a hierarchical approach to multi Project Planning under uncertainty
Omega-international Journal of Management Science, 2007Co-Authors: Erwin W Hans, Willy Herroelen, Roel Leus, G WullinkAbstract:We survey several viewpoints on the management of the Planning complexity of multi-Project organisations under uncertainty. Based on these viewpoints we propose a positioning framework to distinguish between different types of Project-driven organisations. This framework is meant to aid Project management in the choice between the various existing Planning approaches. We also discuss the current state of the art of hierarchical Planning approaches both for traditional manufacturing and for Project environments. Next, we introduce a generic hierarchical Project Planning-and-control framework that serves to position Planning methods for multi-Project Planning under uncertainty. We discuss various techniques for dealing with the uncertainty inherent to the different hierarchical stages in a multi-Project organisation. In the last part of this paper we discuss two cases from practice and relate these to the positioning framework that is put forward in the paper.

temporal specification of business processes through Project Planning tools
Business Process Management, 2010Co-Authors: Camilo Flores, Marcos SepulvedaAbstract:Business Process Management has gained importance within organizations due to the need to streamline their operations. Nevertheless, despite the existence of process modeling standards such as BPMN, nowadays it is difficult to specify complex temporal constraints and relationships among tasks of a given process, which prevents the specification and subsequent automation of processes where these restrictions are relevant. To solve the exposed difficulty, we have resorted to the Project Planning and management field, developing a BPMN equivalency of all temporal constraints and relationships that can be specified in a standard Project Planning tool: Microsoft Project. This not only enables a simple interface for specifying complex temporal restrictions in business processes, but also defines an execution semantic for the models developed in the field of Project Planning, allowing their later automation through process execution engines.

COMPSAC - Software Project Planning Associate (SPPA): a knowledge-based approach for dynamic software Project Planning and tracking
Proceedings 24th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference. COMPSAC2000, 1Co-Authors: Dick B. SimmonsAbstract:Software Project Planning can be one of the most critical activities in the modern software development process. Without a realistic and objective software Project plan, the software development process cannot be managed in an effective way. Over-runs of 100-200% are common. Some software Projects never deliver anything. Managers have difficulty understanding and visualizing the software development process defined in a software Project plan. The Software Project Planning Associate (SPPA), developed in the Java programming language, is accessed through standard World Wide Web browsers and designed to assist a software Project manager in objectively initializing a software Project plan, refining/improving a plan, organizing, staffing, scheduling, measuring, visualizing, controlling, tracking, predicting and data collecting. The resources, tasks, schedules and milestones of the software Project are described in the plan. As software development process evolves, measurements are unobtrusively gathered and compliance to the software Project plan is reported. Software process effectiveness predictions are made and recommendations are dynamically reported suggesting the software development that should be executed to best comply with the software Project plan. The SPPA was developed according to a knowledge-base plan model to allow the manager to keep track of the software plan component. SPPA, with the assistance of a software Project Planning agent, reports problems and suggests problem solutions to the manager. SPPA helps managers assure that a Project is within budget, on time and to customer satisfaction.

Main challenges during Project Planning when working with virtual teams
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 1Co-Authors: J.s. Gallego, I. Ortiz-marcos, J. Romero RuizAbstract:Abstract This study confirms the need to correctly plan human resources, risk and communication management when virtual teams are included in a Project team, as indicated in the literature review. his study extends the current literature in the field, in a way not previously identified by other authors, by identifying the importance of virtual teams in the requirements collection and scope management processes during Project Planning. It is demonstrated that Project managers should consider the impact of virtual teams on integration and scope Planning and not simply on resources, communication and cost Planning. In this study, the use of fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) is a key methodological contribution to indicate hidden or unknown impacts of virtual teams in certain key Project Planning processes.
