Analysis of creation of an enabling environment within the public sector to improve service delivery through project management : the case of the Department of Correctional Services in the Rooigrond Area Commissioner / Maile Jonathan Phooko

Phooko, Maile Jonathan January 2006 (has links)
The study set out to investigate the infusion of Project Management into public service in order to improve service delivery, and to look at the advantage of using Project Management as a management tool. Enabling legislations were referred to, and brief background was made. The advantage of applying Project Management by the North West Provincial Government was highlighted through a reference of a case study of the province as opposed to the service rendered by DCS in the province. The study used a questionnaire to collect data, 50 employees were surveyed through questionnaires over a period of two weeks. Four areas were covered, that is, the Area commissioner's office, Rooigrond Prison, Mafikeng Prison and Mafikeng Community Corrections. The results revealed that most employees were not competent with Project Management, only few have an idea of what Project Management is. The response from participants exceeded expectations, because all questionnaires were received without any problems. The researcher recommends that Rooigrond Area Commissioner must apply Project Management in its structure to render services, and to offer training to the members in order to empower them. / (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2006

Varför misslyckas IT-projekt? : En sammanställning av 30 års forskning om risker, orsaker och möjligheter - kan DevOps vara lösningen? / Why do IT-projects fail? : a compilation of 30 years of research on risks, causes and challenges - can DevOps be the solution?

Allgulin, Jonathan, Hansen, Daniel January 2020 (has links)
IT-projekt har misslyckats till hög grad under väldigt lång tid, studier visar på att uppemot 80% av alla IT-projekt anses vara misslyckade. Det har gjorts studier som visar på att agila metoder, såsom DevOps, kan vara lösningen till att fler IT-projekt ska lyckas. Syftet med denna studie är att bidra till förståelse för hur risker relaterade till IT-projekt har sett ut mellan 1990–2020, samt undersöka om metoder såsom DevOps är rätt väg att gå för att reducera misslyckade IT-projekt. I denna studie kartläggs de vanligaste orsakerna till misslyckade IT-projekt genom att kategorisera risker identifierade i forskning från 1990 till 2020. Detta görs och presenteras genom en litteraturstudie. Denna litteraturstudie resulterar i en överblick över hur litteraturen för de vanligaste riskerna sett ut över 30 år. Kartläggningen visar att tidigare studier mellan 1990 -2010 haft en bred spridning kring risker relaterade till IT-projekt bland samtliga kategorier. De senare åren, 2010–2020 har fokus i litteraturen legat mot lednings-, process samt personalrelaterade risker, något som även får stöd av respondenterna. Vi har även studerat DevOps och genomfört två semistrukturerade intervjuer med respondenter som har erfarenhet av DevOps, agila metoder och att driva IT-projekt. Resultatet av studien är tydligt, teori och empiri är väl överens om att agila metoder är rätt väg att gå. DevOps anses av respondenterna som en effektiv metod att använda för att nå fler lyckade IT-projekt. De två respondenterna verifierar även de riskkategorier som tagits fram i litteraturstudien och bekräftar att det är dessa som är aktuella i IT-projekt. / Literature shows that IT-projects have failed to a large extent for a long time, studies shows that up to 80 % of all IT-projects are considered as failed. There are studies that shows that agile methods, such as DevOps, can be the solution for more IT-project success. The purpose of this study is to contribute to an understanding of what risks related to IT projects that has been identified in literature between 1990-2020 and investigate if methods such as DevOps is the right way to reduce IT-project failure. This study maps all the most common causes to failed IT-projects by categorize the most frequent risks identified in research from 1990 to 2020 and is performed and presented by a literature study. This literature study results in an overview of the literature of the most frequent risks occurred in studies from the last 30 years. The overview identifies that studies between 1990 to 2020 has a range between risks related to IT-projects in all categories. In the most recent studies, from 2010- 2020, focus in research points to management-, process and personnel-related risks, which is also supported by the respondents. We have studied DevOps and completed two semi structured interviews with respondents that have experience of DevOps, agile methods and managing IT-projects. The result of this study is clear, the theory and empirics are aligned, agile methods are the right way to go. The respondents consider DevOps as an effective method to reach a higher success rate for IT-projects. The respondents verify the risk categories from the literature study and confirm these risks in their own IT-projects.
