A management tool for efficient and effective church management: A generic perspective for a macro-congregationThis article examines the place and function of project management as a generic management tool in the church and the potential solution it has to offer in respect of congregation management and ministry. "Project" and "project management" are defined and contextualised within a church environment. The project management process is put in the context of a project management system and of the congregation and its relevant functions. Project management consists of five generic phases namely, project initiation, project planning, project execution, project control and project closure. The project manager is provided with an overall picture of the project management process, with specific reference to its compilation and workings. The discussion in the article includes the management of the human dimension of the project management process.

Innovation and project management formation are best accomplished in the early stage of a project. The project charter is important to the success of a project, transforming agreements and facts into a documented project management approach. This output begins to organize and document a project's need and expected outcomes at the beginning of the project management process and provides a foundation on which to base project decisions. This paper evaluates the completeness and effectiveness of a project charter template as a project management tool. In addition, a project charter is developed for an information system development project initiated by a hospital-based clinical laboratory, addressing the problem of a complete lack of a repeatable project management process within an entity whose adaptation of formal project management methods is immature. A section-by-section assessment of the justification for inclusion in the Tryon and Associates Project Charter (Tryon and Associates, 1998) adopted by St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma USA, based upon a review of project management literature, is accomplished. In addition, a working project charter for use in the planning phase of one of Regional Medical Laboratory's (RML) current information system development projects—RML Turnaround Time System—is constructed and evaluated. This study of project charter components, combined with the development of a formal planning document for an authentic project in progress, provides an opportunity to introduce, validate, and integrate the concept of a formalized project initiation process.

The place and function of a project management model in a macro-congregationThe article aims to provide in the need for a project management model for efficient and effective congregation management, following the shift from a modern to a postmodern culture. This model gives congregation members an overall picture of project management and facilitates an understanding of the project management process and its subprocesses. The article argues that project management upholds the congregation's nature, being, character, purpose and structure. It applies the Project Life Cycle of initiating, planning, executing, control-ling and adjourning. It discusses the tools and techniques applied in each of the phases, as well as potential problems. The project management process is put in the context of a project management system and of the congregation and its relevant functions.

Independent Organization

The Project Management Institute (PMI) project management process groups include initiation, planning, execution, control, and closing. In practice, however, the initiation processes of a project are often not part of a project for budgeting and control issues, but rather are charged to management and administration (M&A) or operations and maintenance (O&M) general ledger accounts. In some organizations, these charges are later reversed back to a project after it is decided to move forward with that project. Thus, only the planning, execution, and control processes become part of the project for accounting purposes; sometimes detail planning is part of a project but not overall planning. Similarly, the closing process group may or may not be a formal part of the project, and sometimes those processes are performed by an independent organization. This chapter is concerned with detail project planning, particularly the schedule and cost plan.

Crystallographic fragment screening (CFS) has become one of the major techniques for screening compounds in the early stages of drug-discovery projects. Following the advances in automation and throughput at modern macromolecular crystallography beamlines, the bottleneck for CFS has shifted from collecting data to organizing and handling the analysis of such projects. The complexity that emerges from the use of multiple methods for processing and refinement and to search for ligands requires an equally sophisticated solution to summarize the output, allowing researchers to focus on the scientific questions instead of on software technicalities. FragMAXapp is the fragment-screening project-management tool designed to handle CFS projects at MAX IV Laboratory. It benefits from the powerful computing infrastructure of large-scale facilities and, as a web application, it is accessible from everywhere.

Rule Based System

The current research has two main objectives: 1) Integration of the system analyst's products together with the project manager's work, via handshaking of software tools used for these tasks (Software modeling tools, Project management tools, as well as Word and Excel files). 2) Simulation of the entire project's problem space subject to organization's policy and constraints in order to achieve best project planning in the given situation. For this purpose, a rule-based system, developed in this study, utilizes a simulation of entire project's problem-space, which is a Cartesian product composed of all system elements (as defined in the software modeling tool), and organization's policy, preferences and constraints, via a specific user interface (see Figure 1). Then the project manager can choose, by simple filtering, the appropriate planning, and the Gantt-chart and all plans' details are automatically exported to the Project Management tool.

The assurance of a good project tracking from the analysis of his opportunity until its realization is the basic condition for its success. This tracking requires making available, the project manager or PMO, of a variety of tools that support the managerial activity and optimize the time available to management. The purpose of this study is to define a project management system that integrates twelve management functionalities (planning, project portfolio management, Content Management, collaboration platform, issues management, deliverables management, resource management, Change management, Configuration management, Workflow Management, Electronic document management and Satisfaction surveys). Thus, final system will integrate, in addition to the key features found in existing project management software, five additional functionalities and a specific additional module of portfolio management to support multi-criteria analysis projects and maturity assessment of project management.

The present study has as its main objective to contribute to the Project-Based Learning (PBL) Method, in face-to-face and/or remote education, with the help of Project Model Canvas (PMC), a project management tool; as secondary objective, it intends to become acquainted with PMC, as one of the existing Project Management methods, and understand PBL’s relevance for face-to-face or remote education. It is a qualitative review of literature; two digital platforms, Scientific Electronic Library Online (sciELO) and Google Scholar, were searched for papers in the field of Education that address PMC and PBL between 2013 to 2019. Results show that the integrating PMC into PBL would make project planning and management more collaborative and fluid, facilitating the delivery of the end product, thus promoting significant and integral learning of the subjects involved. At the end of the study, it is concluded that PBL may be better more efficiently implemented when combined with the PMC, a practical model for the creation and management of short, medium and long-term projects. The combined use of the two methodologies fosters the construction of meaningful, self-directed student knowledge, favoring the development of their cognitive and socio-emotional skills.

Currently, there is no integration among CASE tools (computer aided software engineering, also named AMD tools, analysis modeling and design), costing tools, and project management (PM) tools. Not only are there no integrated tools, but there is also no conceptual integration among software engineering (SE) aspects and accounting-costing aspects of software projects within PM tools. PM tools, as well as costing tools are used not only for tracking and controlling an ongoing software project, but also at the very beginning stages of the project, in which critical estimations concerning budget and time frame are made. In order to have a firm, robust, and accurate planning, project planning should be based directly upon raw SE components-objects, that is, upon analysis and design components-objects.
