Manufacturing organisations are continuously innovating their systems and processes in order to survive in today’s turbulent environment. There are currently a number of software tools available on the market, which can help managers and decision makers innovate their systems. These tools range from sophisticated modelling and simulation tools to project management tools. Each tool has their ow...

The main objective of software project management is to assure that a software product will be delivered in time, keeping the cost limits and a proper quality. The key problems are the proper estimation of the effort needed to implement a specific design, the sufficient and effective allocation of resources and the development environment. An appropriate project plan has to have a good or optim...

This paper is a dedicated research on the way the fields of Software Product Management and Software Project Management collaborate with each other, within software product companies. It analyzes the dependencies between software product and software project and the relationships between product and project managers. The software product is defined based on the market success, customer satisfac...

Motivating and engaging the current generation of technology-savvy students and improving the quality of learning is becoming more challenging with traditional instructional methods. Educational games and simulations are gaining more ground, both in formal and informal learning environments. With experiential learning, learners can enhance their management skills and ability to make decisions b...

Many software projects are inevitably associated with various types and degrees of uncertainty. It is not uncommon to see software project spiral out of control with escalated resource requirements. Thus, risk management techniques are critical issues to information system researchers. Previous empirical studies of US software firms support the adoption of development standardization and user r...

Currently, open source software communities are thriving and the number of projects that are available through well known code repositories is rapidly increasing over the years. The amount of code that is freely available to developers facilitates high reuse opportunities. One of the major concerns of developers when reusing code is the quality of the code that is going to be reused. Design pat...

The literature on open-source requirements is commonly concerned either with the processes associated with these requirements or with very specific requirements-related aspects of open-source development. In this study we bridge between these two approaches by exploring the existing relationships between open-source requirements and few characteristics of open-source projects (software quality ...
