abstract = {In the following work, we analyse complex project management processes and propose understanding of project management tools as a service, both whenspeaking in software terms and management skills frames. Project management can be offered as a service in different forms. Companies specialized in project management may manage a project for the benefits of third party, using theclient’s technical knowledge and principles of work. Companies that want to manage their projects internally need project management training service and software solution with certain functionalities and characteristics. The solution must follow the company policies in regard to resources, time and cost management, collaboration etc. Due to companies’ specifics, it is highly unlikely that an off-the-shelf solution is applicable everywhere. The service of customization of an existing tool or development of a system specifically for the company needs can be also considered a project management service.},

journal = {Business Process Management Journal: developing re-engineering towards integrated process management},

volume = {6},

number = {1},

pages = {65--83},

abstract = {The application of advanced methods of process management is essential, especially in those fields in which activity durations can be determined only vaguely, while at the same time a highly competitive market enforces strict completion schedules through the implementation of penalties. The technique presented is most suitable for determining a time‐cost trade‐off based on practice‐relevant assumptions. Completion time overruns usually cause penalties whose size depends on the degree of the overruns. To avoid such penalties – or at least to keep any losses low – distinct processes may be crashed by one or several measures that decrease the activity duration. The risk of an overrun has to be weighed against the expected costs and benefits of certain crashing measures and their combinations. The technique presented is a new PERT‐based, hybridised approach using simulated annealing and importance sampling to support typical process re‐engineering, which focuses on the efficient allocation of extra resources in order to achieve a more reliable performance without changing the precedence‐successor‐structure.},
