Integrated Project

Over the last number of decades there has been a tendency within the international development sector to privilege the management of projects in a siloed manner. This translates to projects managed in a narrow way according to pre-defined parameters of say the education or health sectors. As a project manager you are held accountable for delivering education or health outputs. A shift in donor funding to focus on development projects that are considered easy to administer partly explains this siloed approach to project management within the development sector. However, there is a gradual kick back against the siloed project management approach. Instead we are seeing a return to an integrated managerial approach.An integrated managerial approach involves bringing together various technical specialists to work on common objectives in a coordinated and collaborative manner. A growing number of development actors such as Concern Worldwide are embracing this ‘new approach’. For Concern Worldwide integrated projects are interventions which address multiple needs through coordination across a variety of sectors and with the participation of all relevant stakeholders to achieve common goals. Integrated projects are about sector projects working together with the same target group in the same area in a coordinated manner. This paper reflects on Concern’s experience and evidence to date with integration drawing on the agency’s work in Zambia. The Realigning Agriculture to Improve Nutrition project in Zambia highlights the practical challenges and lessons of managing an integrated project.

The purpose of this paper is to present a computerized integrated project management system and report results of a survey on the effectiveness of the system. The system consists of a scheduling system, material management system, labor/equipment system, and safety/quality control system. The backbone system is a scheduling system that adopts a production planning system and a project scheduling system. The lowest level in the scheduling system is a daily work management system, which is linked to each functional management system (i.e. material management system, labor/equipment system, and safety/quality control system). The paper focuses on the material management and scheduling systems to implement a material “pull” system to reduce material inventories on site. Details of material management and scheduling systems are discussed, and a sample application is presented to demonstrate the features of the proposed computer application system. The paper presents practitioners and researchers with a practical tool to integrate material management and scheduling systems for site personnel.

Resumo: A disciplina de Projeto Integrado estudada é um componente curricular de caráter interdisciplinar que visa relacionar as unidades do currículo entre si em e com a realidade profissional. Além da interlocução com outras disciplinas – seus conteúdos e docentes – tem-se equipes de alunos resolvendo problemas sociais reais, desenvolvendo projetos enquanto aprendem os conteúdos necessários para desenvolvê-los. Dificuldades em sua complexa condução levaram à constatação da importância de se utilizar métodos de gerenciamento de projetos, e posteriormente de se dispor de tecnologias digitais que as apoiassem. Este estudo teve o objetivo geral de selecionar tecnologias digitais online para apoiar a gerência dos projetos integrados. A metodologia adotada consistiu, inicialmente, da observação da prática pedagógica para identificar os requisitos necessários a serem atendidos pelas tecnologias, seguida da análise comparativa de ferramentas digitais gratuitas disponíveis, finalizando com sua configuração para uma nova turma de Projeto Integrado. A partir de princípios pedagógicos estabelecidos foram selecionadas duas ferramentas, sendo uma para gerência de projetos e, de forma complementar, outra para organização dos arquivos digitais manuseados. A análise dos resultados ainda é preliminar, porque o semestre letivo ainda está em andamento, mas já apontam para uma maior capacidade de acompanhamento do trabalho, por alunos e docentes envolvidos. Entretanto, já se observa a necessidade de se alocar mais tempo de aula para orientações tanto em gerência de projetos quando na ferramenta selecionada para este fim.Palavras-chave: Projeto Integrado.

In addition to the connection with other disciplines - their contents and professors - it has teams of students solving real social problems, developing projects while they learn the necessary contents. Such complexity led to the importance of using project management methods, and to have digital technologies to support them. This study aimed to select online digital technologies to support the management of Integrated Projects. The methodology consisted initially of observing the pedagogical practice to identify the technologies requirements to be met, followed by the comparative analysis of available free digital tools, and finalizing with its configuration for a new class of Integrated Project. Based on established pedagogical principles, two tools were selected, one for project management and another for the organization of digital files handled. The analysis of the results is still preliminary because the semester is still in progress, but they point out to a better condition to monitor the work, by students and teachers involved. However, we have already observed the need to allocate more class time to orientations both in project management and in the tool selected for this purpose.Keywords: Integrated Project.
