ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Modern management planning and control systems dates back to World War I in 1915. The development of the bar chart during that time by Henry L. Gantt was a drastic improvement on previous methods. The size, complexity and risks associated with modern technical sophisticated projects has required the development of new methods. This led to the development of the critical path method which was developed in the United States of America during the period 1956 to 1958. Since then various methods have been developed with the aim of meeting special requirements. The extent of achieving success for construction projects, varies drastically according to the application of project scheduling techniques. This statement is confirmed by various studies conducted in an attempt to analyse the scheduling and controlling of construction projects, but due to the complexity of the time-cost-problem which is coupled to construction projects, problems are still being experienced with the successful or timeous completion of construction projects. Regarding the problems being experienced to complete construction projects timeously, this investigation will attempt to find underlying reasons for these problems and to determine proper solutions. This investigation will therefore focus on the reasons why deviations from the schedules occur so frequently, and what can possibly be done to prevent it. From the aforementioned the following can be concluded: An investigation into the reasons why construction projects making use of municipal services are often completed late, although it was scheduled with the help of network techniques. The procedure that was followed for the investigation was firstly the formulation of goals and study area. Thereafter a literature study was done that covered the following aspects of the study: • background of project management, network techniques, time and cost management; • identification of factors that could possibly contribute to the late completion of construction projects; • description of factors in terms of the following: definition and meaning of factors in context of project management; possible reasons why it occurs; consequences in the event of it occurring; possible solutions. Further follows the gathering, processing, analysing of the data and finally the conclusion and summary. With reference to this data, table i contains a list of factors that can possibly lead to the late completion of construction projects. All the factors that, according to the study, have a real contribution to the late completion of construction projects, are marked with an X in the remarks column of table i. When a project is thus initiated, it would be advisable to take note of the possible influences that the factors marked X in the remarks column of table i could have. This information is applicable to all projects in the study area irrespective of its characteristics. This information is also processed further so that conclusions can be drawn for projects with certain characteristics. This study shows that the average additional costs incurred for the late completion of a project are between 13,2 percent and 18,9 percent of the tender price, depending on the extent of the project. By focusing on critical factors, significant sums of money can thus be saved. The writer is of the opinion that the goals of the study regarding the actual subject were achieved. The results are highly applicable to the realities in practice and implementation thereof can certainly have significant results. Considering that no previous studies have been done on this subject, the focus of the study was wider than expected because the unknown is so much greater. With the study completed, further studies can now focus on the relevant aspects of the subject. This should lead to the refining of the aspects, resulting in a more practical implementation of the results.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Moderne bestuursbeplanning en kontrolestelsels dateer sedert die Eerste Wêreldoorlog vanaf 1915. Henry L. Gantt het in dié tyd die strepieskaart ontwikkel, wat 'n drastiese verbetering op vorige metodes was. Die grootte, kompleksiteit en risiko's wat geassosieer word met hedendaagse, tegnies gesofistikeerde projekte, het vereis dat nuwe metodes ontwikkel moes word. Dit het gelei tot die ontwikkeling van die kritiekepad- metode, wat gedurende die tydperk 1956 tot 1958 in die Verenigde State van Amerika ontwikkel is. Sedertdien is verskeie metodes ontwikkel wat daarop gemik is om spesifieke behoeftes aan te spreek. Die mate van tydige voltooiing van konstruksieprojekte varieer drasties na gelang van die toepassing van projekskeduleringstegnieke. Hierdie stelling word bevestig deur verskeie studies wat geloods is om die skedulering en kontrolering van konstruksieprojekte te ontleed, maar vanweë :die komplekse tyd-koste-probleem wat gepaard gaan met konstruksieprojekte, word nog steeds probleme ondervind met die suksesvolle of tydige voltooiing van konstruksieprojekte. Met verwysing na die probleme wat ondervind word om konstruksieprojekte tydig te voltooi, gaan daar met dié ondersoek gepoog word om onderliggende redes daarvoor te soek en oplossings aan -,--..::.:.~.:.:" die hand te doen. Die ondersoek gaan dus-fokus op die redes waarom daar dikwels afgewyk word van skedules, en wat gedoen kan word om die afwykings te voorkom. Vandaar dan die onderwerp, wat as volg lui: 'n Ondersoek na die redes waarom konstruksieprojekte van munisipale dienste in baie gevalle laat voltooi word, alhoewel dit met behulp van netwerktegnieke geskeduleer is. Die prosedure wat gevolg is met die ondersoek, is eerstens die formulering van die doelwitte en studiegebied. Daarna volg 'n literatuurstudie, wat die volgende aspekte van die studie hanteer: • agtergrond van projekbestuur, netwerktegnieke en die bestuur van tyd en koste; • identifisering van faktore wat moontlik kan bydra tot die laat voltooiing van konstruksieprojekte; • beskrywing van die faktore in terme van die volgende: definisie en betekenis van faktor in konteks van projekbestuur; moontlike redes waarom dit voorkom; gevolge indien dit sou voorkom; moontlike oplossings. Verder volg die insameling, verwerking en analisering van die data en laastens die gevolgtrekkings en samevatting. Met verwysing na die data, toon Tabel ii 'n lys van die faktore wat geïdentifiseer is wat moontlik kan bydra tot die laat voltooiing van konstruksieprojekte. Alle faktore wat volgens die studie 'n wesenlike bydrae lewer tot die laat voltooiing van konstruksieprojekte, is in die opmerkingskolom van Tabel ii met 'n X gemerk. Wanneer 'n projek van stapel gestuur word, sal dit raadsaam wees om ag te slaan op die moontlike invloed van die faktore wat gemerk is met In X in die opmerkingskolom van Tabel ii. Die inligting is van toepassing op alle projekte in die studiegebied, ongeag die kenmerke van die projekte. Die inligting is ook verder verwerk sodat gevolgtrekkings gemaak kan word vir projekte met sekere kenmerke. Die studie toon aan dat die gemiddelde addisionele kostes as gevolg van die laat voltooiing van 'n projek, tussen 13,2 persent en 18,9 persent van die tenderbedrag beloop, afhangende van die omvang van die projek. Deur dus te fokus op die kritieke faktore, kan aansienlike bedrae geld bespaar word. Die skrywer is van mening dat die doelwitte van die studie aangaande dié aktuele onderwerp bereik is. Die resultate is hoogs van toepassing op die realiteite in die praktyk, en die toepassing daarvan kan beslis noemenswaardige resultate tot gevolg hê. Aangesien daar nie voorheen studies gedoen is oor die onderwerp nie, was die fokus van die studie breër as wat verwag is, omdat die onbekende soveel groter is. Met die studie voltooi, kan daar nou deur verdere studies gefokus word op die relevante aspekte van die onderwerp. Dit behoort te lei tot 'n verfyning van die aspekte, en gevolglik 'n meer praktiese toepassing van die resultate.

Full textI dagens ombytliga samhälle har det blivit allt vanligare att företag skapar projekt. Kunskapen kring området har dock inte hunnit med i utvecklingstakten vilket har gjort att många projekt misslyckas. En viktig faktor är projektledaren som påverkar projektet på många plan vilket gör att både projektledarens arbetssätt samt motivation spelar in. Det är just dessa två eller närmare bestämt projektmetoden och projektledarens motivation samt relationen mellan dem som den här studien kommer atttitta närmare på. För att göra det såhar studien utgått från en teori om motivation som heter Vrooms förväntansteorin. Syftet med studien är att skapa en ökad förståelse för projektmetodenoch hur den kan påverkas av motivationen. En kvalitativ studie där intervjuer med fyra projektledare har gjorts vilka resulterade i att samband mellan både de olika variablerna i förväntansteorin kunde hittas och samband i hur dessa påverkar projektmetoden. Utifrån resultaten drar studien slutsatsen att motivationen kanpåverka hur projektledaren använder projektmetoden via de olika variablerna i förväntansteorin.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to get a view of how music teachers in the Swedish music schools experience projects where different art subjects are integrated with each other and to see if these projects can facilitate that more people get included in these schools. In order to achieve this purpose, the study is based on the following research questions: In what ways does music teachers experience subject integrated projects in the Swedish music schools?, In what way can subject integrated projects facilitate that more people get included in the Swedish music schools according to music teachers? The theoretical foundation of the study is interpretivism and the philosophical perspective is phenomenology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three music teachers whom where all working in one music school each. The result is presented in two overall themes. Resources and motivation for creative work is the first theme. The second theme is Social interaction. The result reveal that the experience the music teachers describes when it comes to subject integrated projects and the work with including more people to the music schools are quite similar too each other. The experience is however different within the teachers answes when it comes to the possibility and the motivation to participate or lead a subject integrated project. The result reveal that possibilities and motivation is affected by resources and the cooperation in between colleges.

Full textBackground and problem: Projects are usually characterized by insufficient goal fulfillment, regarding time, cost and quality for example. This can also be found in construction and infrastructure projects, which are important for society's opportunities for communication and transport. The fact that infrastructure projects, which are carried out by the public authority Trafikverket, do not achieve their goals, results in delays and that tax money is not used to the maximum. This also indicates that the projects are difficult to manage on the basis of the changing conditions and risks that characterize the project type, which makes it relevant to study the subject further. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to increase the knowledge of how management is used in road projects with a focus on conditions and risks. This is accomplished by describing how Trafikverkets process is managed in road projects and identifying and analyzing conditions and risks that can affect the projects. Method: The study is a qualitative multi-case study within Trafikverket. The theoretical material has been obtained from scientific articles, literature and reports. The empirical material was collected through a snowball selection in which eight respondents were included. In total, eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted. Web pages and documents are also part of the empirically collected material. In conducting the study, we included research ethical considerations and quality criteria, with the aim of increasing its reliability, credibility, confirmation and transferability. Conclusion: The study finds that road projects are managed based on a version of the stage-gate model and that there are also elements of the agile method regarding risk management. The three dimensions in the iron triangle time, cost and quality are a focus within road projects, but the quality dimension is described as content. In addition to the iron triangle consisting of an internal dependency, there is also an external influence on other projects. This means that one project's control triangle has an impact on another project's dimensions, which is a theoretical contribution that the study illustrated. A total of eight conditions, six risks and eight factors were also identified, which are considered to be both conditions and risks in road projects. All of these conditions and risks are managed. It is stated that these affect each other, which their management should take into account. Overall, it is determined that the management of road projects is complex due to these relationships and the occurrence of unpredictable events. This contributes to a practical and theoretical knowledge of the management with regard to the conditions and risks as these have been studied in conjunction with each other.

Full textBakgrund: En stor del av projekten som genomförs överskrider de ramar som finns vad gäller budget, tid och kvalitetsspecifikationer. De problem som uppstår vid ekonomistyrning av projekt kan troligtvis till viss del härledas till att projekt genomförs i olika miljöer och således utsätts för olika grad av osäkerhet. Detta, i kombination med varje projekts unikhet, leder till antagandet att alla projekt inte kan styras på samma sätt, utan istället måste sannolikt ekonomistyrningen anpassas till det enskilda projektets förutsättningar.
Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva och analysera hur ekonomistyrningen utformas samt även hur den bör utformas i projekt som kännetecknas av olika grad av osäkerhet.
Genomförande: Undersökningen genomfördes i form av en fallstudie och den empiriska informationen samlades in genom fyra intervjuer på lika många företag som arbetar med olika sorters projekt. De undersökta projekten är ett implementeringsprojekt, ett byggprojekt och två utvecklingsprojekt.
Resultat: Vi har konstaterat att implementeringsprojektet uppvisar minst osäkerheter medan utvecklingsprojekten är mest osäkra och även oförutsägbara. Den främsta osäkerheten i samtliga projekt kan härledas till kunden och dennes preferenser. Vidare skiljer sig ekonomistyrningen åt i de olika projekten, bl a genom budgetens och tidsplanens upprättande och användning samt acceptansen av avvikelser från planen, vilket påvisar att alla projekt inte kan styras på samma sätt.

Full textThe background of our paper is that feedback is needed as a tool on during work to make the individuals feel comfortable. This is basically related to our need of feeling accepted and to feel affinity. Research has demonstrated that the confirmation from the outside world is an important part of the individual's selfimage. In a project based environment, feedback is important, as project groups often consist of new constellations of people who quickly must learn to work together. If feed-back could be used successfully, this can have positive effects on work perfor-mance. The problem of providing feedback is how to give it in a constructive way so the receiver to take in the information and accept it. By examining past research, we examined why there is a need for feedback in project teams, what the research says that the giver should consider when it comes to feedback, and what consequences and results of feedback could be. Our purpose is, based on existing research, to examine how feedback is used in practice for five project managers. We asked ourselves following questions: Do project managers provide feedback? In what ways? How do they work with feedback? Do they know how the theory looks about the topic? How do they work to become better at giving feedback? To examine the issues, we used a qualitative approach in the form of semi-structured interviews. The interview subjects were all working in the same indus-try, the real estate industry. Our interview data were processed by transcribing and coding by predetermined themes. In our analysis we compared the theoretical background of the empirical data we collected. A matrix with a compilation of the collected data is presented in appendix 2. Our conclusion is that project managers mostly work with positive feedback and that giving negative feedback is perceived problematic. We also discovered that the project managers lacked a theo-retical knowledge about the subject and that the skills they possessed, had they learned through experience.

Full textProblem: How does project managing appear in small IT-consulting companies and how does the project manager carry out their projects to create successful solutions for their customers?
Purpose: The research has the purpose to analyze and review how IT-consults in small companies work and lead their projects to create profitability for the company, which leads to a good development for the company.
Methodology: The research is made on eight research objects in IT-consulting business and the sizes of them are between 1-49 employees. The research is made with a qualitative method to get closer to the research objects. Therefore the research is made in forms of interviews. The analysis is grounded on a comparison between the research data and the theories that are used in the research.
Theoretical perspectives: The theories which have been used in the research are Involvement theory (Fill, 1999), PAFF-metoden (Marcusson & Ahlin, 2002), Projektledning (Tonnquist, 2006), Jakten på det effektiva projektet (Engwall, 1999) och Mervärde (Grönroos, 2002)
Empirical foundation: The research data are founded from the interviews of the eight research objects, they have the fictive names: Gondor, Minas Morgul, Minas Tirith, Mordor, Osgiliath, Rivendell, Rohan and The Shire.
Analysis/Result: Each study object starts their projects with a pre-study phase, as the PAFF-method describes it. Each study object majorly involves their customers, which is equal to Fill’s theory about high involvement buying processes. This shows that the study objects are aware that they sell solutions that require high involvement of the customers. Four of the study object enjoy seeing that the customer contributes with high engagement and maintain a good level of ambition for the project; this is consistent with Engwall’s theory about organizational ideal types.
Conclusion: The project manager chooses not to rupture the present institutionalism. The project manager initiates the project with a pre-study phase. The project manager is sure to involve their customers. The service guaranty the project manager uses is “problem-free-guaranty”. The role of the project manager is to plan and organize the project; the project manager should also be a good communicator.

Full textDet existerar i dagsläget många färdigutvecklade mjukvaror för att underlätta olika organisationers processer. Dessa mjukvaror täcker ofta stor del av den funktionalitet som organisationen behöver – till ett förhållandevis lågt pris.
Priset för att skräddarsy mjukvara, i motsats till färdigutvecklad mjukvara, efter sin egen organisation kan, speciellt när företaget är litet, vara väldigt högt i förhållande till lönsamheten. Då alla organisationer är olika, och således har olika funktionalitetskrav kan flera system behövas för att täcka dem. Överlappningen som sker mellan systemen ger plats för redundant data, som utan noggrann kontroll kan bli felaktig data.
En lösning är att integrera mjukvaror med varandra för att skapa bryggor emellan och således ta bort risken för felaktig data. Detta är ursprungspunkten för denna undersökning. Bristen på information om hur en sådan systemutveckling bör ske är motivet för denna utredning. Utredningens syfte är att täcka detta kunskapsbehov.
Genom att använda aktionsforskning, som förespråkar nära samarbete mellan praktiker och forskare, har ett organisationsspecifikt problem studerats. Artefakter från vissa delar av systemutvecklingsmetoden Rational Unified Process(RUP) har utvecklats för att ge organisationen ett praktiskt bidrag, samtidigt som ett akademiskt bidrag i form av riktlinjer har utvecklats. Eftersom avgränsning till vissa delar av RUP är gjord utvecklades inte ett fullt system utan artefakter för att underlätta själva utvecklingen – en slags förstudie.
Riktlinjerna, som speglar det praktiska bidraget, visar på ett ökat behov av att beskriva och illustrera arkitekturen hos det system som ska utvecklas. Men även ytterligare kunskap om de system som skall integreras bör utvecklas, detta innebär ett behov av närmare samarbete med organisationen.
RUP kan kompletteras med ytterligare metoddelar för att täcka speciella behov som projektet kan ha – detta inkluderar metoddelar för att hantera integrationsprojekt. Det är denna undersöknings slutsats att sådan komplettering inte är nödvändig i mindre projekt då RUP redan beskurits ordentligt under situationsanpassningen. Artefakter för att beskriva arkitektuella aspekter av projektet finns i RUP och inkluderingen av dessa bör täcka de behov ett mindre projekt har.
Undersökningen har även studerat hur integrationsfokuset påverkat valda delar av RUP. Resultatet av denna frågeställning är ytterligare modell-element i några artefakter samt ett antal ytterligare artefakter för att beskriva arkitektur.

Full textModelos de predição de defeitos auxiliam profissionais de teste na priorização de partes do software mais propensas a conter defeitos. A abordagem de predição de defeitos cruzada entre projetos (CPDP) refere-se à utilização de projetos externos já conhecidos para compor o conjunto de treinamento. Essa abordagem é útil quando a quantidade de dados históricos de defeitos é inapropriada ou insuficiente para compor o conjunto de treinamento. Embora o princípio seja atrativo, o desempenho de predição é um fator limitante nessa abordagem. Nos últimos anos, vários métodos foram propostos com o intuito de melhorar o desempenho de predição de modelos CPDP. Contudo, na literatura, existe uma carência de estudos comparativos que apontam quais métodos CPDP apresentam melhores desempenhos. Além disso, não há evidências sobre quais métodos CPDP apresentam melhor desempenho para um domínio de aplicação específico. De fato, não existe um algoritmo de aprendizado de máquina que seja apropriado para todos os domínios de aplicação. A tarefa de decisão sobre qual algoritmo é mais adequado a um determinado domínio de aplicação é investigado na literatura de meta-aprendizado. Um modelo de meta-aprendizado é caracterizado pela sua capacidade de aprender a partir de experiências anteriores e adaptar seu viés de indução dinamicamente de acordo com o domínio alvo. Neste trabalho, nós investigamos a viabilidade de usar meta-aprendizado para a recomendação de métodos CPDP. Nesta tese são almejados três principais objetivos. Primeiro, é conduzida uma análise experimental para investigar a viabilidade de usar métodos de seleção de atributos como procedimento interno de dois métodos CPDP, com o intuito de melhorar o desempenho de predição. Segundo, são investigados quais métodos CPDP apresentam um melhor desempenho em um contexto geral. Nesse contexto, também é investigado se os métodos com melhor desempenho geral apresentam melhor desempenho para os mesmos conjuntos de dados (ou projetos de software). Os resultados revelam que os métodos CPDP mais adequados para um projeto podem variar de acordo com as características do projeto sendo predito. Essa constatação conduz à terceira investigação realizada neste trabalho. Foram investigadas as várias particularidades inerentes ao contexto CPDP a fim de propor uma solução de meta-aprendizado capaz de aprender com experiências anteriores e recomendar métodos CPDP adequados, de acordo com as características do software. Foram avaliados a capacidade de meta-aprendizado da solução proposta e a sua performance em relação aos métodos base que apresentaram melhor desempenho geral.

Full textTiivistelmä Tausta: Tämä tutkimus edistää projektienvälisten virheiden ennustamisen nykytilan ymmärtämistä (CPDP) tutkimalla aihetta teemoissa, keskittyen erityisesti tiedollisiin lähestymistapoihin ja hakuperusteisen harjoitusdatan valintaan esittelemällä datan valintamenetelmiä ja tutkimalla niiden vaikutuksia. Tämän työn empiirinen todistusaineisto on koottu muodollisella systemaattisella kirjallisuuskatsauksella ja avoimen lähdekoodin projekteissa tehdyillä kokeilla. Tavoite: Pyrimme ymmärtämään ja tiivistämään tavan, jolla erilaisia datan käsittelyn lähestymistapoja käytetään CPDP:ssa sekä niiden potentiaalisia vaikutuksia suorituskykyyn. Lisäksi, tavoitteenamme on hyödyntää hakuperusteisia menetelmiä muodostamaan kehittyviä harjoitusdata-settejä suodattamaan epäolennaisia esiintymiä muista projekteista ennen koulutusta. Menetelmä: CPDP:n nykytilan kirjallisuuskatsauksen jälkeen tehtyjen tutkimusten avulla ehdotamme hakuperusteista menetelmää, jota kutsutaan geneettisen esiintymän valinnaksi (GIS). Todistamme alustavat havaintomme suorittamalla seuraavan tutkimuksen suurella joukolla datasettejä, joilla on useita ominaisuuksia. Jalostamme suunnittelupäätöksiämme käyttäen tutkivaa tutkimusta. Lopuksi, tutkimme vallitsevaa meta-oppimisen lähestymistapaa ja tarjoamme näkemyksiä sen suunnitteluun ja ehdotamme vaihtoehtoista, toistuvaa datan valintamenetelmää. Tulokset: Kirjallisuuskatsaus paljastaa CPDP:n heikomman suorituskyvyn verrattuna projektinsisäisten virheiden ennustamisen (WPDP) malleihin ja tarjoaa joukon primaaritutkimuksia, joita voidaan käyttää perustana myöhemmälle tutkimukselle. Ehdottamamme datan valintamenetelmät puoltavat hakuperusteisten menetelmiä niiden paremman tehokkuuden ja suorituskyvyn vuoksi. Tunnistimme potentiaalisia tehokuuteen vaikuttavia tekijöitä tutkivien tutkimusten avulla ja ehdotimme metodeja parempien CPDP mallien luomiseksi. Johtopäätökset: Viime vuosikymmenten aikana kirjallisuudessa esitellyt lukuisat menetelmät ovat edistäneet alaa ja hankittu tieto ja työkalut soveltuvat monille samanlaisille alueille ja voivat toimia myös osana akateemisia opetussuunnitelmia. Tutkimuksen tulevat linjaukset voivat sisältää validointiin paremmin soveltuvan datan haun, paremmat ominaisuuksien valintatekniikat, hakuperusteisten mallien parametrien hienosäädön, oppijoiden hyper-parametrien hienosäädön, tutkimuksen useiden optimoinnin lähteiden vaikutuksista (oppija, esiintymät, ominaisuudet) ja luokan epätasapaino-ongelman vaikutuksesta

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to investigate how pedagogical drama is affected when temporary appearing in schools through the art project Skapande skola initiated by the Swedish government. The dissertation examines how the process of drama pedagogy is being exposed and used within some of the projects of Skapande skola. By using theory of social constructivism a Critical discourse analysis I carried out in order to expose how pedagogical drama is constructed within the frames of Skapande skola. The subjects of research are texts produced by the Swedish government and interviews with drama practitioners with experience of working with Skapande skola. The result is discussed by using a power perspective with the support of Fairclough’s model of Critical discourse analysis as well as Tönnier’s theoretical ideas of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. The study unfolds that Skapande Skola and pedagogical drama have learning as a key component. It is within the social practice that Skapande skola and pedagogical drama may enter a power struggle, as there could be a disagreement on how learning shall be defined and staged. Key components identified in this study defining learning in pedagogical drama are reflection, holistic and transformative learning, accentuated process and meeting through interaction. The study reveal that the key components are often left out when the frames are too tight within the Skapande skola project.

Full textFör att lyckas med agila projekt så räcker det inte med att enbart följa metoder inom agil systemutveckling, inom projekt finns det även en hel del andra faktorer som kan påverka projektets utgång. Dessa faktorer kallas för kritiska faktorer och de står för orsakerna som påverkar utfallet för ett lyckat projekt då de följs. Projekttriangelns dimensioner tid, kostnad och omfattning är grundläggande krav som finns för ett lyckat projekt. Genom att kombinera dessa med de kritiska faktorerna kan en helhetsbild skapas av vad som leder till ett lyckat projekt. Denna studie genomfördes i form av en fallstudie på ett företag i IT-branschen. Syftet med studien var att utifrån Chow och Cao’s [1] kartläggning av kritiska faktorer tillsammans med projekttriangelns dimensioner, undersöka vilka och till vilken grad fallföretaget uppfyller dessa kriterier och attribut. Resultatet användes sedan till att föreslå förbättringsförslag för att kunna åtgärda identifierade brister. Undersökningen genomfördes med en kvalitativ ansats där data har samlats in genom intervjuer med personer som arbetar på företaget. Genom analys och bearbetning av insamlat underlag kunde en sammanställning tas fram för hur fallföretaget förhåller sig till de kritiska faktorerna och projekttriangelns tre dimensioner. Resultatet visar att det gick att identifiera områden där fallföretaget inte uppfyller alla kritiska faktorer. För samtliga brister har förslag på åtgärder föreslagits, detta för att lyckade projekt ska kunna uppnås i större utsträckning.

Full textA business website is one of the most important channels of communication in today's digital world. It is a virtual showcase for consumers, partners and employees where the company can showcase their products and services, but also communicate their vision and their brand. Some companies also use the website as a marketplace and offers its customers to shop online. Finally, a website can be likened to a forum for dialogue as something that social media such as invites to. Therefor it is important to take into account not only usability, accessibility, design principles and target groups but it´s also essential to start from a company's brand strategy in the design and development of a website. But what does the development process looks like when the client has branding strategy? This is a problem I face in my practical thesis in which the mission is to develop a joint website for two brands that lack branding strategy. Another problem that a web developer needs to consider is how the code can be user-friendly and useful for the client to be able to continue develop the site after the handover of the product. Also this scenario I faced during the project. This report describes the background and implementation of Tehå's and BeHagfullts common website. Tehå's and BeHagfullt are two stores located in a city with 13 300 inhabitants, with an targetgroup that is over 50 years and an owner who dislikes a lot of new digital media. The report intends to guide the reader through all phases of the project and create an understanding of the development process of a project where the company has no brand strategy. The result was a website with clear buttons and a lot of images designed to satisfy both the targetgroup and the clients needs.

Full textCompanies all over the world are dependent on innovation in order to continuously keep their position on their specific market. Innovation exists within different grades whereas low innovation, or incremental innovation, can be seen as a further development of an already existing product or service. High innovation, or radical innovation, can instead be seen as a development of a completely new product or service, which is not already on the market. All companies use projects of different sizes and with different goals. The projects might differ between themself with respect to the grade of innovation. This report examines and discusses how different grades of innovation affect the development process within the project. The study has taken place on a company within the semiconductor industry where they specialize in highly technological products. It is a rather small company who is singularly responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of the products in the Nordic. Before the study, a preliminary investigation was made, followed by interviews with four respondents on the company in question. The results show that there is no actual difference between projects of different grades of innovation when it comes to the planning phase of the project. During the whole development phase the projects differ with respect to time, handling of resources, the impact of external parties, the importance of an effective project and the importance of the project to the company. The results from this study are not absolute due to the fact that it is a small company with only about 50 employees. It is also a company within a fairly niche industry. To have the result being applicable within all industries and companies, continuous research and further development of this study is needed where different companies of different sizes in different industries are analyzed and compared to each other. The experience and knowledge that this report brings might be a source for further research within the subject.

Full textThe Thesis purpose is in the context of system development validate the Scrum Methodology. Projects concerning information technology are difficult to manage and tend to fail in quality, time or costs. Scrum presents a new view of the system development. Better cooperation between customers and developers, continuous follow-up on daily basis and extensive communication in the development team are all characteristics of Scrum. Scrum is described as a new paradigm by its founders but has been criticized by experts of system development too. This Thesis discuss if Scrum is a better way to develop software than older models like the Rational Unified Process and the Spiral Model with focus in five factors. The result of the study is that Scrum has given system development new ways to manage requirements and methods to push the project forward. Lack of management commitment and user involvement can be better with Scrum if the model is used in the right way. Answers concerning coding and testing differ between the respondents in the study which makes it different to make conclusions regarding this factor.
Syftet med uppsatsen är att i en systemutvecklingskontext beskriva de problem som gör att IT-projekt misslyckas och utvärdera om användningen av den agila utvecklingsmodellen Scrum reducerar problemen. IT-projekt tenderar att misslyckas och de bakomliggande orsakerna är flera. Uppsatsen grupperar misslyckande av IT-projekt i fem faktorer. Ledningsstöd, användarmedverkan, projektstyrning, kravhantering samt kodning och test. Scrum är en agil systemutvecklingsmodell som av sina skapare beskrivits som ett paradigmskifte inom systemutvecklingen. Korta tidsintervaller, självgående systemutvecklare, daglig uppföljning är några av Scrums kännetecken. För att besvara syftet har en kvalitativ datainsamlingsmetod använts. En intervjuserie med tio intervjuer och en observation ligger till grund för undersökningens resultat. All insamlad data är insamlad på fallföretaget Banverket Verksamhetsstöd IT. Undersökningen har visat att Scrum ger en del nya angreppssätt främst avseende projektstyrning och kravhantering. Scrum innehåller möjligheter för ökad användarmedverkan och ledningsstöd men det krävs konkreta åtgärder från projektorganisationen om det ska lyckas fullt ut. Uppfattningar kring kodning och test skiljer sig åt beroende på vilken respondent som frågas. Det tyder på att det saknas tydliga rutiner i det här avseendet. Slutsatsen blir därmed att Scrum reducerar några av de problem som finns i IT-projekt och därmed med fördel kan användas som en best practice.
