The evolution of project management methodologies reflects the increasing complexity and diversity of modern industries. Traditional project management approaches, rooted in sequential planning and control, have long been the cornerstone of project execution. However, as industries face rapid technological change and evolving customer expectations, agile methodologies have emerged as a flexible alternative, emphasizing adaptability, collaboration, and iterative processes. Hybrid models integrate the strengths of both traditional and agile frameworks to address diverse project needs. This research investigates the comparative impacts of traditional, agile, and hybrid approaches on project success. Success is examined through a multidimensional lens, including project efficiency, team impact, customer satisfaction, business outcomes, and future preparedness. Data collected from 227 global project professionals reveals that agile and hybrid methodologies significantly outperform traditional approaches in enhancing team dynamics and preparing organizations for long-term adaptability. The findings provide actionable insights for practitioners and scholars in optimizing project management strategies across varied contexts.

Evaluating the Impact of Project Management Approaches on Project Success: A Comprehensive Analysis of Traditional, Agile, and Hybrid Models

评估项目管理方法对项目成功的影响：传统、敏捷和混合模型的综合分析

Project management turnover, the departure of key project managers, is a pervasive issue with significant implications for project performance and organizational success. This research explores the multifaceted dimensions of project management turnover, focusing on its causes, timing, and impacts. A comprehensive review of literature reveals critical drivers, including organizational factors, project characteristics, and individual motivations, while emphasizing the pivotal role of turnover timing in project success. The study finds that both early and late turnover events disrupt knowledge continuity, delay deliverables, and compromise quality. Recommendations include proactive succession planning, robust knowledge transfer mechanisms, and fostering a supportive organizational culture to mitigate the adverse effects of turnover. By addressing these challenges, organizations can ensure smoother leadership transitions, sustain team morale, and enhance project outcomes.

Project Management Turnover: Causes, Timing, and Impacts on Performance

项目管理人员的更替：原因、时机及其对绩效的影响

The integration of e-governance into project management has emerged as a transformative solution for addressing modern challenges such as inefficiencies in decision-making and suboptimal resource allocation. By leveraging advanced digital tools, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Dashboards, e-governance enhances transparency, accountability, and strategic alignment within project lifecycles. This paper explores the dual facets of e-governance—its potential benefits and its inherent risks—through a case study of prominent organizations in Dubai, namely the Dubai Police, the Road and Transport Authority (RTA), and the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). The findings highlight the significant value of integrating human expertise with advanced technologies, enabling real-time governance and improving project outcomes. Nevertheless, the challenges of system security, scalability, and cultural adaptation must be addressed for successful implementation. This research provides actionable insights for organizations transitioning toward e-governance frameworks and establishes a foundation for further exploration into its long-term implications.

E-Governance in Project Management: Transforming Decision-Making and Addressing Implementation Risks

项目管理中的电子治理：变革决策过程与应对实施风险

According to The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s Annual Survey on Global Entrepreneurship (2011), South Africa had an estimated 5,579,767 small business owners, of which nearly 80% were retailers while more than 20% were service providers. These businesses accounted for almost 12 million jobs in the country. It is argued that many prospective entrepreneurs want to start a new business but do not focus on acquiring the essential basic business skills to ensure long-term success and sustainability. As survival challenges arise, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will need thought processes that include defining issues, analysing evidence, and synthesizing information, which is critical thinking. SMEs need to have a good understanding of how to manage and run a business effectively. Managerial cognitive competencies become vital in handling, managing, and running a business effectively. Critical thinking is an important cognitive competency that impacts the expansion and survival of SMEs. Very few studies in South Africa have investigated SME longevity, where critical thinking skills were considered a factor. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the level of critical thinking skills among SME owners in South Africa's construction and manufacturing industries and explore its impact on SME longevity. This quantitative descriptive study was among 204 SME owners selected using quota sampling from the construction and manufacturing sectors. Data were collected using a self-administered, anonymous online questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software version 27. The questionnaire assessed the participants' levels of critical thinking. The analysis, conducted using SPSS version 27 software, aimed to determine the prevalence of these skills and their implications for the longevity of SMEs. The results indicated that SME owners in the construction and manufacturing sectors exhibited moderate critical thinking. This suggests that while critical thinking is present, further development has the potential to enhance SMEs' competitive edge and long-term viability. The study found that SME owners' overall critical thinking was moderate in both the manufacturing and construction sectors in South Africa. The study recommended that SMEs employ critical thinking skills to optimize their competitive advantage and sustainability. SME owners, therefore, need to embed critical thinking in their management skills to address complex problems.

南非中小企业主提升业务持久性的关键思维作用

The construction industry, like the market as a whole, is facing new challenges in the area of non-financial reporting. For 2025, all major construction companies, the largest design firms, leading developers, many manufacturers and sellers of building materials and supplies, and some real estate investors will be required to publish sustainability reports or ESG data. Much larger groups of companies will be indirectly affected. Large construction companies will also have to report data for their supply chain, which is often very complex and long. The aim of this article was to determine, based on a survey of the construction industry in the Czech Republic, 1) whether the largest construction companies in the Czech Republic publish sustainability reports (ESG), and 2) how they present this data. The results show that all surveyed construction companies publish at least some sustainability information on their websites. These are mainly certifications related to environmental protection or occupational health and safety. There is no lack of a code of ethics, a reporting channel or social responsibility. Up to three-fifths of companies publish their ESG data through their own or their parent company's annual report. Large foreign companies are one step ahead. Their sustainability reports are prepared in accordance with international GRI standards and have been reporting detailed data for several years, including GHG Protocol emissions and taxonomic indicators.
