Potential Effect of Creeping User Requirements on Project Management: A Simulation Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Requirements management has been discussed for at least fifteen years. As a discipline and as a practice, it has become more and more complex. In software projects new requirements are continuously issued and the objective of the requirement management is to elicit, manage and prioritize requirements. In the present study, a specific requirement management process is simulated. The stochastic parameters of the proposed system with specific system boundaries under a given environment have been estimated using event to event simulation. The present study will yield realistic results which are very near to the functioning of the live system. Based on results from simulation, conditions that result in an overload situation are identified. Simulation is also used to find process change proposals.

Case study: Redesigning a Kansei Engineering Designed Scissors by User Centered Design Approach
This paper is based on the research which was conducted earlier on Kansei Engineering (KE) and resulted in a new concept for scissors to redesign it with another method called “User Centered Design” (UCD). This is a shift from translation of the consumers’ psychological feeling about a product related to their perception of the design (KE) to focus on designing for and involving users in the de...
متن کاملFlexible resource management and its effect on project cost and duration
In practice, most projects result in cost overruns and schedule slippage due to poor resource management. This paper presents an approach that aims at reducing project duration and costs by empowering project managers to assess different scenarios. The proposed approach addresses combinatorial modes for tasks, multi-skilled resources, and multiple calendars for resources. A case study reported ...
