Construction engineeringConstruction engineering, also known as construction operations, is a professional subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and operations management of infrastructure such as roadways, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project management aspects.
Bonne pratiqueL'expression « bonnes pratiques » désigne, dans un secteur professionnel donné, un ensemble de comportements qui sont consensuellement considérés comme indispensables par la plupart des professionnels du domaine, pour des raisons de qualité, d'hygiène et sécurité, de respect de la législation ou éthiques. Ces comportements se trouvent généralement sous la forme de « guides de bonnes pratiques » (GBP), conçus par les filières ou par les autorités. Ils peuvent se limiter aux obligations légales, ou les dépasser.
Gestion du tempsLa gestion du temps est la discipline qui cherche à organiser et optimiser l'emploi du temps d'un 'individu (ex : gestion du temps ou d'un agenda personnel) où à l'échelle d'un groupes, voire de grandes collectivités. Selon un memorandum européen réclamant un droit au temps pour tous (publié par Zeitpolitik, happés par un quotidien souvent stressant et empli d'un nombre croissant de médias et sollicitations non désirées et difficiles à contrôler ou éviter, .
Budgeted cost of work performedBudgeted cost of work performed (BCWP) also called earned value (EV), is the budgeted cost of work that has actually been performed in carrying out a scheduled task during a specific time period. The BCWP is the sum of the budgets for completed work packages and completed portions of open work packages, plus the applicable portion of the budgets for level of effort and apportioned effort. (The items identified in the Work breakdown structure plus overhead costs, plus costs related in proportion to the planning and performance.
Cost estimation in software engineeringCost estimation in software engineering is typically concerned with the financial spend on the effort to develop and test the software, this can also include requirements review, maintenance, training, managing and buying extra equipment, servers and software. Many methods have been developed for estimating software costs for a given project.
Management processA management process is a process of setting goals, planning and/or controlling the organising and leading the execution of any type of activity, such as: A project (project management process), or A process (process management process, sometimes referred to as the process performance measurement and management system) An organization's senior management is responsible for carrying out its management process. However, this is not always the case for all management processes, for example, sometimes it is the responsibility of the project manager to carry out a project management process.
Resource levelingIn project management, resource leveling is defined by A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) as "A technique in which start and finish dates are adjusted based on resource limitation with the goal of balancing demand for resources with the available supply." Resource leveling problem could be formulated as an optimization problem. The problem could be solved by different optimization algorithms such as exact algorithms or meta-heuristic methods.
Project executiveIn project management, an executive or project executive is a person who has ultimate responsibility for a project, and is a role defined in the recognized project management framework PRINCE2. It is appointed by the customer during the start of the project and usually comes from the customer. The project executive is supported by the roles of senior user on the customer side and senior supplier on the supplier side, respectively.
Processus unifiéLe processus unifié (PU), ou « unified process (UP) » en anglais, ou « Unified Software Development Process (USDP) » est une famille de méthodes de développement de logiciels orientés objets. Elle se caractérise par une démarche itérative et incrémentale, pilotée par les cas d'utilisation, et centrée sur l'architecture et les modèles UML. Elle définit un processus intégrant toutes les activités de conception et de réalisation au sein de cycles de développement composés d'une phase de création, d'une phase d'élaboration, d'une phase de construction et d'une phase de transition, comprenant chacune plusieurs itérations.
Process management (project management)In civil engineering and project management, process management is the management of "systematic series of activities directed towards causing an end result such that one or more inputs will be acted upon to create one or more outputs". Process management offers project organizations a means of applying the same quality improvement and defect reduction techniques used in business and manufacturing processes by taking a process view of project activity; modeling discrete activities and high-level processes.
