Scheduling techniques that accommodate complexity: industrial practices and new approaches.
Complexity is a recognized factor that impacts project performance, yet quantifying this impact remains elusive. The Newtonian certainty of breaking down a project's schedule through a work breakdown structure into discrete activities fails to acknowledge the interwoven nature, iterative behaviour, …

An experimental investigation of the effects of software size increase on software project management behavior
… have focused efforts to improve software project productivity on the role of the software project manager. The complex dynamics of software project development, and the "visibility" of the project, affect decision making and performance to a large degree. Using the System Dynamics Model …

Reduced DoD product development time : the role of the schedule development process
… in determining the development time for military projects: the project's initial schedule. Part 1 outlines the current situation, previous efforts to reduce development time, and experiences with cutting development time in the commercial sector. It also documents the military product development …

A robust planning and control methodology for design-build fast-track civil engineering and architectural projects
… proposed methodology is to help create a robust project plan for design-build fast-track civil engineering projects where unforeseen changes can be absorbed in the project schedule without creating major interruptions. The axiomatic design concept is applied to formulate and evaluate various work …

Bookkeeping Procedures for the Application of the Concept of Pre-Allocation of Total Float
With the increasing complexity in construction projects, monitoring project schedule and managing projects effectively is becoming increasingly important. Most projects being deadline oriented, timely completion becomes a must. Like every industry, the construction industry too lays a lot of …

Control-Theoretic Decision Support for Mitigation of Modeled Software Project Cost Overruns
… that is difficult to manage according to a schedule. Control theory studies the ability to influence the dynamical behavior of systems to achieve desired behaviors or eliminate undesired behaviors. In this work, the management problem of software project schedule adherence is re-cast as a …

Error propagation in concurrent product development
… of concurrency in a typical design-build-produce project introducing a new product. Faster product life-cycles and demanding schedules have introduced the importance of beginning downstream work (build/manufacturing) while upstream work (design) is incomplete. Conceivably, this project concurrency …
