively selected sample of 200 managers. Competency scores were used to determine organizational project management competency levels. Results showed that Ghanaian managers possess varying degrees of project integration, human resource, communication, quality, risk, and scope management competencies. The study recommends the systematic and deliberate improvement of project management competencies in order to increase the rate of project success in Ghana.

Factors influencing public sector employee's intention to work on projects

Public sector employees often have discretion as to whether to work on projects or to perform routine jobs. The motivational factors which encourage employees to work on projects have not been adequately investigated in the literature. For effective project human resource management it is important to examine the motivating factors to work in projects. To explore these factors, this study develops a model based on the theory of planned behaviour to identify public employees' intention to work on projects. To empirically verify the model, we collect 108 data from New Zealand public employees. The significant findings show that public employees are more motivated to work on projects when they believe that: project management tools and techniques will improve their job performance and quality of work; a project position does not require radical changes in the way they usually work; their colleagues have a positive opinion about project-based work and want them to work on projects; and when a project position is associated with high social status and prestige. Overall, the findings have managerial implications, and suggest ways for public sector organisations to develop human resource strategies that will help improve the recruiting process for public sector projects.
