Abstract
This paper presents an integrated methodology for managing
industrialisation projects combining know-how, abilities, instruments, and
project management tools and techniques to fulfil more efficiently and
effectively industrialisation requirements. Different research methods were
used during an in-depth case study involving seven researchers over three years
at an automotive industry company. Firstly, internal documents related to the
organisation’s specific set of rules for project management were analysed.
Secondly, the organisation project managers’ activities were observed. Thirdly,
unstructured interviews were conducted to assess the organisation’s project
management awareness and the actual usage of tools and techniques. Finally,
workflows were designed to represent the AS-IS model and the proposed
TO-BE model. The methodology integrates a social project management
approach, with social media tools, to improve communication between the
industrialisation project management teams. Social project management is used
to smoothly increase the projects’ awareness and management within the global
social ecosystem of the organisation
