O desenvolvimento de projetos é fundamental para o funcionamento diário de qualquer organização. No entanto, muitos projetos nem sempre têm os resultados esperados. Entre os fatores que influenciam o desempenho dos projetos está o monitoramento e controle eficaz e eficiente. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a maneira pela qual o uso de tecnologias móveis nos processos de monitoramento e controle do projeto afeta o desempenho do mesmo. A pesquisa adotou uma metodologia composta por uma etapa exploratória (qualitativa -por meio de entrevistas) e uma explicativa (quantitativa -por meio de uma survey), sendo que este artigo dará ênfase aos resultados obtidos na etapa qualitativa. Os dados da pesquisa indicam uma relação positiva entre o uso de tecnologias móveis no monitoramento e controle de projetos e desempenho do mesmo, particularmente em termos de cumprimento do cronograma planejado.

MOBILITY IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT ABSTRACTThe development of projects is fundamental to the daily functioning of any organization. However, many projects do not always have the expected results. Amongst the factors that influence the performance of projects is their effective and efficient monitoring and control. The aim of this paper is to investigate the way in which the use of mobile technologies in the processes of project monitoring and control affects project performance. The research methodology adopted consists of an exploratory phase (qualitative, with interviews) and an explanatory phase (quantitative -via a survey), and this article will emphasize the qualitative results obtained in the latter. The research data indicate a positive relation between the use of mobile technologies in monitoring and control of projects and project performance, particularly in terms of working within the planned schedule.

“…Type of involvement: consultation, representation, consensus Extend: consultative -> consensus X X Lynch and Gregor (Lynch & Gregor, 2004) Degree of user participation = type & depth Type: consultative (of some users) representative (reference group/testing group, selected users) consensus (working group with many users) X X X Depth: stages of the process frequency voice considered Rondeau et al (Rondeau, RaguNathan, & Vonderembse, 2006) Use cross-functional teams X Wagner and Piccoli (Wagner & Piccoli, 2007) Only involve users in topics that are important to them at that time. Elaboration likelihood: users must both be motivated and able to process information X X Yetton et al (Yetton, et al, 2000) Involve in project definition and design X (Barki, et al, 2001) Risk Exposure (probability of occurrence multiplied by the costs of occurrence)…”

“…In this perspective, who should participate and how should the user participation be applied in ISD projects is unclear from literature. The question of who should participate has not received much attention in literature (Choe, 1998;Hsu, Chan, Liu, & Chen, 2008;Yetton, Martin, Sharma, & Johnston, 2000). There is not much consent among the authors who do discuss it, as answers to this question vary, from involving only a few expert users (Hwang & Thorn, 1999), to involving all stakeholders of the new IS (Doll & Deng, 1999).…”

“…The suggestions given by different authors diverge. Some authors, like Yetton et al (2000), suggest that users should participate in the requirement phase, so they have a large influence on the functionality of the system. Other authors, like Hsu et al (2008), suggest that users should participate in reviewing the system, so that they can check the systems usability and indicate whether the system meets the expectations.…”

In this paper we aim to gain insight into the relationship between user participation modes and project risk factors, and then we construct a model that can be used to determine how user participation can be successfully applied in ISD projects with a given set of risk factors. We perform an in-depth literature review, which aims to clarify the concept of user participation as part of risk management. We then report on the results of a case study in Cap Gemini where we conduct an exploratory research of the application of user participation in practice. For this exploratory research, a quantitative and qualitative research method was designed in the form of a survey and interviews. Through the results from our case study, we gain insight into the relationship between user participation and IS project risk and also determine how user participation can be used to mitigate such risk.

“…Most of the criteria would be measured based on achievement against intention, and it is suggested that the project time and budget could be measured using the variances between actual and planned figures (Rush, 1986;Yetton et al, 2000).…”

The refurbishment sector has the potential to keep growing and contribute to the growth of total Malaysian construction output. The increased number of obsolete and deteriorating buildings, coupled with the limited land for new development will contribute to increased demand for refurbishment works in Malaysia. However, the performance of refurbishment projects in most developed countries is unsatisfactory. One of the sources of unsatisfactory performance is related to design problems. This study analyses the variables that could be used for measuring design performance and reviews design performance of refurbishment projects in Malaysia. The study concludes that the design performance of refurbishment projects in Malaysia is used in three-quarters of refurbishment projects. The percentage of completeness of design before work starts on site was more than 80 percent. The additional construction cost attributed to design changes during the construction stage was more than 20 percent of the original estimated cost.
