Managing an Engineering Project – The Case of a Biomass Power Plant

This report has been constructed to describe the comprehensive process in creating a “Project Plan” for the above titled “Biomass Power Plant.” We address in this breakdown the project management tasks, tools, and methods used, in addition to discuss and compare other commonly used project planning practices and techniques. The report also includes individual contributor experiences drawn from their careers and industries that are applicable to projects of this nature

An Empirical Validation of a Contingency Model for Information Requirements Determination

A contingency model for system development was subjected to several conceptual and operational adjustments and empirical tests. According to the model, there should be a degree of fit between development project uncertainty and the strategy for determining information requirements, ranging from accepting initial requirements statements to experi menting with prototypes to discover requirements. This study introduced a new IRD strategy construct that focused on the extent of interaction between users and developers. The study also differentiated between perceptual and evidential outcomes, between process and product outcomes, and between users’and developers’ points of view. The hypotheses predicted that the degree of fit between project uncertainty and the IRD strategy would account for perceptual and evidential project outcomes from both the user's and developer's points of view. Results indicated that only by relying on the new extent of interaction construct, was support found. From the developers'standpoint, the degree of fit appeared to be related to perceptual assessments of the process and product. From the user's standpoint, the degree of fit was only related to perceptual assessments of the process. There was no support for the hypothesized impact of fit on evidential outcomes. © 1998, Authors. All rights reserved
