Project management e amministrazione digitale. Criteri di gestione e misurazione di progetti e archivi digitali

Every organization and every innovation, including digital transformation, are based on projects; one third of the world’s economy is based on projects. Digital-based innovations consist of “multidisciplinary” prospects based on juridical, organizational, archival and technological dimensions. Moreover the project has to use management methodologies: project management has become an important discipline in this context. The project and its management methodologies use a systemic approach for the management areas. Similarly digital archive innovations require a multidisciplinary approach: it identifies a transformation from the pure analytical approach towards a complex, multidisciplinary and interdependent systems. The project and digital archive initiatives have to strategically use the approach and project oriented organization, based on a multidisciplinary and systemic approach: the “digital project”. This approach requires to measure results of the used digital strategies and to evaluate the relative projects. The strategic perspectives management consists of balanced indicators for the related disciplines, through using Digital Scorecard (DSC), digital archive performance named Overall digital Archive Effectiveness (OAE) and the Digital Manager based on an equilibrium of competences emerging from the application of games theory

Policies for recordkeeping and digital preservation. Recommendations for analysis and assessment services

The proposal has the ambitious goal of analyzing and assessing the role and the quality of policies dedicated to the recordkeeping and digital preservation in the new digital environment characterized by a large use of networking systems in the web environment. The critical questions at the basis of the research were related to the capacity of the policies of mitigating the risks of technological obsolescence and improving the access to the digital records and systems interoperability when i-cloud systems are involved, thank to the active presence of record keepers and custodians in defining and defending good and flexible internal policies and specific procedures. The proposal has identified a specific set of terms of reference (digital preservation handbook, interoperability, manual for record management procedures, policy and responsibility). The project group has also defined a survey template for collecting experiences in many domains and analyzed the legislations and the practices in Italy, Spain and at the European Union. Some deliverables of European projects (Erpanet, Aparsen) have been considered. The final results testify a delay in taking into account the impact of the web dimension, but – at the same time – the presence of flexible tools (specifically in the Italian legislation) seem able to provide a common basis for developing in the next future recommendations in the area a s a sort of general but flexible guidelines
