Abstract. In the conditions of the current economic downturn engineering companies in Russia and worldwide are searching for new approaches and frameworks to improve their strategic position, increase the efficiency of the internal business processes and enhance the quality of the final products. Capability maturity models are well-known tools used by many foreign engineering companies to assess the productivity of the processes, to elaborate the program of business process improvement and to prioritize the efforts to optimize the whole company performance. The impact of capability maturity model implementation on cost and time are documented and analyzed in the existing research. However, the potential of maturity models as tools of quality management is less known. The article attempts to analyze the impact of CMM implementation on the quality issues. The research is based on a case study methodology and investigates the real life situation in a Russian engineering company.
Abstract. Agile project management methodologies, tools and techniques have been becoming more and more popular among Russian and foreign software companies. Though the agile software project management methodologies appear to be more flexible and sound alternative to traditional project management approaches, the practice of agile project management implementation needs more research. The article presents the research on the practical results of agile project management implementation in Russian software engineering companies. The survey-based study covers 8 companies and 35 their projects managed with the help of agile methodologies. In contrast to some optimistic researchers of agile practices, the research findings show that in the investigated projects agile project management led to the deterioration of cost and schedule performance. However, the quality, both perceived by clients and assessed by internal technical analysts, improved after the implementation of agile software project management practices.
The issue of risk assessment in public administration has now become particularly urgent. One of the objectives of public administration in the face of risk is to improve the well-being of the population. In order to improve the well-being of the country's population, reduce the risk of the consequences of the economic crisis of 2008-2010, long years of stagnation, the executive branch has come to modern methods of governance, the bright representative of which is the transition priority national projects. The use of such methods greatly strengthens the role of the state in the management of socioeconomic development. Both in May 2012 and in May 2018, the President of the Russian Federation in the "May decrees" defined the planned indicators for the main socioeconomic areas of the country's development. The authors considered priority national projects, which are defined in the Russian President's message as projects of social orientation. The article considers the reasons for the decline in the effectiveness of the implementation of the "May decrees" of the Russian President in 2012, the implementation of which according to various data amounted to 70%. One of the reasons is the lack of application of project management methods. however, there has recently been an understanding of the need for project management. The authors examine in detail the risks of implementing the "May decrees" of the Russian President in 2018, among which the inability to control the targets of most programs is highlighted. The reasons for the decline in the effectiveness of government programs at different levels of government have been identified, and there is a tendency to increase the number of risks depending on the level of governance. unfortunately, the impact of the risks increases. Among the reasons for the decline in the effectiveness of priority national projects are organizational problems (lack of necessary vocational education, management and organization problems, features of stimulating the work of public servants, features of industry competition, a decline in the rating of public bodies in the eyes of citizens)and psychological deficiencies associated with loss of trust and
