Abstract Ex-post evaluation is starting to be recognized in the Algerian different government institutions (e.g., ministries); and evaluation is becoming part of any program or project for two main reasons, justify the legitimacy of the programs and projects, and collect lessons learned for the next similar programs and projects. On the other hand, academicians believe that programs and projects can be improved by conducting proper evaluations and extracting lessons learned. Program/Project evaluation is comprehensive evaluation, which mainly applies to ex-post evaluation. This paper will look closer at an ex-post evaluation of an Algerian highway megaproject based on PESTOL model, this evaluation is already conducted in the period of 2014 – 2016. Considering ex-post evaluation of projects has many purposes and among them is linked to learning and knowledge sharing and transfer. In this regard, the paper describes very briefly the approach used to the post project evaluation. In addition, link it to learning and to other types of evaluations – i.e., ex-ante, monitoring, midterm, terminal evaluations, and using system-thinking approach, and proposes a framework for learning in projects by evaluations. This paper is based on qualitative case study approach.

Full textAbstract:
Project full-cycle evaluation is the process of evaluating the level of project implementation. The evaluation has a clear purpose orientation and involves the entire cycle of the project. This paper proposes a research method for the full-cycle evaluation of power grid projects based on rough set-multi-level extension theory. First, this article combines various aspects of the project to establish a project evaluation index system involving multiple interests such as the environment and society. Then, the index weight is determined based on the rough set theory, and the multi-level extension theory is used to evaluate the project in the whole cycle. This model provides new ideas for the accurate evaluation of various types of projects and lays a theoretical foundation for improving the level of project management.

An important growing trend is reliance on temporary organisations and mechanisms such as projects. Projects have been increasingly used in all kinds of organisations, including public sector organisations, and are widely considered as effective and precise management tools. The extent to which current evaluations are able to measure their perceived impact is, however, unclear. Are project evaluations conducted in such a way that the long-term effect of – in this case the EU fisheries policy – can be assessed, and to what extent are the contribu- tions or added value of projects as a form of organizing assessed in the evaluations? The article draws on programme theory to analyse the evaluation criteria used for European Fisheries Fund projects in Finland. The article concludes that a potential mismatch between operational logic between the evaluation system and the project logic exists. It also shows that there is a connection between decisions made to fund projects and the actions that they produce, but that a clear causal relationship measurement of project impact is difficult to establish using current evaluation criteria.

Full textAbstract:
The public-private partnership (PPP) model has become one of the marketization models for water environment treatment projects. Evaluating the performance of these projects is vital for their long-term success. Performance evaluations can inform the government when allocating expenditures for the operation and maintenance of services and can guide the private sector’s operation and maintenance management of projects. By attending to the specific characteristics of urban water environment treatment PPP projects (UWETP-PPP), this study developed a performance evaluation system and corresponding performance evaluation model comprised of eight first-level indicators and fifty second-level indicators. This model was used to evaluate a water environment treatment and ecological restoration project located in Xuchang, China. The results generated by the performance evaluation model indicated that this project was satisfactory and used the PPP model with a very high level of success, which accurately reflected real-world assessments of the project and verified the effectiveness of the model. This research provides guidance for the government in designing a performance evaluation mechanism that implements the specific characteristics of PPP projects. It also provides practical value for the operation management and performance improvement of PPP projects in China.

In this paper, we present a method for evaluating the success of digitalization projects, namely the Project Successful Deployment (PSD). With the term digitalization, we mean the use of digital technologies and digitized information to create value in new ways and to benefit from them. The existing methods for project evaluation emphasize the capability of a project to deliver its results by respecting times and costs. The method we propose, instead, suggests evaluating projects by means of its external dimensions, namely the functionalities and quality of the deliverables. These external project dimensions are reflected on the project scope, and thus evaluate the requirements of the deliverables, and the degree to which the deliverable meet their quality objectives The method is composed of a set of matrixes, and it uses a structured procedure to define and refine its items and their weights, by means of a panel of experts. It has been applied to a practical case study, a digitalization project of a network of research and teaching laboratories. The method allowed a structured project evaluation, and the practical case study showed strengths and weaknesses of the PSD model, which proved to be robust and effective, in providing a timely evaluation of the project.

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to identify ways for improvement of the foresight evaluation framework on the basis of analysis and systematisation of accumulated experience in the field of project management. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on a detailed literature review devoted to an evaluation of foresight and traditional projects. The approaches to project evaluation in the field of project management were investigated, and the main steps of traditional project evaluation process were determined. The most commonly applied steps of foresight evaluation were identified by the analysis of recent foresight evaluation projects. The comparison of evaluation frameworks for foresight projects and traditional projects allows to provide recommendations for foresight evaluation framework improvement. Findings – The paper identifies several lessons for foresight evaluation from project management. The elements which can enrich foresight evaluation framework are the following: the development of an evaluation model; the extensive use of quantitative methods; the elaboration of evaluation scales; the inclusion of economic indicators into evaluation; and the provision of more openness and transparency for evaluation results. Originality/value – Given the importance of foresight evaluation procedures and the lack of a commonly applied methodological approach, the value of this paper consists in identifying a foresight evaluation framework and enriching it with elements of project management.

This paper proposes the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a tool to rank different critical success factors (CSFs) for construction projects in Lithuania. Considering the current lack of understanding of CSFs within the local context, this study is one of the first attempts to gain an understanding of the CSFs in the local industry. Our study revealed that, for construction projects in Lithuania, clear and realistic project goals, project planning, the project manager's competence, relevant past experience of the project management/team, the competence of the project management/team, clear and precise goals/objectives of the client, the project's value, the project's complexity and uniqueness, the project manager's experience, and the client's ability to make timely decisions are the top-ranking CSFs. In view of these findings, the study highlighted the key areas for successful implementation of construction projects in Lithuania.

Full textAbstract:
Reflecting on the challenges and experiences of delivering a public co-design project during the Covid-19 pandemic, we use this paper to make an argument for greater experimentation with and attention to the evaluation methods used to assess and justify co-design projects. Evaluation is often treated as a final, retrospective, and—too often—last-minute step in delivering a design project. In reality, practices of evaluation characterise every step of participatory design. Formal evaluation processes often dismiss the practical techniques and criteria that participants use to decide whether a design is good for them or their community, however, relying instead on narrowly-defined methods and criteria established a priori by professional ‘experts’. The tensions that arise between participants’ lived practices of evaluation and formal accounts of evaluation can lead to differences of opinion and diverging decisions—and concerns about ‘inauthentic’ or ‘shallow’ co-design. Finding techniques to carry forward participants’ everyday evaluations into the formal methods and evaluations of project reports should therefore be treated as a crucial concern for participatory design. In this vein, we reflect on both the methodological experiments and challenges involved in our effort to find better possible, agreeable and shareable futures in our co-design project “Future of the High Street” by examining the spaces of evaluation created within co-design projects in order to spark further debate about the possibilities of co-evaluating the projects and spaces we share with others. Drawing on ethnomethodology, a sociological school of thought focused on the study of the everyday and mundane methods used by people to organise, make sense of and act in their social world, we argue that such spaces of evaluation are sites where designers and participants create and negotiate shared grammars of accountability and justification of their work together. Recording and sharing these exchanges is one way to better align the formal evaluation of co-design with the situated and shared evaluations through which participants decide whether and how participation in a project is worthwhile or empowering. This, however, requires a shift from treating ‘methods’ as means-to-an-end and toward an understanding of methods as experimental practices that designers and participants alike might use to occasion reflection on how to think, act and design together.

Purpose – In the higher education sector, the evaluation of learning and teaching projects is assuming a role as a quality and accountability indicator. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how learning and teaching project evaluation is approached and critiques alignment between evaluation theory and practice. Design/methodology/approach – The emergent realism paradigm provides the theoretical framework with a pragmatic approach to mixed-methods data collection. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the transcripts of interviews with 15 project leaders. Findings – Four key themes on project evaluation emerged: how evaluation is conceptualized, particularly the overlap, even conflation, between evaluation and research; capability building within the sector; resourcing in terms of time and money; and the role of an action-oriented approach to evaluation. The authors conclude that misalignment exists between evaluation theory and the practice of project evaluation and that this relationship can be further inhibited by a project leader’s perception of evaluation. Practical implications – A series of strategies for developing capacity across the higher education sector for project evaluation are presented. These include the development and provision of: a time allocation for evaluation in future and ongoing project plans with procedures to revisit the project and assess impact; models of how to incorporate evaluation into the research cycle; constructive feedback on evaluation reports from the university funding body; and networking opportunities to disseminate learnings from project evaluations. Originality/value – This study focusses on the under-researched area of evaluation of learning and teaching projects in higher education, providing research-based evidence for strategies to develop sector capacity.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the underlying logics applied by different project evaluation approaches and to propose an alternative research agenda. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the project evaluation literature via conducting a qualitative research applying systematic literature review and thematic analysis. Findings The project evaluation literature has mainly concentrated on the objective aspects of project evaluation and overlooked the subjective aspects that reflect the temporal, dynamic, complex and subjective nature of today’s projects. The authors propose a meta-framework that helps project practitioners to select an appropriate project evaluation criterion for their projects by considering the strengths and limitations of their preferred project evaluation model as well as making project evaluators aware of the underlying logics associated to diverse project evaluation approaches. Research limitations/implications This study suggests that new conceptual approaches to deal with some of the major challenges in the project evaluation field. Practice-based views, narrative analysis and actor-network theory are likely to be useful tools to better understand and cope with the projects’ uncertainty and complexity. Practical implications The findings of this research assist project management practitioners and particularly project evaluators to enhance their understanding of the subjectivity, complexity and dynamics of current projects. To increase the reflexivity and resilience of project evaluation practice, this study also proposes new directions to apply different criteria, sub-criteria and indicators to the evaluation practice. Originality/value The originality of this study relies on transcending the conventional objective and rational approaches prevailing in current project evaluation practices. It proposes a research agenda that pave the way to address the shortcomings of conventional project evaluation practice.

Evaluation of investment project performance indicators is one of the most important components of project management in any organization. It is carried out at every stage of project development and implementation, up to its completion. Due to the insufficient resources of companies to implement a set of projects, it is almost always necessary to select one or several projects from the entire complex. At the same time, one of the main selection criteria is the maximum compliance of the project with the company's strategic development vector. When calculating quantitative values that serve as a measure of evaluation for project selection, various kinds of inconsistencies and discrepancies between indicators often occur, which requires special attention from investors, project managers and other categories of decision-makers. The article discusses the main, fairly typical situations associated with the evaluation of real projects that arise in the practice of investment activities of companies.

Purpose In a construction project, “participants’ satisfaction” is one of the main dimensions used for measuring the successfulness of a project. Designers perform a major role in attaining the project goals and managing project complexity during production. The purpose of this paper is to examine the designers’ performance as evaluated by the main participants: the client, the project consultant/manager and the main contractor, and to identify the main success factors of designer performance using the participants’ evaluation. The study also aims to examine how the economic size of a project affects the project participants’ assessment of the designer’s performance. It is assumed that as the size of a project increases, so does the complexity of the project, which will affect the scope of work and demands on the designers’ operational performance for the specific project level. Design/methodology/approach The Finnish project evaluation and benchmark database was used in this study as empirical data. The quantitative data consists of surveys on the project level and are based on a multi-dimensional standard evaluation wherein the main participants evaluate each other’s performances. The client, project consultant and main contractor evaluated the designer’s performance. The data of the study consisted of a total of 892 evaluations. ANOVA analysis was used to examine the differences between the project participants’ assessments based upon the different economic sizes of the projects. Findings Contractors were satisfied with the designers’ performance in small projects, whereas the client and the project consultant/manager rated the designers’ performance most successful in large projects. This result may be due to small projects are typically simple and less complex, in which case design solutions are generally well-defined. Nonetheless, the participants’ level of satisfaction follows the same factors. The main problems in the designers’ performance were related to the design content: the flawlessness and comprehensiveness, as well as the compatibility and consistency of designs. These factors were emphasized particularly in the client’s low satisfaction of the designer’s performance. However, project participants were satisfied with the collaboration with designers; however, room for improvement could be found in internal communication and collaboration within the design teams. The findings illustrated that the assessment of the success rate of a project was party-specific, which was clearly affected by the size of the project, as large projects appeared to be more complex than smaller ones. Practical implications The findings suggested that there is a need to develop project-specific practices in managing multidisciplinary design teams. Additionally, particularly in large projects, designers should focus more on solving problems and design requirements occurring at the construction site. However, this should be implemented in such a way that this does not interfere with the design activities conducted with the client and project management. While client satisfaction is low in the small projects, designers should focus more on customer-oriented methods to serve client needs better. Originality/value In construction project management studies, there is a need to measure the importance that various participants assign to different success factors. Since project success factors depend on project type, a more project-specific approach is suggested to identify the main parameters for measuring project success. This study provides a holistic approach of the designers’ performance, which contributes to the theory of project success and designers’ performance improvement.

Full textAbstract:
Often when public agencies allocate funding for transportation programs, evaluation of a project’s performance becomes an afterthought, if a consideration at all. Relatively recently, evaluation of project performance has garnered attention as a means for both assessing how cost-effectively public funds help attain transportation and air quality objectives and guiding future public investment decisions. Nonetheless, these efforts suffer at times from a lack of coordination and would benefit from the application of a standardized method. Such a standardized method is applied to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of three categories of transportation control measure (TCM) projects: fixed-route transit, transportation demand management (TDM), and alternative fuel projects. The method provides a means for estimating and quantifying travel mode effects and converting them to net emissions benefits. Three sets of funding programs implemented in California were the subjects of evaluation efforts in which the standardized method was applied. The results of these evaluations are presented, and conclusions are suggested about project cost-effectiveness on the basis of project data and comparisons across categories of projects. On the basis of the evaluation of 58 projects, TDM projects other than telecommunications projects were cost-effective compared with alternative fuel and fixed-route transit projects. In light of the key evaluation findings, an approach and framework for future evaluations of TCM projects to ensure consistency and comparability are proposed. Some future uses of the evaluation data in the form of a centralized database are also suggested.

AbstractMineral projects depict various specific features that differentiate them from alternative investments in other industries. Among these features, one can specify unique characteristics of mineral deposits such as scarcity, geological setting and structure, resource/reserve uncertainty and depletability. Resource uncertainty results in the sequential nature of operations (exploration, development and production stages). Other specific features of mineral projects include long investment - and production periods, high capital intensity, varying production conditions, unpredictability and high volatility of mineral prices, etc. Specific features of mineral projects are sources of exceptionally high risks. To ensure the payback of high capital costs these significant risks must be addressed in the economic evaluation of a mineral project. In the discounted cash flow analysis, DCF, which is the most commonly used in evaluations of such ventures, all project uncertainties are reflected in a level of the discount rate used for the actualization of future cash flow values. The riskier project has a higher discount rate. Apart from being extremely high risk, mineral projects are both sequential and long-term - the first feature means that the extent of a project risk decreases dramatically over time, and second - that care should be taken when evaluating these projects because cash flows arising in later years of the project lifetime have little value. The paper delivers a proposal to apply the time-varying discount rate to the economic evaluation of a mineral project. The first part introduces a commonly accepted approach to evaluating discount rates along with conceptions of adjusting them to risks of individual projects. In the following sections, the article presents the current practice in the setting of discount rates for mineral projects and then a proposed modification of this approach by introducing the time-varying discount rate. In the end, a verification of the proposed suggestion based on a copper project example has been delivered.

Full textAbstract:
Urban rail transit project is a kind of typical operating public project. Adopting the PPP model can alleviate local financial pressure and improve capital use efficiency. However, many existing urban rail transit PPP projects have fallen into the dilemma of cost overrun, schedule delay, and poor product quality. The lack of reasonable project performance evaluation is considered as an important cause. This research first clarifies the meaning and characteristics of project performance evaluation by comparing and analyzing several basic concepts and relationships. Secondly, an operation performance evaluation system based on urban rail transit PPP project of a three party is constructed from a multistakeholder perspective. Finally, the best worst method and large-scale group evaluation technology are used based on the comparison of multistakeholder evaluation application scenarios and evaluation methods. A quantitative model is constructed to evaluate the operating performance of urban rail transit PPP projects and is tested and explained by a specific case study. Most current studies generally focus on the earlier stage of project performance, and this article mainly discusses and researches the operation performance of PPP projects. There, suggestions are provided for the operation performance evaluation theory and urban rail transit PPP project practices. This article focuses on the operation performance evaluation of PPP projects.

PurposeThere is often a lack of accurate performance evaluation in Public–Private Partnership (PPP) projects. It is a challenging issue to effectively use Building Information Modeling (BIM) for PPP project performance evaluation. The objective of this study is to develop a PPP project performance evaluation model based on Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and an enhanced matter-element method to more precisely evaluate PPP project performance.Design/methodology/approachThe performance evaluation of PPP projects in the construction and operation period was explored. The PPP project performance evaluation indicator system was first established based on a literature review and PPP project practice. Then, the evaluation indicator information was expressed through IFC mapping and extension. After that, an IFC-based PPP project performance evaluation model was developed, and a case study was provided to validate the use of the proposed performance evaluation model.FindingsThe results of the case study show that the proposed approach can accurately and efficiently evaluate PPP projects, and it could favorably contribute to performance evaluation in PPP projects.Research limitations/implicationsThis study only concerns the performance evaluation of one type of PPP project. Further research is required to study different types of PPP projects; the model needs to be more efficient and intelligent.Originality/valueThe performance evaluation of PPP projects utilizing IFC extension and the enhanced matter-element method provides guidance for the government and private parties to accurately and efficiently evaluate PPP project performance.

Purpose: Evaluation as a good management practice and an integral function of the project life cycle improves project performance (Shapiro, 2007; Nyonje et al, 2012; Shelber, 2014). The Church of Uganda planned various evaluations to determine the performance of the strategic plan 2025. This paper examined the relationship between evaluation and performance of Church of Uganda Projects in Namirembe Diocese.
Methodology: A Cross sectional survey design was used on a study population of 117 respondents. 87 respondents filled the Survey questionnaires whose responses were analysed by using correlational and regression analysis by using PSPP software Version 1.2.0-g0fb4db. Key Informant interviews and an FGD were carried out and responses were analysed using content analysis and results presented as text. The empirical results were presented in frequencies, percentages and summarized into tables.
Findings: Descriptive findings highlighted that evaluation to some extent improves project performance (mean 3.1), This was further supported by the qualitative findings. However, inferential statistics revealed that evaluation had a non-significant positive relationship with Project performance (β=0.17, p= 0.188>0.05).
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: In conclusion, this paper established that evaluation to some extent influences project performance. The weaknesses included; having impromptu evaluations of what has not been monitored, lack of evaluation skills and knowledge, lack of commitment from staff, lack of allegiance to the Diocese and only local parish focus, lack of having set Key performance indicators (KPIs) and baseline information. Therefore, to improve upon the performance of Church of Uganda projects, it is important to strengthen the evaluation mechanisms; baseline evaluation, mid-term evaluation and end-term evaluation. The non-existent evaluation framework will be developed with informed decisions from the study.

Background: Community-based sustainability transitions projects are increasingly being considered for their potential as policy delivery vehicles for the UK government Climate Change Act commitments. At the same time, project funders seek reassurances that their investments are relevant in helping communities mitigate, and adapt to, the effects of climate change. Despite this increased pressure, recent research suggests that evaluations of such sustainability transitions projects have, on the one hand variable impacts, or impacts that are of an inadequate scale, duration, or type, or on the other, that project staff lack the capacity or resources to undertake monitoring and evaluation to the degree of rigour expected by policy makers and funders.
Purpose: This article reports on an extended case study of a fully-funded five year community-based sustainability transitions project in Leicestershire, England. In particular, it reviews the deployment of developmental evaluation (DE) methods in an attempt to capture the project team’s learning about doing community-based sustainability work.
Setting: A funded community-based sustainability transitions project in a south Leicestershire market town.
Intervention: Developmental evaluation methods were used to capture project-based learning as a resource for project innovation and adaptation.
Research Design: Phronetic case study.
Data Collection and Analysis: Participant-observation, action research, focus and special issue group facilitation.
Findings: Use of a developmental evaluation method identified key learning points for the project actors; these focused on how the project had adapted to the complexities of the operating environment through innovations in second-order learning or learning how to learn. The paper makes recommendations for the design and funding arrangements of community-based sustainability transitions initiatives and developmental evaluation is endorsed as a viable and promising adjunct to more traditional impact, economic, and process evaluation methodologies.
Keywords: developmental evaluation; second-order learning; community-based sustainability; phronesis; action research; project design.

As agile software development methodologies are used in many domains and come with different shapes and sizes, it is one of the complex human endeavors. Extreme Programming (XP) is one of the well-known agile software development methodologies and is driven by a set of values including simplicity, communication, feedback and courage, but lacks the mechanism to measure these values demanding the evaluation framework to make it measurable and attainable. The main aim of this study is to build the software process improvement model that can be used for evaluating XP values and practices. The proposed XP evaluation framework in this study is XP focused and evaluates the XP project, product and practices. The XP evaluation framework is a collection of some new and validated metrics used for evaluating XP projects, XP practices, XP products and some additional factors concerned with XP. The evaluation framework for extreme programming is basically based on the assessment and evaluation of various project characteristics, extreme programming characteristics, product characteristics and other additional characteristics. The metrics used for assessments and evaluations of XP are designed to be simple, precise, understandable, economical, timely, consistent, accountable, unambiguous, suitable and reliable.

The emergence of multimodal old industrial buildings rejuvenation projects is caused by the rapid expansion of cities, continuous deepening of industrial structure and the increase in awareness of environmental protection and energy saving. Creative industrial park is one of the main models of old industrial building rejuvenation projects, although the remaining values of old industrial buildings is fully utilized, economic, social and environmental problems have been associated with these projects, leading to unsatisfactory results after rejuvenation, at the same time, feedback and analysis after renovation of old industrial buildings is lacking. Therefore, it is urgent to evaluate the adaptability of old industrial buildings after rejuvenation. Through evaluating the performance and indexes of old industrial buildings after rejuvenation, this paper aims to investigate the applicability and accuracy of the rejuvenation strategy of old industrial buildings and propose corresponding improvement measures to realize the dynamic renewal of old industrial buildings.
The number of rejuvenation projects of old industrial plants within China and abroad has increased dramatically and there are several known modes of rejuvenation, but there are little evaluations on the effects of these rejuvenation projects after they are put into use. This paper proposes that rejuvenation of old industrial district is a long-term dynamic process and using the rejuvenation project of Shenyang 1905 Creative Industrial Park as an example, the adaptability evaluation index is established based on research and data analysis of the user’s evaluation of the adaptability of the renovation project. This paper analysed the above rejuvenation project based on following five perspectives: 1) external environment, 2) architectural regeneration effect, 3) cultural heritage, 4) social influence and 5) economic benefits. Hypothesis and questionnaire were put forth based on reviewed literatures of the project. Participants (N=200) entered the designed online questionnaire and data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0. The results of the study are consistent with the actual situation and shed light to the priority of the secondary transformation of the project for the continuous improvement of the project, so that the resources can be reasonably allocated. The post-use adaptability feedback of the rejuvenation project provides a new model of project management for the dynamic transformation of such projects.

Abstract The financial mechanism within the European Union that is accessible for environmental issues is a tool by which it is possible to maintain and improve the state of the environment in the Baltic Sea region countries. However, the accessibility and use of finances cannot be considered indicators which mark the success of a programme. There are various evaluation types which can be conducted, such as ex ante to assess the impact desirable to help gauge what projects best to support. Ex post evaluations can also be applied to pool lessons learned to make recommendations for further development. Evaluation is important for checking progress, to further support successful initiatives and to avoid financing activities which do not produce results. Evaluation of environmental projects can be particularly difficult due to their diversity in approaches and applied technologies, however currently there is a risk to limit the assessment of projects to the activity-level (what outputs have been produced, such as number of seminars and publications or campaigns, technologies installed), rather than on the primary goal - specific impacts made on the environment. The goal of this research is to develop a methodology and set of indicators for the evaluation of environmental projects to improve the evaluation of project efficiency, impact and sustainability. Regional Cooperation Environmental Projects are selected and an evaluation is conducted on these projects.

Full textAbstract:
In order to identify the best or poorest alternative project by an overall ranking result in the scenario of assessing multiple infrastructure projects, multicriteria decision aid methods need to be incorporated into evaluating project performance. Most previous methods for assessing infrastructure project performance may not be applicable to frequent cases with numerous evaluation criteria but inadequate observation data. This paper proposed an objective performance evaluation approach from annual field-survey data through Random Forests and IN-PROMETHEE II methods together. Random Forests method is employed to predict performance values under selected criteria as the single-valued performance scores. IN-PROMETHEE II method is further developed to quantify the preference index among different projects under each criterion. By calculating a weighted average of single-criterion preference index, the multicriteria preference index can be obtained to determine the ultimate ranking of alternative projects. A comprehensive empirical study reveals that this approach is able to successfully avoid subjective bias. It is helpful in tracing decisive factors of project performance for practical projects in multicriteria cases. The analysis results have proved that the proposed method can be widely used in performance evaluation of complicated infrastructure projects.

Researches on the method of the performance evaluation of government investment in public project are mainly embodied in indicator system. However, these models do not attach importance to the applicability. So, it causes lack of suitable evaluation model for evaluating the projects of government investment in public project in Low-Carbon Economy. Therefore, this article in accordance with the characteristics of this investment in public projects, combined the gray relational analysis method, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and stepwise discriminate analysis method with their respective advantages to develop a new algorithm——GFS algorithm. Using the GFS algorithm can do discriminate analysis for a new investment project. Practice shows that the GFS algorithm has a good effect. It can provide the theoretical basis for decision-making of senior government managers.

Purpose – This paper aims to review Program and Project evaluation Models. The assessment of the Evaluation Model (metaevaluation) is a critical step in Evaluation, as it is at the basis of a successful Program/Project evaluation. A wide and effective review of EMs is a basic, as well as fundamental, support in meta-evaluation that affects positively the overall evaluation efficacy and efficiency. Despite a large number of reviews of EMs and a numerous population of EMs, developed in heterogeneous projects and programs settings, the literature lacks comprehensive collections and reviews of EMs that this paper addresses to provide a basis for the assessment of EMs. Design/methodology/approach – Through a systematic literature review carried out via the Internet, and querying search engines, several models addressing program or project evaluation have been identified and analyzed. Following a process of normalization of the results gathered, they have been analyzed and compared according to key descriptive issues. They have been, at the end, summarized and rationalized in a comprehensive frame. Findings – In recent years, evaluation studies have focused on the explanation of the mechanisms that underlie the transformation of projects’ and programs’ outputs into socio-economic effects, arguing that making them explicit allows to understand why a project or program is successful, as well as evaluating its extent. To assess and explain program’s and project’s effects, a basic, although fundamental, role in evaluation is played by the EM. A wide and heterogeneous set of 57 EMs has been identified, defined and framed in typologies, according to a systematic review research. Originality/value – The approach to the review of EMs and the definition of a boundary of interest for management and economic researchers and practitioners represent an original issue of this paper.

High-tech projects have high risks involving wide range of links, high expense of investment, long period of development and production cycle, complicated operation system, etc. When evaluating the project's risk, a separate gray method or fuzzy theory model is not comprehensive, it should combine the gray method with the fuzzy evaluation model. From the fuzzy evaluation and gray evaluation method the gray clustering statistic could be obtained by use of grey cluster theory. It is necessary to construct fuzzy membership matrix of risk and establish a fuzzy and gray comprehensive evaluation method, and adequately adopt expert's evaluation information of the fuzziness and grayness. Finally, using concrete empirical analysis in aviation armament project risk assessment, the feasibility and the correctness of the model are verified.

Enterprises are confronted with several project alternatives that they assume to gain revenue in the future, but their own economical resources are limited to carry out all alternatives. Therefore, a decision process arises to prioritize and select among alternatives according to the predetermined goals and criteria to reach the maximum utilization. On the other hand, in project evaluation, the values of project parameters are often assumed to be known with complete certainty. However, project parameters normally change during a life cycle of the project, and it is necessary to consider uncertainty and risk phenomena while evaluating projects. Simulation-based project evaluation approaches enable to make more reliable investment decision since they permit to include future uncertainty and risk in analysis process. In this article, a novel simulation-based optimal decision approach is proposed for evaluating and comparing investment projects under uncertain and/or risky environments. The phases of the proposed approach are; (a) developing the effectiveness measure formulation of a project, (b) identifying and checking all controllable project parameters that affect the measure, (c) developing simulation model for the measure, and (d) performing the project ranking and selection procedures in order to rank and select the projects. Three ranking and selection procedures, previously used for comparing performances of the different production/service systems, are embedded in the proposed approach.

The research and substantiation of the conceptual procedure of evaluation of efficiency of IT projects which are realized on the basis of application of flexible methodology of Scrum is offered. This procedure will increase the efficiency of the IT project, as well as reduce its implementation time. The substantiation and choice of the criterion for evaluating the effectiveness of the IT project, which takes into account the human factor, is presented. Evaluation is based on human resources research, namely the characteristics of project team members. Conceptually, the procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of an IT project is a complex multi-stage iterative process that requires consideration of the team implementation of IT project processes. The transparency of Scrum's general terms and standards of flexible methodology provides the possibility of the expected result. Therefore, continuous evaluation of performance at each stage of Scrum will increase productivity and help to identify deviations at an early stage, when they can be quickly eliminated or corrected. Based on this, we can identify the following main stages of evaluating the effectiveness of IT projects implemented in the flexible methodology of Scrum. An integrated indicator of project team competence was obtained, which provides opportunities to reconcile the company's IT goals and opportunities to reduce requirements, as well as the decision to continue research by expanding existing options or synthesis of new options with appropriate variation of indicators, weights, composition of elements. Conclusions are made about the possibility of applying the research in the development of an intelligent system for evaluating the effectiveness of the IT project based on determining the level of competence of project team members, which will reduce project implementation time and increase IT project efficiency.

AbstractCollaborative archaeology is a growing field within the discipline, albeit one that is rarely analyzed. Although collaborative approaches are varied and diverse, we argue that they can all share a single methodological framework. Moreover, we suggest that collaborative archaeology projects can be evaluated to determine the variety among projects and to identify the elements of engaged research. We provide two case studies emphasizing project evaluation: (1) inter-project evaluation of community-engagement in British Columbia archaeology and (2) intra-project evaluation of co-management archaeology projects in Western Australia. The two case studies highlight that project evaluation is possible and that a single framework can be applied to many different types of projects. Collaborative archaeology requires analysis and evaluation to determine what facilitates engagement to further the discipline and to create better connections between archaeologists and community members. The discussed case studies illustrate two shared methods for accomplishing this. The paper argues that collaborative approaches are necessary for advancing archaeological practice.

Purpose The construction industry needs effective methods for gathering and utilizing performance information on industry, company and individual project levels. Such benchmarking (BM) information can be collected from project participants’ bi-directional evaluations of each other’s performance during construction projects. The purpose of this paper is to present the method and discuss the features of a multi-company project evaluation system as a BM tool. Also the accumulated results, based on the extensive BM database in the Finnish construction industry, are investigated. Design/methodology/approach The web-based project evaluation tool was established in 2007 as a joint research project between the Helsinki University of Technology, construction organizations and main associations widely representing the construction industry in Finland. The evaluation method is based on soft, subjective measures, such as client satisfaction and project participants’ satisfaction. The empirical observations of the study are based on over 5,500 evaluations during which the BM system was used in the Finnish construction industry. Findings The use of the evaluation is presented as a multi-level BM tool to evaluate the performance of different discipline groups on project, company and industry levels. The Finnish case shows an example of the industry-level performance BMs of project consultants, main contractors, sub-contractors and architects/designers. The BM categories include project management, staff, collaboration and project goal accomplishment. According to the results, the participants are satisfied with each other’s performance. However, main development targets in the Finnish industry are related to risk management and managing design. Also, the development of sub-contractors’ selection procedures will contribute to the performance of the industry. Research limitations/implications The industry-level feedback is linked to the Finnish construction industry. Similar studies in other countries would enable international comparisons. Practical implications Client satisfaction and project participants’ satisfaction have been identified as one of the key factors affecting project success.
