Hanspal Although it's too early to have much in the way of concrete results, Jacobs tells me that their new Big Data driven BIM (building information modelling) system is estimated to have reduced costs of one $60 million civic center construction project by $11 million, and cut the projected completion time by 12 weeks by drastically shortening the pre-construction phase.
It pinpoints attention to the small subset of jobs that are critical to project completion time, thus contributing to more accurate planning and more precise control.
Based on such studies and a theoretical framework, this paper predicts the following key issues into the 21st century: (1) improving links between information systems strategy and business strategy, (2) developing and implementing an information architecture, (3) implementing knowledge management systems, and (4) reducing IT projects' completion time and budget deviations.
When they occur, risks have an impact on project costs and project completion time (Marmier et al. 2013); so, anticipated project success should depend on estimated risk impacts, as well as on estimated occurrence probabilities.
When they needed to collaborate closely, co-located coworkers e-mailed four times as frequently as colleagues in different locations, which led to 32% faster project completion times.
The results suggest that neural network modelling can be used to integrate managerial judgments and actual operating data to accurately forecast software project completion times.

A critical aspect of the benchmarks addressed in this paper is that the primary objective is to minimise the sum of the project completion times, with the usual makespan minimisation as a secondary objective.
Also, project completion time is considered as the main output.
The proposed methodology is also applied to obtain the project completion time distribution in dynamic PERT networks.
The objective functions are the project direct cost (to be minimized), the mean of the project completion time (min), the variance of the project completion time (min), and the probability that the project completion time does not exceed a certain threshold (max).
