This study puts forward a generic and comprehensive costing framework for software projects that aims for simplicity. This is achieved by integrating commonly used CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) costing concepts in a broader organizational context. The costing framework comprises three layers: costing targets, costing activities, an...

The fast changing environment and the complexity of projects has increased risk exposure. The PMBOK proposes a structured risk management process, integrated within the overall project management framework. However, unresolved difficulties call for further developments in the field. In projects, risks take place within a complex web of numerous interconnected causes and effects, which generate ...

Many problems in software development projects are due to risks and could be avoided or minimized if identified and treated pro-actively. In this context, software tools to support risk management could be very helpful. However, it is difficult to find a project management tool, accessible to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that provides adequate support to risk management in conformance wi...

Vorgehensmodelle, Bewertungsmodelle und Wissensmodelle. In der Praxis wird vieles durcheinandergeworfen. In diesem Beitrag wird auf Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede eingegangen am Beispiel von CMMI, PMBOK und dem Vorgehensmodell VM97. Ziel ist die praktische Arbeit der Softwareentwicklung gleichzeitig zu unterstützen und zu fordern. Dazu wurde ein Mapping der Standards angefertigt, das vorgeste...

The objective of this article is to compare a generic set of project management processes as defined in Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) with a number of agile project management processes. PMBOK is developed by Project Management Institute and it is structured around five process groups (initiating, planning, execution, controlling and closure) and nine knowledge areas (integration...

Purpose: Few studies in the literature address success of enterprise Information Systems (IS) projects, namely focusing on how is influenced by project management practices. This research studied impact ISO 21500/PMBOK processes IS aiming to contribute a better understanding practices importance context this type projects. Design/methodology/approach: An international survey was used collect da...

Transactive memory is the process of using other people as external memory aids. Research indicates that transactive memory enhances several functions that improve project performance, such as knowledge transfer, knowledge integration, and knowledge coordination. The PMBOK is a leading text used to train and inform project managers. Surprisingly, a content analysis found that only 2 of 179 tool...

In prior literature, it has been generally seen that there is no explicit theory of project management. We contend that it is possible to precisely point out the underlying theoretical foundation of project management as espoused in the PMBOK Guide by PMI and mostly applied in practice. This foundation can be divided into a theory of project and a theory of management. We link theories to the b...
