Model-based traceability

Abstract: Many organizations invest considerable cost and effort in building traceability matrices in order to comply with regulatory requirements or process improvement initiatives. Unfortunately, these matrices are frequently left un-used and project stakeholders continue to perform critical software engineering activities such as change impact analysis or requirements satisfaction assessment without benefit of the established traces. A major reason for this is the lack of a process framework and associated tools to support the use of these trace matrices in a strategic way. In this position paper, we present a model-based approach designed to help organizations gain full benefit from the traces they develop and to allow project stakeholders to plan, generate, and execute trace strategies in a graphical modeling environment. The approach includes a standard notation for capturing strategic traceability decisions in the form of a graph, and also notation for modeling reusable trace queries using augmented sequence diagrams. All of the model elements, including project specific data, are represented using XML. The approach is demonstrated through examples from a traffic simulator project composed of requirements, UML class diagrams, code, test cases, and test case results.

Building Information Modelling : an international survey

Abstract: Building Information Modelling (BIM) appears to be the next evolutionary link in project delivery within the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) Industry. There have been several surveys of implementation at the local level but to date little is known of the international context. This paper is a preliminary report of a large scale electronic survey of the implementation of BIM and the impact on AEC project delivery and project stakeholders in Australia and internationally. National and regional patterns of BIM usage will be identified. These patterns will include disciplinary users, project lifecycle stages, technology integration–including software compatibility—and organisational issues such as human resources and interoperability. Also considered is the current status of the inclusion of BIM within tertiary level curricula and potential for the creation of a new discipline.

Managing the project learning paradox : a set-theoretic approach toward project knowledge transfer

Abstract: Managing project-based learning is becoming an increasingly important part of project management. This article presents a comparative case study of 12 cases of knowledge transfer between temporary inter-organizational projects and permanent parent organizations. Our set-theoretic analysis of these data yields two major findings. First, a high level of absorptive capacity of the project owner is a necessary condition for successful project knowledge transfer, which implies that the responsibility for knowledge transfer seems to in the first place lie with the project parent organization, not with the project manager. Second, none of the factors are sufficient by themselves. This implies that successful project knowledge transfer is a complex process always involving configurations of multiple factors. We link these implications with the view of projects as complex temporary organizational forms in which successful project managers need to cope with complexity by simultaneously paying attention to both relational and organizational processes.
