Follow on Google News | Call for Papers: How do projects begin?PM World Journal invites articles and papers focused on the project startup phase
By: PM World Inc Featured Papers – new knowledge or research related to project feasibility analysis, selection, planning, launch or other similar topics Advisory Articles – how to get started, engage with stakeholders, accept or reject project proposals, form project teams, assess risks, establish valid baselines, ensure sponsorship, etc. Personal Stories - Lessons learned about the right ways or wrong ways to plan, justify or launch projects of any kind – these can be serious or just entertaining Case studies – stories about successful project startups, including feasibility studies, brainstorming, team formation, selecting resources and other aspects Commentaries – personal opinions what to do and what not to do during the conceptual and early planning phases of projects Student Papers – research papers developed for a graduate or undergraduate project management course or program Second Editions – older works that were previously presented at conferences or published some years ago that bear seriously on the front end of projects According to Managing Editor David Pells, “It is becoming more evident that many projects fail due to lack of proper feasibility assessment or business case, poor planning, weak risk analysis, wrong resources involved, inadequate discipline and other factors at the very front end. What new knowledge can we document to help more projects and project managers succeed?” “Russ Archibald has advocated for a new project lifecycle model that adds emphasis on the project startup phase,” Pells adds. “Andy Cuthbert at Halliburton and many others have advocated for more project manager involvement during early project feasibility and selection stages. And now Alan Stretton in his new journal series is showing that many projects fail due to front end problems. We would welcome more articles on these and other aspects of the topic.” Researchers, practitioners and experts are invited to submit an original article or paper for publication in the PM World Journal. Industry executives and managers are invited to share their knowledge and experience.
