TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a situation-specific approach that enables managers to select established project management knowledge according to changing needs along the project life cycle and establish situation profiles as a concept to relate each situation to a management method that corresponds with its managerial needs.
Abstract: Collaborative research projects form a specific project type, aimed at organizing innovation endeavors between industry, academic, and public partners. They've become increasingly widespread and their management is challenged due to ambiguously defined goals and the heterogeneous interests of many partners. We present a situation-specific approach that enables managers to select established project management knowledge according to changing needs along the project life cycle. Making use of thematic analysis, we develop a graphical framework to describe and analyze project situations. Further we establish situation profiles as a concept to relate each situation to a management method that corresponds with its managerial needs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the antecedents of project management best practices, using aid relief projects as the contextual framework to more fully understand them and explore the lived experience of project managers in extraordinarily challenging circumstances.
Abstract: Earthquakes, bushfires, tsunamis, and tropical storms are recurring threats that people in certain environments may face several times in their lives. Aid relief projects carry an acute sense of urgency—the outputs are often critical to project recipients sustaining their life and livelihoods, and to the quality of life of affected communities. Aid relief projects are particularly challenging in terms of stakeholder engagement and cultural sensitivity. So, under these circumstances, what are the antecedents of project and program management success? Paul Steinfort and Derek Walker harness the contributions of seasoned project management practitioners to take a project management journey that enables them to look at project management through a range of worldview lenses, independent of any paradigm.. From the reconstruction program in Aceh, Indonesia after the devastating December 2004 Tsunami to the response to the February 2009 Bushfires disaster in Victoria, Australia, the authors explore the antecedents of project management best practices, using aid relief projects as the contextual framework to more fully understand them. Tracing their journey of discovery, this book: •Explains how the project management mindset is changing by enabling value derived from individual projects to enhance effective delivery of business or social program outcomes •Offers a deeper understanding of the validity of seeing project objectives and outputs in a broader way than has been traditionally dominant in the project management literature •Introduces pragmatic research methodological approaches to readers who may not have considered their usefulness before • Explores the lived experience of project managers in extraordinarily challenging circumstances and indicates how they cope and what other project management professionals in more traditional contexts can learn from them •Explains the nature and impact of the antecedents of project management best practice. What Enables Project Success reports on cutting-edge project management research and is academically a work that many practitioners— particularly those who reflect on project management practice and are open to alternative ways of seeing their world— will find pragmatic and useful.

TL;DR: This article reports on results of a study on Information Systems (IS) project management skill set based on a two-round data collection from IS project managers and professionals.
Abstract: This article reports on results of a study on Information Systems (IS) project management skill set based on a two-round data collection from IS project managers and professionals. The first phase involved interviews with 47 project managers that resulted in identification of 12 important project management skills. In phase two, a survey was developed, based on phase 1 study results, to collect data from 41 IS project managers and professionals. Results identify rankings of the 12 skills as the 12 skills are further grouped into four categories of Communication and relationship management, Resource management, Change leadership, and Administrative.

TL;DR: This position paper summarizes an extensive series of experiments that were conducted to identify best-of-breed algorithms for recommending forums to stakeholders and recommending unexplored topics to project managers.
Abstract: Requirements Engineering involves a number of human intensive activities designed to help project stakeholders discover, analyze, and specify the functional and non-functional needs for a software intensive system. Recommender systems can support several different areas of this process including identifying potential subject matter experts for a topic, keeping individual stakeholders informed of relevant issues, and even recommending possible features for stakeholders to consider and explore. This position paper summarizes an extensive series of experiments that were conducted to identify best-of-breed algorithms for recommending forums to stakeholders and recommending unexplored topics to project managers.
