  1. XP: A Construction Management Perspective • Both software and construction industries are “project-driven.” • Software projects can be outsourced, while construction projects are heavy and fixed, built by local labor, having tremendous uncertainties.

  2. Projects • What is a project? • Why project management? • Why so many projects fail? • How can we measure the “success” of a project?

  3. Project Partnering • Background • How construction industry practices partnering? • Initial partnering meeting • Why it works? • What software industry can learn from it?

  4. Vague specifications • Build as you design • Frequent communications • Flexible organization

  5. Virtual team design (VTD) CONTROLS (“Assumed Model”) OUTPUTS (“Measures of progress”) VDT Simulation Model INPUTS (variables) MECHANISMS (“Systems”)

  6. Virtual team design (VTD) • Tool: SimVision 3.11 • A computational simulation model of project organizations • VDT analysis objectives • Can a team finish a project within a reduced time? • What are the predicted effects on project when we change the organization of a project team?
