Abstract

Flexible approaches, such as agile, hybrid, and extreme project management methods in the software project environment, are increasingly being used in nonsoftware environments. Nevertheless, only a few methods and no topological, time-related or resource-related indicators or project databases can address projects of a flexible nature. This study proposes a unified matrix-based model (UMP) to consider single-mode, multimode, individual and multiple projects. Based on the UMP, a CMPD is specified to collect 11 existing project databases. In addition, a flexible structure generator (FSG) is proposed to generate flexible tasks and dependencies for analyzing the effects of flexibility on topology and project demand-related indicators. By correlation graphs, the relations between structure-related and demand-related indicators are analyzed. The comparison of the simulated and real-life databases shows that the interpretation range of the indicators is different; however, considering the flexibility, this problem can be resolved.
