Abstract:

Interdependencies between projects have come to play a more active role in the decision on IT/IS portfolios and their constituent projects. However, managing these interdependencies can be a complex task, especially when the number and degree of interdependencies among projects are high. In times of uncertainty, unexpected challenges can seriously disrupt projects and, consequently, their interdependencies. This may threaten the project portfolio from achieving its final goal. The study aims to investigate the difficulties associated with managing project interdependence along the development

Abstract:

The paramount importance of project portfolios for business drives managers to search for highly efficient support tools to overcome complex challenges of their management. A major tradeoff is to acquire tools able to produce a convenient portfolio project prioritization process, on which business investments are decided. However, by using existing Project Portfolio Management Systems (PPMS), many concurrent projects in a portfolio are usually prioritized and planned in the upstream life-cycle phases according to financial criteria, and overlooking the portfolio alignment to enterprise strateg

Abstract:

Resource risk caused by specific resource sharing or competition among projects due to resource constraints is a major issue in project portfolio management, which challenges the application of risk analysis methods effectively. This paper presents a methodology by using a fuzzy Bayesian network to assess the project portfolio resource risk, determine critical resource risk factors, and propose risk-reduction strategies. In this method, the project portfolio resource risk factors are first identified by taking project interdependency into consideration, and then the Bayesian network model is d

Project selection and formation of an optimal portfolio of selected projects are among the main challenges of project management.

In this study, the projects were first ranked using grey relational analysis to form an optimal portfolio of projects and to create an expert system for the final project selection.

The article addresses the problem of project portfolio selection in the field of sustainable development. Actuality of this research paper resides in the fact that many companies, in an effort to integrate the principles of sustainable development in business processes, start by creating a sustainable strategy and face a large number of challenges at the implementation stage. Project portfolio management is one of the tools for implementing the strategy. In this paper new approaches of sustainability strategy implementation and criteria for project portfolio selection have been proposed.

AbstractResource allocation in a project portfolio is a complex decision-making process that is influenced by multiple and very often conflicting objectives. Furthermore, companies are coming under strong social pressure to integrate elements of sustainability into their decision-making process, which makes this process even more complex.

Abstract:

The marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) industry is at an early stage of development and has the potential to play a significant role in diversifying the U.S. energy portfolio and reducing the U.S. carbon footprint. Wave energy is the largest among all the U.S. MHK energy resources, which include wave energy, ocean current, tidal-instream, ocean thermal energy conversion, and river-instream. Wave resource characterization is an essential step for regional wave energy assessments, Wave Energy Converter (WEC) project development, site selection and WEC design. The present paper provides an overview of

Abstract:

Land degradation is a globally recognized problem and restoration of degraded land is currently high on the international agenda. Forest landscape restoration and other restorative ecosystem management activities are important measures that contribute towards reaching the objectives of the Bonn Challenge, which aims to restore 350 million hectares by 2030. In this context, many restoration projects are being planned and implemented in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). We present an overview of the location, goals and activities, and an estimated climate change mitigation potential of 154

Abstract Electric mobility is on the verge of becoming a mass market. Major automotive OEMs have initiated programs to electrify their product portfolio. This transition poses new challenges and requires new innovative concepts in automotive development processes, especially for battery systems as the key component within electric powertrains. Battery system costs account for up to 40% of the electric vehicle’s total costs. Additionally, development cycles of battery systems for automotive applications are characterized by long development periods. Hence, the initiatives to advance electrifica

Purpose The management of reputation and status is central to creative professional service firms (CPSFs) rendering the internationalisation process a particular challenge. The authors build on arguments that internationalisation requires moving from outsidership to insidership within client networks and focus on how CPSFs build signals about quality to start this process. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The exploration draws from the international business, professional services and organisational status bodies of literature.

Australia is in the process of transitioning from the project build phase to the project operating phase in the LNG lifecycle. By 2020, the number of operating LNG trains will grow from nine to 21, and it is expected Australia will challenge to be the world’s largest exporter of LNG. LNG sales and marketing activity is expected to increase dramatically across the Asia-Pacific region. But what does this change mean for LNG players in the Asia-Pacific region? And what needs to be done to prepare for it? There is presently very little information available on how prepared LNG companies in the Asi

Abstract:

Project portfolio approaches consider various concurrent project interdependencies but typically neglect longitudinal interdependencies. These are important for exploratory projects, which create strategic options. If these options are not exploited in successive projects they become lost opportunities. This study analyzes 138 firms regarding their extent to consciously manage project sequences. We differentiate between proactive lineage (planning a roadmap of future projects) and reactive lineage (using learnings from past projects). Results show that both practices are positively and indepen

Abstract:

Project portfolio management could be regarded as one of the most comprehensive ways of managing a software project environment. To implement such a management approach in a large organisation, could also be seen as an endeavour that can only have a chance of success if all role players understand the pitfalls involved and how to deal with each. In this paper, a structured approach is proposed to identifying and addressing pitfalls that may potentially hinder the successful implementation of project portfolio management as a strategic initiative in an organisation.
