Project management is an important concept in business development. Often, the development of information technology or managing change will be run as projects, and managed using various well established project management techniques and tools. E-banking is often treated like a large scale project and broken into several small scale projects to manage various different aspects (called project portfolios), ranging from BPR to make the organization ready for online operations, to actual implementation of e-banking technologies.

The paper describes a possibility to improve project management in high-rise buildings construction through the use of various Project Management Life Cycle Models (PMLC models) based on traditional and agile project management approaches. Moreover, the paper describes, how the split the whole large-scale project to the "project chain" will create the factor for better manageability of the large-scale buildings project and increase the efficiency of the activities of all participants in such projects.

Digital cities have been evolved during the last decade and they have installed various information systems and information and communication technology (ICT) based infrastructures across various cities in the world. Most digital cities are ongoing investments, while their outcomes are differentiated from their primary objectives, and many of them are declined although their deliverables have been achieved. The aim of this paper is to approach the digital city as a unique project instead of a program of projects. In this context, a digital city can be considered a complex and large scale project, while the project management perspective will be applied on two representative forms of digital cities in order to conclude on a common management model, to underline the difficulties of such a project, and to provide with useful instructions that can be used by current and by future project managers who approach a similar initiative.

Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel project scheduling method to enhance schedule robustness. The proposed method evaluates and improves a project schedule according to the results of scheduling simulations considering the occurrence of uncertainties. In a series of the scheduling simulation, activities for achieving project’s goal are executed and the existing project schedule is revised by using pre-specified procedure every time an activity delay occurs. It is considered that the simulations including schedule revision tend to be time-consuming for the larger scale project. Our proposed method can drastically reduce a computational time required for evaluation by performing simulations in parallel using GPU. Through the numerical experiments, the computational time for large-scale project is investigated, and effective reduction of a project delay by the proposed method is demonstrated.
