“…Hoorn (2016) points out that there is a CSF set specific to each type of organization, varying the CSF importance in each project lifecycle phase; thus, the set of CSF is dynamic. For this reason, scholars investigating the success of factors in different projects, concluded that the factors are not universal and that they are subject to the specific project type.…”

The implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in Brazilian public educational institutions is considered critical and a time consuming process. Then this study aims to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSF) for the implementation of ERP systems in these organizations. A literature review, where 30 CSF used in scientific articles were identified, has been prepared. Based on found CSF, 20 were selected to compose a questionnaire constructed with the Likert scale and applied to 70 ERP systems specialists in educational institutions, in order to get the perception of the most CFS relevant during the pre-implementation, implementation and post-implementation phases. As a result of this field survey, a ranking of the degree classification "very important" for 20 CFS was drafted by percentage in the ERP lifecycle. This work intends to contribute with a comprehension in terms of what CFS needs to be observed during each phase of the ERP systems implementation in educational institutions.

“…The project-space model (refer Figure 1 for generic example) is proposed as a tool that enables a holistic perspective of a project’s progress to be captured (van der Hoorn, 2016). The tool draws out the enablers and constraints to a project’s progress and presents these in a visual format to support stakeholder understanding of project status and to inform decision making (van der Hoorn, 2016). Detailed information regarding the tool can be found in van der Hoorn (2016).…”

“…Briefly, the tool has two grids: a forecast-space and a current-space (van der Hoorn, 2016). Triangles are used to represent factors that are enabling (or would enable if realised) the project to progress.…”

“…Circles are used to represent factors that are constraining (or would constrain if realised) the project’s progress. For both triangles and circles the size of the shape indicates the impact on the project’s progress (positive or negative) (van der Hoorn, 2016). A larger triangle or circle indicates greater impact and vice-a-versa.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose the project-space model as positively influencing sensemaking in the project context. There is currently minimal discussion of the tools used by project managers, teams and stakeholders to build their map of the project terrain or to make sense of a project’s status. However, such sensemaking is critical to ongoing decision making and aligning action in any project. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses framework analysis to examine the results of a completed action research case study that utilised a tool: the project-space model. Three frameworks are then utilised as an investigative lens to examine how the project-space model influenced sensemaking. Findings The project-space model is found to enhance sensemaking within the case study. Specifically, its visual nature, the focus it brings to the plurality of experience and the need for plausibility rather than precision in understanding. Research limitations/implications The findings are based on a single case study. Further studies could be undertaken to confirm extensibility. Practical implications The project-space model is identified as having a favourable impact on sensemaking in the case study project. There is a need to consider what other tools are currently used or could be used by project teams to enhance sensemaking. Originality/value Empirical, contextualised case study research highlighting the value of the project-space model as a sensemaking tool. Contribution to evidence on the efficacy of the project-space model as a useful tool for project managers.

The paper proposes a new visualisation in the form of vectors of notfully-known quantitative features. The proposal is put in the context of project defining and planning and the importance of visualisation for decision making. The new approach is empirically compared with the already known visualisation utilizing membership functions of triangular fuzzy numbers. The designed and conducted experiment was aimed at evaluating the usability of the new approach according to ISO 9241-11. Overall 76 subjects performed 72 experimental conditions designed to assess the effectiveness of uncertainty conveyance. Efficiency and satisfaction were examined by participants subjective assessment of appropriate statements. The experiment results show that the proposed visualisation may constitute a significant alternative to the known, triangle-based visualisation. The paper emphasizes potential advantages for the proposed representation for project management and in other areas.
