Reference class forecasting (RCF) offers a potential remedy. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the RCF literature with the aim of providing practitioners with key insights and identifying areas for future research. Through a review of 41 selected papers, the paper shows that the effectiveness of RCF is mainly applicable to large-scale projects and depends on the definition of the reference class. The paper calls for the development of an empirically based framework for reference class formation and urges the exploration of RCF's adaptability across industries, challenging the current one-size-fits-all approach. Theoretically, the paper critically assesses the current applications of RCF, while practically it outlines directions for future research and improvements. Overall, the study emphasises the need for detailed, data-driven methodologies and highlights their potential for risk management in projects worldwide.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721523000248/pdfft?md5=a5aa9160c6ce14c9fc9ee6a96df69a2d&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721523000248-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134657199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But how might project management supported by blockchain technology look like? And how would such a new form change and affect traditional project management? Not many concepts have been designed or even implemented yet. We chose an experimental framework to answer the first aspects of these questions. We developed a Decentralized Autonomous Project Organization (DAPO) and conducted an experiment to study the impact of blockchain on traditional project management. We show that such a blockchain-based approach can support the management of simple projects. Further, a fair and clear incentive scheme seems crucial and influences the way team members engage in the work. Also, more decentralized project management increases the importance of social aspects-related project management principles such as teamwork, self-organization, and cultural aspects, while principles related to budget, objectives, and schedule remain unchanged.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100102"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721523000236/pdfft?md5=5754bb2c2ad70832c1bd27ae1eb6695c&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721523000236-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72250092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study's objective was to analyze the content and structure of a project plan prepared by this disruptive new technology and its human counterpart, focusing on the digital technology sector. Through a primarily qualitative methodology, the study scrutinizes critical aspects of each part of the project plan, including scope preparation, schedule development, cost estimation, resources evaluation, quality planning, stakeholder mapping, communication planning, and risk analysis. The results indicate unique strengths and weaknesses for both AI-generated and human-generated project plans, revealing them as complementary in the project planning process. It also emphasizes the continued importance of human expertise in refining AI outputs and harnessing the full potential of AI through the process known as prompt engineering. In conclusion, this study illustrates the potential synergy between human experience and AI in project planning, suggesting the careful integration of human and AI capabilities is key to developing robust and trustworthy project plans.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721523000224/pdfft?md5=9b041fb03bffa281f217d4589cc4851d&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721523000224-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92046266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A serious ramification of the pandemic on the construction industry was an increase in the number of project schedule delays that affected a multitude of projects around the world. Although the current literature explores the factors that cause project schedule delays, little research is available on the impact of variables, such as the size of the industry, type of project, and category of the organization, on the delays. This study used a four-step approach to address this knowledge gap by performing a comprehensive literature search, developing a survey, distributing the survey online, and conducting a quantitative analysis of the responses. The study's findings revealed that the factors contributing to project schedule overruns during the pandemic were diverse and differed with the variables cited above. Distinct differences were observed in areas such as procurement of materials and changes in material specifications and prices. This research sheds light on the multifaceted nature of the variables that impacted construction project schedules during the COVID-19 pandemic and provides valuable insights for industry stakeholders as they seek to establish effective strategies that will minimize risks and enhance project delivery during future periods of crisis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49896814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
