  • Facilitating Project Management Through Effective Quality Management: the Need for Implementing ISO 9000 in Construction
    Built-Environment-Sri Lanka -Vol. 03, Issue 02:2003 Facilitating project management through effective quality management: the need for implementing ISO 9000 in construction N.D. Gunawardena Abstract This paper describes the relationship between project management and quality management. It identifies the similarity between the recognised project quality management processes and the ISO 9001 quality management system; then it illustrates how ISO 9001 quality requirements could be applied to construction project management. The paper also presents the results of a survey carried out to identify quality management practices adopted by local construction companies, using ISO 9001 standard as a yardstick. According to the survey, the companies had some shortcomings with respect to quality management during the construction stage. The results indicate that the lack of proper quality management could, in turn, affect the project management adversely; this point is supported by the Project Management Process Maturity Model, which is a quality improvement model that uses five levels to determine the relative maturity of any organisation and its ability to achieve cost and schedule objectives of a project. Finally, the paper suggests that the quality managements systems based on ISO 9000 could be very effective in facilitating the project management efforts in the construction industry. Introduction A project can be defined as a complex, non-routine, parties must have mutual understanding as to what one-time effort limited by time, budget, resources and services are to be provided by the contractor in return performance specifications (Gray and Larson, 2000). for the agreed consideration; this usually is ensured by Project Management is the application of knowledge, a set of documents such as drawings and specifications skills, tools and techniques to project activities in order that define the scope and the performance aspects of to meet or exceed stakeholder need and expectations the product.

  • Influence of ISO 9001 Certification on Project Management Performance in Software Industry
    European Online Journal of Natural and Social Sciences 2018; www.european-science.com Vol. 7, No.3(s) Special Issue on Contemporary Research in Social Sciences ISSN 1805-3602 Influence of ISO 9001 certification on project management performance in software industry Anum Safder*, Samina Yousaf Comsats Institute of Information Technology, Lahore, Pakistan *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract For the success of software projects, the Project Management is considered as an important tool. Organizations can understand Project Management Performance in an improved way if they exercise Quality Management System. This empirical study investigates the impact of ISO 9001 certification on Project Management Performance (six constructs of PMP) and how PM Performance varies for ISO- certified software houses and Non-certifies software houses. Data was collected from project managers of both ISO-certified and Non-certificated software organizations registered under P@SHA and PSEB of Pakistan. 192 questionnaires were used for analysis. Independent Sample t- test was used for conducting the analysis and results concluded that software houses with ISO- certification show a better PM Performance than with no certification. Keywords: Project Management, ISO 9001 certification, software industry. Introduction Currently, project management is being extensively used in business. Quality management and project management are two interlinked terms and can be described in similar manner. The situation in which there is a strong influence of repetitious processes, the quality management is most successful field. In reference to the project management process, how to conduct a project is a scenario where there is a very vivid effect of QM which is slightly ignored or a limited focus is paid on its effect by academic professional.

Inês (Instituição 3) As Instituições têm necessariamente que transmitir uma boa imagem e a certificação, como tal, tua como um “cartão-de-visita” que dá confiança. Laura (Instituição 4) Aumenta a credibilidade. Eu sou portuguesa posso andar no espaço Schengen e posso viajar pela Europa fora com o meu cartão de cidadã. Verdade? É a mesma coisa, sim. Laura (Instituição 4) A certificação é comparada quase a uma “Estrela Michelin”, porque, não é um processo de todo fácil para implementar numa Instituição.

  • International Standards, Approaches and Frameworks Relevant to Software Quality Management and Software Process Improvement
    International standards, approaches and frameworks relevant to Software Quality Management and Software Process Improvement To help organizations managing software quality and improving software processes several standards, models, approaches and frameworks have been developed during the last decades. The most widely known and recognized of them are presented in this document. • Capability Maturity Model (CMM) • CMM Integration (CMMI) • Personal Software Process (PSP) and Team Software Process (TSP) • ISO 9000 standards family • TickIT • ISO/IEC TR 15504 Information Technology - Software Process Assessment (SPICE) • ISO/IEC 12207 Information Technology - Software Life-Cycle Processes • BOOSTRAP • Rational Unified Process CMM Publication Date: Version 1.1 - February 1993 Description: The Capability Maturity Model for Software (SW-CMM or CMM) is a model used by organizations for appraising the maturity of their software processes and for identifying practices that will increase the maturity of those processes. It was developed by the Software Engineering Institute, in cooperation with industry representatives. The Software CMM has become a de facto standard for assessing and improving software processes. Through the SW-CMM, the SEI and community have put in place an effective means for modeling, defining, and measuring the maturity of the processes used by software professionals. The Capability Maturity Model for Software describes the principles and practices underlying software process maturity and is intended to help software organizations
