Towards e-Government Project assessment: European approach
Zbornik radova Ekonomskog fakulteta u Rijeci : časopis za ekonomsku teoriju i praksu, 2013Co-Authors: Pavel Mates, Tomáš Lechner, Pavel Rieger, Jitka PěknáAbstract:The objective of the paper is to analyse current approaches to the assessment of e-Government Projects as the specifi c public Projects and to suggest how to improve these approaches in order to eliminate their shortcomings. The nonnormative theoretical methods are used to analyse empirical results of previous researches; particularly the deduction method is used to prove that current approaches to the evaluation of e-Government Projects have some inequalities, the analogy and comparison methods are used to create general typology of e-Government Projects and the induction method is used to seek examples of the indicators and metrics. The results are based on analysis of extensive amount of e-Government Projects, which have been realized in different European countries in the past twenty years. The basic result of the research is creation of the ten most common types of e-Government Projects typology. The fundamental conclusion

A Critical Assessment of Project Management Methods with Respect to Electronic Government Implementation Challenges
Systemic Practice and Action Research, 2010Co-Authors: Demetrios Sarantis, Steve Smithson, Yannis Charalabidis, Dimitris AskounisAbstract:In taking forward both the Government Modernization and the Civil Service Reform agendas, renewed emphasis is being placed on Project management approaches and techniques for achieving objectives more effectively and efficiently. After elaborating on specific electronic Government Project implementation challenges and giving an overview of state-of-the-art Project management approaches, the paper examines the weaknesses of three commonly used methods in the light of the e-Government Project challenges. The analysis identifies gaps in the methods, contributing to a better understanding of the factors that lead to success or failure. The resolution of such methodological limitations could lead to the enhancement of Project management methods when applied to future Projects.

A Goal Oriented and Knowledge Based E-Government Project Management Platform
2010 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2010Co-Authors: Demetrios Sarantis, Yannis Charalabidis, Dimitris AskounisAbstract:There is a growing need for better Project management in e-Government endeavors to bring together people with diverse knowledge and skills so they can develop and implement Project activities effectively and efficiently. This paper is a research report on eGTPM (e-Government Transformation Project Management) platform, a Project management tool which assists implementers and decision-makers in e-Government Project planning and control. eGTPM Platform improves most existing commercial tools by integrating goal orientation and dynamic enterprise modeling (DEM) principles into the knowledge building tool developed at the Decision Systems Laboratory in National Technical University of Athens. By employing goal orientation and DEM principles' concepts, eGTPM facilitates communication and collaboration among all involved parties in order to jointly identify Project needs and requirements and to reduce the number of changes due to misunderstandings. eGTPM also includes a knowledge based Project control advisor which contains heuristic knowledge to guide users to possible design alternatives. The paper describes eGTPM's components and possible directions for future work.

A Goal-Driven Management Approach based on Knowledge Exploitation for e-Government Projects
International Journal of Electronic Government Research, 2010Co-Authors: Demetrios Sarantis, Yannis Charalabidis, Dimitris AskounisAbstract:The implementation of electronic Government Projects in public sector organisations is a challenging task, due to technical, organisational and cultural specificities of the domain. Research shows that such IT Projects have higher failure rates than similar approaches in the private sector, also indicating the lack of a method to transfer knowledge and apply best management practices in an effective way. The proposed management approach aims to recognise structure and reuse past successful attempts, in ways that support the overall viability of an e-Government Project. After stating the fundamental principles of Project management that apply to public sector IT Projects, the authors present a conceptual model for e-Government Project management, including entities such as dimensions, goals, activities, deliverables and roles that can be structured and adapted to cover all types of relevant Projects in an out-of-the-box approach. This knowledge base of predefined Project components can then be populated and utilised in making more informed decisions for effective Project management of e-Government initiatives. This way, the proposed method supports public officials and practitioners in learning from past experience Projects and in designing and running e-Government Projects in a more systematic manner, thus, significantly increasing the likelihood of Project success.

ICEGOV - An ontology for stakeholder collaboration and knowledge exploitation in e-Government Project management
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance - ICEGOV '09, 2009Co-Authors: Demetrios Sarantis, Yannis Charalabidis, Dimitris AskounisAbstract:The expansive growth in implementation of e-Government initiatives combined with the high rate of failures has exponentially increased the interest in locating and applying the appropriate Project management procedures. E-Government Project management is identified as an area with an inherent need for reusing and exchanging information. Ontologies, by modelling concepts and their relationships, make possible descriptions of domains in a machine processable way. A feature like that is especially useful in the field of e-Government Project management. Public administration officials, decision makers, implementers and politicians, show great interest in reusing and exchanging information concerning Project management procedure, in an attempt to standardize the management operation, reuse of existing knowledge, improve collaboration and increase successful rates. The present paper presents an e-Government Project management ontology comprised of the main concepts that should be managed during Project implementation. It intends to encourage collaboration for the excellence and productivity of the management of e-Government Project processes and enable the interoperability and reuse of knowledge between all factors and stakeholders related to the implementation of such types of Projects.

ICITST - A Project management ontology as a reference for e-Government Projects
2009 International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST), 2009Co-Authors: Demetrios Sarantis, Dimitris AskounisAbstract:The elaboration of ontology contributes for the standardization and classification of concepts and terminologies and it has been happening in some sectors, as, for example, in the software engineering, the e-Government services implementation and the Project management. In the area of e-Government, the development of e-Government Transformation Project Management ontology aims at adopting and customizing the existing Project management approaches according to the specific challenges encountered in e-Government environment. In this context this research presents an ontological representation of the concepts of e-Government Project management. It intends to collaborate in the excellence and productivity of the management of e-Government Project process and enable the interoperability and knowledge reuse between all factors and stakeholders related with the implementation of such types of Projects.

assessing irreversibility of an e Government Project in kenya implication for governance
Government Information Quarterly, 2010Co-Authors: Nixon Muganda OcharaAbstract:Abstract This paper offers an exploratory analysis into the relationship between E-Government conceptualization and its intended impacts. By combining three independent research streams of technology transfer, information technology conceptualization and impacts, the expected national impacts of E-Government were theorized to influence how policy makers and implementers in developing countries conceptualize E-Government. The paper utilizes a qualitative research approach that is underpinned by critical realist assumptions. Actor–Network Theory was used as the meta-theory for the analysis. The findings point to a thinly-veiled control agenda by the Central Government bid to extend their control over local authorities through E-Government. The process of building an E-Government infrastructure is unfolding in an environment in which local actors' interests are weakly inscribed, while interests of the global actors are strongly inscribed. The overall implication is a trend in which the Central Government is enhancing bureaucratization through managerialization.

Role of integration in scaling of an e-Government Project
Transforming Government: People Process and Policy, 2020Co-Authors: Ambuj Anand, Sanjiv D. Vaidya, Sanawi M. SharahileyAbstract:Scaling is an important concern in the management of information systems Projects. E-Government Projects are no exception to the challenges of scaling. The problem is more severe because of a large and diverse population of target users and more crucial because of the vulnerability of the target population in case of failure of such initiatives (in Projects, such as public distribution system of food). In spite of a significant awareness of its importance among implementers, scaling still remains a challenge. This paper aims to examine this important issue.,The case study method has been used to demonstrate the relationship between integration and scaling of e-Government Projects. This study uses analytic generalization from field case as a method to theorize a broad framework for the integration of information and communications technology Projects. The context of this study is an e-Government Project in West Bengal, India. The selection of the case involved theoretical sampling apart from considerations for the possibility of access to the Project and its appropriateness with respect to the topic under study.,Five different levels of integration in e-Government Projects, namely, interface, data, electronic communication, application, and knowledge, have been identified. Further, it has been demonstrated that each of these integration mechanisms impacts scaling of e-Government Projects. Also, the nature of the impact has been identified.,This paper demonstrates the impact of integration on the scaling of e-Government Projects. It analyzes the phenomenon of integration in terms of five different levels. All the levels of integration impact scaling of e-Government Projects in different ways.

Role of Project owner in e-Government Project sustainability
Journal of Information Technology Case and Application Research, 2016Co-Authors: Ambuj Anand, Priya Seetharaman, Sanjiv D. VaidyaAbstract:ABSTRACTExtensive investments in e-Government Projects demand ample attention to the issue of their sustainability. Among the many factors that influence Project sustainability, the role of Project owner is critical. A Project owner is a leader who steers the Project toward sustainability. This role is examined here using a single in-depth case study as the research design. We present the case of Jhansi Jan Suvidha Kendra, a grievance redressal platform implemented in Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh, India), to highlight the multi-faceted role of a Project owner in different phases of the Project. The case analysis extends the existing research on Project ownership in information systems Projects, specifically in the context of large-scale e-Government Projects, in two ways. First, the role of the Project owner was found to be more important in the initial phases of an e-Government Project—conceptualization and implementation. Second, the Project owner’s contribution in the institutionalization of an e-Government p...
