“…The importance of business process modeling in the process of designing IT systems still grows. Lately, González Moyano et al [20] described the uses of business process modeling in the currently most proliferated agile software development projects. In the model, the Integrated processes view has been singled out for modeling business processes that involve cooperating organizations/companies.…”

In an increasing number of software applications, the execution of their functions depends on communication with external systems. Messaging enables the integration of information technology (IT) systems in a loosely-coupled manner. The paper aims to show the Integrated services architectural view and two methods of modeling messaging flows at the service and business levels. Service flows allow for modeling the communication between systems/services at the level of sending messages. In contrast, business flows model the entire course of interaction among cooperating applications. The methods employ an Integration flows diagram, which is a specialized version of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) Activity diagram. In addition, the business process task from the Integrated Processes view defines the context for the business flow. Moreover, the Use Cases view identifies the integration scope within requirements. All those views belong to the 1+5 architectural views model. The paper exerts extensibility mechanisms declared in the UML Profile for Messaging Patterns. Besides, the profile has been augmented with stereotypes for messaging patterns for the Apache Camel framework, stakeholders involved in communication, and up-to-date stereotypes for structural components. The methods were used in the integration design of sending orders and confirmations between the business applications of the brokerage house and the stock exchange.

“…Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the tools used to help solve modern problems that cannot be solved by previous solutions. AI can be defined as the ability of an artificial system to mimic the intelligent functions possessed by humans [9]. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the scientific umbrella that underpins machine learning and deep learning.…”

“…Machine learning (ML) is a type of artificial intelligence that enables a system to learn from training data rather than programming a predetermined model from scratch [9]. There are several machine learning techniques available at this time; however, this research will focus on two specific techniques: Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Random Forest.…”

“…One such system is Natural Language Processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that helps computers understand, interpret, and generate human language [8]. NLP can be used to analyze and extract information from project documents, such as project charters, scope statements, and the words of the project manager, to assist project managers in making better decisions regarding resource allocation [9].…”

This study proposes a novel approach to designing an integrated Resource Allocation and Task Allocation Optimization System (RATAOS) using Enterprise Architecture (EA) to improve project management efficiency. The proposed approach integrates Project Management Information System (PMIS) with an optimization system designed using a random forest model and Natural Language Programming (NLP). The integrated system optimizes resource and task allocation, reducing operational costs by 14% and planning phases by 88.7%. Project completion time increased by 50.80%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the integrated system. The purpose of this study is to find a solution for PMIS to be used as an automatic data-driven Resource and Task Allocation Optimization System. The technique used in this study is service integration between the existing PMIS with the Resource and Task Allocation Optimization System.

PurposeThis aims to explore the relationship between the agile methods barriers in large-scale contexts and the benefits for business, team and product and process, exploring the organizational readiness (OR) mediating role.Design/methodology/approachWe propose a theoretical model through survey-based research, applying partial least square structural equation modelling.FindingsWe confirmed that OR mediating effect on the relationship between agile methods barriers and team benefits. We operationalized OR in a broader context that embeds the strategic alignment of large-scale agile implementation, considering variables such as organizational structure and culture.Research limitations/implicationsThe data are cross-sectional rather than longitudinal, which limits temporal interpretations of the associations between agile methods and organizational issues.Practical implicationsThe findings offer a way forward for organizations already using or planning to implement agile management to understand the pathway towards achieving the expected benefits. Our study also unveils the importance of looking at OR when implementing such a complex change in management from traditional to large-scale contexts.Originality/valueOur results show the significant and positive influence of agile method on all three benefit variables (team, business, product and processes). Furthermore, we identified the significant and positive mediating role of OR on the relationship between agile method and team benefits.
