Project Monitoring and Control is one of the required activities in project management. This activity provides the information about whether a project is making a progress as it is planned. It is usually performed in weekly meetings or milestone meetings where the project manager checks the project's current status based on project measures such as schedule, cost and work performance. One of the popular method for project monitoring and control is EVM(Earned Value Management). The major characteristic of EVM is that it uses only one measure 'cost' for schedule and work performance so that it enables 2 independent graphs to be illustrated in one integrated graph based on cost. For applying EVM to a project, it is essential to break whole work to work packages and to assign value of cost to each work package at the initial stage of the project. Therefore EVM is well matched with the lifecycle which requires whole plan at the beginning of project. However, in XP(eXtreme Programming), whole customer requirements are difficult to define and to make a complete plan at the beginning and are more detailed in each Iteration. Therefore EVM is not comfortable method for XP. Therefore in this research we suggest 3 layer EVM which can be applied in XP, and develop a process guidelines based on CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) PMC(Project Monitoring and Control) process area.

Normally there is a one-time relationship between stakeholders in the construction projects. Thus, project participants are easily exposed to opportunistic behavior. According to the theory of transaction costs, a contract effectively influence the behavior of counter-party. The important role of contracts in limiting opponent opportunistic behavior has been academically acknowledged and studied in inter-firm relationships. The purpose of this study is to reveal the mediating effect of the contract on the power of the contractor in the contractor's behavior. Power is divided into mediated and non-mediated power. We surveyed construction companies' employees who have conducted construction projects. Based on the questionnaire response, we examined the influence of the Employer's power on the behavior of the contractor. Both non-mediated power and mediated power were significant for in-role and out-role behaviors. Both non-mediated power and mediated power were found to have a significant effect on the control and coordination function of contracts. The results show that the control function of the contract is significant for the in-role behavior and the extra-role behavior. Finally, the mediating effect of the contract function was significant only in the control function.

A typical construction project involves participation of various parties including clients, contractors, architects, and engineers for its successful completion, and yet has intrinsic differences of interests among the participants during the project execution period. A construction management (CM) services's role is then to resolve these differences of interests among the participants during the project execution, and lead the projects to its successful completion while representing the clients' demands and interests. The use of building information modeling (BIM) is increasing recently among construction projects, and those CM service companies are experiencing difficulties applying BIM. This is because the use of BIM in construction projects suggests a quite new set of operational paradigm. The purpose of this paper is then to review the recent cases of projects which used BIM; to analyze the these projects' processes; to reengineer the design phase process based on the lessons learned from recent BIM application; and to suggest a modified design phase process model that could improve the use of BIM and related coordination operations.

This study is about the system for knowledge management in the Wiki-based project learning. We implement the Wiki-based project learning system which is focused on a new Web paradigm and technology development to grasp the knowledge flow of a learner effectively under a project learning condition. Implementation of the system has used a Web 2.0 technology to easily understand SECI Knowledge Management types which form the Externalization, Combination and Internalization steps. Moreover, the system structure has been designed instinctively for harmonious knowledge use or reuse. As a result of the experiment, we found out that the collaborative knowledge steps moved along the flow of project learning.

As the recent paradigm of education changes to become learner-centered, there is an increasing interest in project based class as one of new teaching models. Universities are accepting this change and aiming at fostering human resources of next generations, who are able to create creative changes, and studies are being actively conducted to that end. This study suggested a learner-centered teaching model which minimizes intervention of teachers in conducting projects of main text contents in designed subjects. This study suggested support system for the suggested model project-based class, team organization method, various interaction methods of learners, and team work monitoring method of teachers. And the suggestions were designed and realized through project management applications using smart phones which are being used by a rapidly growing number of people recently.

This research proposes a new risk analysis model in order to guarantee successful performance of construction projects. The risk analysis model, called Construction Risk Analysis System(CRAS), is introduced to help contractors Identify project risks through RBS and through the procedures in risk analysis model. The proposed CRAS model consists of three phases. First step, CRAS model can help contractors decide whether or not they bid for a project by analysing risks involved in the project. Second step, the influence diagraming, decision tree and Monte Carlo simulation are used as tools to analyze and evaluate project risks quantitatively. Third step, Monte Carlo simulation is used to assess risk for groups of activities with probabilistic branching and calendars. Consequently, it will help contractors identify risk elements in their projects and quantify the impact of risk on project time and cost.

Current environment in civil and construction industry has changed to actively adopt construction management (CM) in various areas. While it is found that exemplary CM projects have been carried out in many civil engineering sectors, concrete system framework has not been suggested due to ambiguous boundary between CM and supervision system, unclear perception of CM's role, and inexperienced organization and regime. This paper investigated the challenges faced in civil and construction industry, and analyzed the strategy that could improve the current immature CM system by conducting questionnaire survey from experts in various construction sectors. The results could provide valuable information that can involve diverse opinions and view points in project participants.

Design-build that a single entity performs whole construction process under singular responsibility is one of the project delivery system comes to take expectation effects of time savings, cost saving, and quality assurance. On the other hand, a current domestic method for selecting a design-build contractor is difficult to reflect the purpose of owner and the project characteristics when owner selects the design-build contractor. The purpose of this research is to suggest a model for deciding evaluation weights in design-build which can reflect the purpose of owner and the project characteristics. This research can help owner to select the best suitable design-build contractor for the project.

Project management is the process of guiding the project from its beginning through its performance to its closure. Project management includes three basic operations which are planning, organizing and control. In particular, the project managers role and responsibility is regarded as the most important part when companies are supposed to work together. The purpose of this study is to address the knowledge and skills requirement of project manager. The demand of project manager has been increasing to perform accurately and share information effectively. In this paper, the proposed course can be used to provide a rudimentary scheme to train and develop knowledge and skills of project managers.

It is reported that the success ratio of software development projects has been only 30%. Many causes lower project's chance of success, particularly lack of systematic project management. Especially, moving on the next phase of project with unsatisfactory outputs can be very problematic because it can cause much waste of resource, time and even lead to the failure of the whole project. Peer review and inspection are some of the practices designed to prevent such waste and possible failure. When defects are identified through such progress, each developer has to work on the product component again and fix the problem. This process is called rework. In this paper, we propose a method for improving quality of reworked product component to prevent excessive cost and time consumed caused by moving on the next phase of a project with a problematic product component. More specifically, this paper suggests a rework indicator that measures the level of rework based on its complexity and severity and is used to choose appropriate checking method on reworked product component. The research also confirmed the method's usefulness and effectiveness by applying the suggested method on four projects.
