Improving IT-projects

I am a doctoral student at Capella University, conducting a study to explore ways of improving Information Technology (IT) projects by focusing on project management processes, customer requirements, customer communication, and continuous improvement guidelines in the ISO standards.

If you have managed an IT project, you are eligible to participate in this survey.

The questionnaire has six sections consisting of a total 49 questions and 6 feedback questions. It will take about 20 minutes to complete the survey.

The Pilot study would provide an opportunity to get your feedback on the last IT project you completed, and to get feedback on the survey questions. Based on your feedback the questionnaire will be corrected and will be sent to target population for a final survey.

Your participation and thoughtful feedback could provide valuable information to the project management body of knowledge and may help organizations to improve IT project success.

Thank you and appreciate your help and support.

Beslutsfattande och risktagande hos projektledare

Mitt namn är Dennis Engkvist och inom ramen för min D-kurs på Uppsala Universitet, ämnar jag att undersöka beslutsfattande och risktagande hos projektledare. Studien riktar sig till individer som är, eller har varit projektledare tidigare.

Enkäten tar 5-10 minuter att genomföra, och är helt anonym. Ni kommer att få svara på ett antal påståenden kring beslutsfattning och risk, för att därefter ta ställning till fyra mycket korta scenarion.

Syftet med undersökningen är främst att se hur projektledares beslutsstilar hänger ihop med risktagning och hur de fattar beslut.

Nedan följer länken till enkäten:

Learning and Knowledge management in organizations (closed 2010-08-01)

António Amaral is a doctoral student at Minho University(Portugal), Department of Production and Systems, in the area of Project Management.

He recently developed a questionnaire on Learning and Knowledge Management in Organizations.

The questionnaire is divided in four different parts:

- Data of the interview;

- Technology in the organizational environment;

- Organizational learning environment;

- Leadership.

In order to fulfill the questionnaire it is needed about 15-20 minutes.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to measure the importance of learning and knowledge management topics to the 21st century organizations. Can they constitute the new pillars for performance enhancement and for obtaining market differentiation? We intend to evaluate this phenomenon. The work environment, the relationship between employees, the kind of leadership, the technology available, the organizational culture, among other factors, are examined in the questionnaire.

Governing outsourcing engagements in the presence of uncertainty and supplier opportunism
(closed 2010-08-31) 

Successfully managing an outsourcing engagement is a difficult endeavor. It becomes even more difficult when the supplier acts opportunistically and the project team encounters uncertainty in requirements, resources and technology. The goal of this study is to examine governance mechanisms used by buying firms/ units and recommend appropriate methods to manage an outsourcing engagement under conditions of opportunism and uncertainty. Your participation in this study will enable us to examine effective methods of managing outsourcing projects.

Ravi Srinivasan is a PhD student in The Eli Broad School of Business at MichiganStateUniversity in USA. He is currently working on his dissertation which examines effective methods of managing outsourcing engagements. As part of the dissertation process, he is collecting responses from project managers who are currently involved (or were recently involved) in an outsourcing engagement.

Project XY (stängd 2010-02-07) 

"Project XY: the project management chromosomes" is a research project addressing the notion of gender diversity in project management.

Based on Fritjof Capra definition of feminine and masculine paradigms, the research aims assess the way feminine and masculine paradigms (i.e. value system, ways of thinking, decision making, relational approach) are integrated in Project Management models and, most of all, in the practices of professionals.

The main goal is to identify “the” project management chromosomes as a result of a combination of personal attitudes (either feminine or masculine), PMBOK® guidelines and best practices.

In order to reach this goal, the research needs to collect the experience of Project Managers from various countries, with different seniority, experience and professional background.

The questionnaire will be accessible online from 14th December 2009 to 7th February 2010. To access the online survey access, please click the link below.

The results of the research will also be available online and they will also be presented among the initiatives the Northern Italy Chapter is planning for the 2010 PMI® EMEA Congress to be held in Milan.

The questionnaire and the results will be validated by SAS®, the research technical sponsor.
