The rapid growth in demand on information systems and the uncertainties associated with the development process for such systems has revealed problems such as inappropriate human resource management, poor quality, and serious delay. Traditional project management approaches emphasize the importance of scheduling, while careful allocation of resources across projects is critical and has a direct...

The goal of this paper is to describe a learning experiment which was initially the result of the collaboration between two Management Schools of the Community of European Management Schools (CEMS) network (Hautes Etudes Commerciales and London School of Economics) and which is being extended to other schools within (Wirtschaft University, Vienna) and outside this network (University of Maribor...

We present and solve a path optimization problem on programs. Given a set of program nodes, called critical nodes, we find a shortest path through the program’s control flow graph that touches the maximum number of these nodes. Control flow graphs over-approximate real program behavior; by adding dataflow analysis to the control flow graph, we narrow down on the program’s actual behavior and di...

Project planning inevitably involves uncertainty. The basic input parameters for planning (time, cost and resources for each activity) are not deterministic and are affected by various sources of uncertainty. Moreover, there is a causal relationship between these uncertainty sources and project parameters; this causality is ignored in current state-of-the-art project planning techniques (such a...

The web has become the main platform for deploying business and social application and organizational information systems. Web Project management is relatively new field of knowledge, which has been dynamically developing. Goal of project management is providing solutions to existing problems, ranging from simple problems of preparing a wedding to setting up a factory or building a space ship. ...

Developing new products efficiently complying with resource constraints is a key success factor in today’s marketplace. However, unpredictable incidents occur during new product development (NPD) processes, which often cause resources and schedule overruns. Traditional project management tools lack of efficient and effective methods to solve these problems and challenges. This study applies the...

Abstract This work aims to study a project scheduling method based Critical Chain Method (CCM), which is a burgeoning project scheduling technology based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC). We formulate the model of the critical chain project scheduling problem, in which a simplified scheme of critical chain project scheduling is used to generate the critical chain project plan. And then, a gen...
