...is used in a project management that involves and describes the stages which are used in information system development project. This life cycle is very useful for the implementation of system development project. The system is a set of components that interact to achieve common goals. It is widely used method of software development and acquisition in information technology area. Various enterprises used this system to achieve a common goal by working together in a proper and systematic way which is useful for achieving the resources and goal. There are various phases which are involved in the process of systematic development life cycle i.e. Planning, Analyzing, designing, supportive and implementation (Joanne Curry, 2007). Planning help us to review the project request, allocate resources and identify project development team. Analyzing is done to conduct preliminary investigations, Designing is done to acquire hardware and software and develop details of systems. Supporting is done to identify errors and monitor system performance and Implementation is a final stage which develops programs and install and convert it into new system. This phase says about its usage in various different enterprises and institutions (Angela Bonin, 2012). The use of System Development Life Cycle in health care institution involves various principal component of a regional hospital care facility.

...Impact of Risk Management in Application Development Abstract: Nowadays, software is becoming a major part of enterprise business. Software development is activity connected with advanced technology and high level of knowledge. Risks on software development projects must be successfully mitigated to produce successful software systems. Lack of a defined approach to risk management is one of the common causes for project failures. To improve project chances for success, this work investigates common risk impact areas to perceive a foundation that can be used to define a common approach to software risk management. Based on typical risk impact areas on software development projects, we propose three risk management strategies suitable for a broad area of enterprises and software development projects with different amounts of connected risks. Proposed strategies define activities that should be performed for successful risk management, the one that will enable software development projects to perceive risks as soon as possible and to solve problems connected with risk materialization. We also propose a risk-based approach to software development planning and risk management as attempts to address and retire the highest impact risks as early as possible in the development process. Proposed strategies should improve risk management on software development projects and help to create a successful software solution. Table of contents: 1. Introduction ...

...Abstract Enhanced quality control methods are increasingly critical for IT projects, often plagued with failure as performance objectives do not align with traditional measures. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for information technology (IT) project quality control, particularly within the domains of project management and performance measurement. The data provided qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrates the criticality of enhanced project quality control in the IT industry. Analysis of alternative methods provides alternatives to the traditional method. Alternative methods have been applied and well-accepted at large organizations who realized the criticality of these measures as new products, services, and results showed significant overall improvement. Overall this study demonstrates that improving quality control methods for IT projects leads to a strong project design—a key component of project success. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for information technology (IT) project quality control, particularly within the domains of project management and performance measurement. There is “a growing disenchantment with the traditional methodology” that measures project success by approaches such as time conformance and budget adherence, prompting stakeholders and project managers to seek methods that will provide a clear analysis of project performance (Barclay & Osei-Bryson, 2008, p. 139). While...

...Product Data Management System ( PDM ) consisting of engineering data management and engineering document management system is vital for the performance of an EPCI ( Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation ) contractor in Oil & Gas upstream projects segment. PDM is used by all functions in managing the projects execution as well as during life cycle of the asset for operation and maintenance. Currently engineering data and documents are produced and managed though many different IT platforms and systems. Due to multiple cycle of information production by different functions, this process is inefficient, high cost and prone to errors. Recent technological innovation provides a common database foundation which is accessible for data and document generation, updating and sharing between different functions. This innovation provides a high quality, lower cost and faster response to project requirements. This application is relevant to all engineering turnkey projects whether in Oil & Gas or other sectors. Integration of centralized PDM foundation database in the work process and Implementing in on the projects is leading to Innovation and positively impacting the project performance. PDM stores all data related to project that is generated and used during design, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning followed by operation and maintenance of the asset. Much of the data in PDM comes from sources such as Computer Aided Design ( CAD ) and...
