“…PROJECT MANAGER COMPETENCIES AND CHARACTERISTICS nominated by peers, see Long, 1991;Raskin, 1994;Ritchie & Earnest, 1999), for this study we reasoned that individuals with informed opinions about necessary project management competencies would have six or more years of experience in project management themselves. Therefore, rather than identify published researchers who might be removed from practice or seek out practitioners we deemed to be expert, we decided to use the Round I survey and the six-years experience criterion to help us identify experienced project managers.…”

In this study, we explore the competencies required for a project manager to be effective in the workplace. We used a Web-based Delphi method to lead experienced project managers through an anonymous consensus-building process consisting of two rounds of surveys. The Round I analysis of 147 respondents, all with 20 or more years of project management experience, yielded 117 project management success factors, 78 of which were identified as trainable competencies. The Round II analysis confirmed 42 of the 78 competencies (53.8%) as very important to extremely important to project manager success. Important contributions of this study include: (a) reporting on project manager competencies that can inform the literature and guide the development of educational programs for instructional designers and other professionals, and (b) demonstrating the Web-based Delphi technique to be an efficient methodology for conducting a front-end analysis, a core process of instructional design (ID) work.Keywords: project management, instructional design, front-end analysis, Delphi technique Institutions of higher education are striving increasingly to implement innovative programs that address the real-world needs of contemporary workers (Klein, 1999). Further, colleges and universities face growing competition from other educational enterprises, commercial and nonprofit, that target working adults (Graves, 1997). The informed and systematic development of new programs is vital to attracting and satisfying today's adult learners,

“…Interquartile ranges are usually used in Delphi studies to show the degree of group consensus. When using a 5-point Likert scale, responses with a quartile deviation less than or equal to 0.6 can be deemed high consensus, those greater than 0.6 and less than or equal to 1.0 can be deemed moderate consensus, and those greater than 1.0 should be deemed low consensus (Raskin, 1994;Faherty, 1979). Table 4 depicts the Delphi study round1's result.…”

“…This variation of the Delphi method has been used in numerous studies (e.g., Couger, 1988;Ruskin, 1994;Schmidt et al, 2001). As detailed in this section, we followed the rigorous, step-wise methodology developed by Schmidt (1997) for conducting such studies.…”

Dramatic improvements in the capabilities and costs of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in recent years have presented new opportunities for the conduct of distributed scientific collaboration. At the same time, the complex interplay of technical, social and organizational issues has also created significant new challenges in the use of ICTs for scientific work. In this paper we present an exploratory, "ranking-type" Delphi survey to understand the types of barriers and challenges that scientists are encountering today in their use of ICTs for distributed research. We also investigate whether there are major differences in the barriers to ICT use experienced by scientists in the domains of "hard" (natural) sciences and engineering, and the behavioral and social sciences. For the study, we elicited and organized the opinions of 24 expert panelists through an online survey (e-Delphi). A rank-order list of 27 major issues was identified, and ranked lists of the top 14 issues in each research domain with a discussion of commonalities and differences. The results of our study point to important issues for future research in CSSC/CSCW and for the practice of distributed research collaboration.
