the dynamic nature of projects and the fact that they are carried out in changing environments, justify the need for their periodic monitoring and control. collection of information about the performance of projects at control points costs money. the corrective actions that may need to be taken to bring the project in line with the plan also costs money. on the other hand, penalties are usually...

the issue of successful project management and control is of vital importance in today’s world. although the time and cost of any project is determined in advance, paying less attention to an appropriate control and revision will result in a small chance of reaching those goals. the earned value management method that shows deviation of projects schedules and costs is of the good method for thi...

background: nursing project management is widely used in different aspects of the society. however, whether the nursing project management can control the infections in the operation room (or) is rarely reported. we evaluated the outcomes of surgical patients after implementing a nursing project management program to provide new scientific ways to manage the or infections. methods: overall, 382...

In the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in developing project control systems. The primary purpose of such systems is to indicate whether the actual performance is consistent with the baseline and to produce a signal in the case of non-compliance. Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in monitoring project’s performance indicators, by plotting them on the S...

In this paper we present a simulation based approach to predict the expected probability distribution that describes the size of a software project in a given period in the future. Since the simulation strongly depends on historical information, we propose the collection of such data from version control systems, which are well-known and widely used in the industry. We discuss the information c...
