The primary objective of project management is to complete a project within a targeted cost, schedule, and performance standard. Often, the project cost is managed by various parties of an organization with incongruent viewpoints and interests. Different perspectives stemming from their diverse backgrounds and interests can pose a major challenge towards successful project management. The spect...

The project management discipline is expanding within many engineering activities. This discipline can facilitate strivings toward successful accomplishment of an engineering project. Therefore, many academic institutes teach the “project management” program. This study presents a novel approach that educates engineering students to become successful project managers based on contextual learnin...

it is rather difficult to exploit knowledge in project organizations due to their unique characteristics and temporal behavior of activities. therefore, development of knowledge management capability among projects is accounted for an important source to gain competitive advantage. this paper tries to provide a conceptual framework in order to introduce applications of storytelling as an effect...

people and project management issues rather than technical issues.4 Agile methods (see the related sidebar on page 22) are a recent set of development techniques that apply a human-centered approach to software production.5 The agile approach aims to deliver high-quality products faster, producing satisfied customers. We conducted an empirical study to investigate whether agile methods change a...

This paper describes our experience in using a multimedia project management and software engineering environment, Decision-based Hyper-multimedia CASE (DHC), to support the Low-Visibility Landing and Surface Operations (LVLASO) project at the NASA Langley Research Center. 1 The purpose of the LVLASO project is to allow pilots to land and taxi airplanes when visibility is impeded due to adverse...
