Big data is an emerging area of research that is of interest to various fields; however, studies in the literature and various sources claim that failure rates for big data projects are considerably high. There are different reasons for failure; varying from management processes to the use of wrong technologies. This study investigates how the project management framework proposed by Project Management Institute (PMI) can be effectively adapted to big data projects to reduce failure rates. The application of processes as mentioned in this study can help to eliminate the causes of failure in the early stages of the project; thus, increasing the successful completion rate of such projects.

Knowledge generation for Project Management (PM) is a critical modern issue. Projects are a complex, inter-related set of tasks that aim to provide a service or product in a controlled, managed way. In these scenarios, there is a continuous producing of data and information, which is a potential situation for Knowledge Management (KM) interaction. This chapter evaluates aspects and factors on how it is possible to process data and information, in order to generate applicable knowledge to improve project management. A specific consideration is to understand the observation of contexts of huge amounts of data—known nowadays as Big Data—and its potential knowledge generation for project management, as presented in the final study case. A better comprehension on how knowledge management practices, applied to Big Data contexts, can improve project management processes is the main objective in this chapter.

AbstractThe article presents the essence and significance of risk management processes in the project, as the key field for successful completion of the project, in the field of project management. Based on literature review, the methods and standards of risk management in the project as well as standards related to process safety were defined. The risk management process according to the PMBoK methodology was discussed as an example of an international project entitled 3DCentral – Catalyzing Smart Engineering and Rapid Prototyping.

The purpose of this paper was to propose a framework for solving conflicts of mining projects, based on the inclusion of: (i) the alignments to the project management framework of the Project Management Institute; (ii) the implementation of an Integrated Sustainable Development Program; (iii) a public surrender of accounts and (iv) the continuous audit processes by internal institutions and by external, independent and international institutions. This proposed framework was contextualized to a conflict with a specific mining project; however, a generic solution framework is presented. Finally, some recommendations for future researches were proposed.

The traditional way to achieve the automatic execution of project management processes is to develop or purchase an application that executes the steps required. However, in practice, these applications only execute a small part of the overall process. Execution of a complete VLITP management process can also be achieved by using a framework of software with human interfaces, where needed when applications are not able to execute the management process automatically. Certain aspects of VLITP management process can only be accomplished with human interventions. Due to the complexity of managing VLITP, changing the scope is costly and an overview of the VLITP and their state is difficult to obtain. In order to effectively deliver its objectives, VLITP often requires that the underlying activities be constructed according to the principles of a framework. Thus, it is often difficult to make a suite of existing legacy systems fit with a VLITP. The commercial project management market has focused on specific process models to reduce the complexity of VLITP management This chapter presents a framework that provides the basis for identifying and describing generally accepted principles and practices of VLITP. The purpose is to guide the project management team of VLITP in the execution of one of the most challenging jobs in business today.

In the article, the evolution of project risk management processes in the six sequential editions of the PMBOK Guide standard, developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), is analysed. Special attention is paid to the last edition of the PMBOK Guide standard. The PMI approach to the project risks management is compared with the outlooks of the other most well- known standards and methodologies of project management.

This chapter presents the preliminary results of an IT organizational project management maturity research called OPM3® Portugal Project, which is currently underway. It was designed by Portuguese research and development organization Ambithus, based on PMI's (Project Management Institute) OPM3® (Organizational Project Management Maturity Model) standard. A descriptive analysis of IT organizations is made, the case studies selection criteria are explained, and a relevant literature revision of clustering models is made. Preliminary results from the IT organizations are presented and organized by Project Management and Portfolio Management processes, and Organizational Enablers. After the results analysis, it presents a list of processes and procedures that serves as the guidelines for what IT organizations need to improve to obtain a better level of maturity in Project Management. The overall results show that the IT Portuguese industry is strong on its processes and has a good level of maturity in project management.

As tecnologias da informação e comunicação (TICs) estão em crescimento exponencial nos tempos atuais, e a cada dia surgem novos artefatos tecnológicos oriundos da maior descoberta da humanidade, a internet. Nessa perspectiva novas ferramentas são acrescentadas ao cotidiano das pessoas, como tecnologias móveis, tecnologias de vestir, big data, dentre outras, e nesse cenário cabe avaliar os custos em não usufruir desse potencial disponível a todos. Diante desses avanços, a educação em saúde não usufrui das tecnologias em sua plenitude, como também, carece de efetividade em sua oferta. O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar as boas práticas da Gestão de Projetos, como contribuição para repensar o planejamento e a oferta do ensino na área de saúde mediado pelas TICs. O método utilizado foi um estudo exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa em uma narrativa descritiva, que se guiou na análise do referencial teórico sobre o tema. O resultado evidenciou a necessidade de aprofundar estudos nas áreas de conhecimento do gerenciamento de projetos, promovendo uma investigação futura para detalhar criteriosamente cada um dos quarenta e sete processos constante das boas práticas do Guia PMBOK® (5ª edição), preconizado pelo Project Management Institute (PMI), visando adaptá-los ao planejamento e oferta de uma educação tecnológica em saúde.Descritores: projetos, ensino, saúde.
