ABSTRACT
The positive of the Covid-19 pandemic is being a catalyst for the company's digital transformation plan. However, the targets set have not been achieved with the increasing demand for digitizing business processes and not being matched by increased resources. This research is focused on the IT projects that became quick wins for the Information Technology Division, which experienced delays in the middle of the year, but the target can still be achieved at the end of the year. This research aims to analyze the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of Information Technology projects in a National Shipping Company. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used in this research to determine the ranking of the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) found so that company can set priorities in making decisions and project success can be achieved. Based on the analysis, the top three success factors that become the highest priority are User Involvement, IT Readiness, and Top Management Commitment & Support. In contrast, the bottom three success factors with the lowest priority are Trends, Hardware/Software Selection, and Change Management. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the order of life in various aspects of life, including the field of education in Indonesia. AIM: The purpose of this study was to explore student perceptions and acceptance of the advantages and disadvantages of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and analyze the factors that influence these perceptions. METHODS: The research is in the form of a survey using Google forms about the perception and acceptance of online lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic for nursing students at universities in Indonesia, a questionnaire sent through WhatsApp and held from July 1, 2021 to July 30, 2021. RESULTS: The many of respondents aged 17–19 years (50%) with Diploma-students (62.9%). The most of them have intermediate-level skills in using information technology (82.2%). The platform that is often used is Zoom meeting. The advantages of online learning are that students state that they can study from home (22.2%) and easily access online sources of material (19.9%) and can obtain recordings of each lesson (18.6%). Constraints that are often faced are technical problems (24.6%), very minimal interaction with lecturers (18.4%), and very minimal interaction between students (17.5%). Age and skills in using technology, information and communication have a significant effect on students’ perceptions of online learning (p < 0.05). Most respondents have a negative perception (52.2%) about online learning. CONCLUSION: Although there are several advantages to online learning, students’ perceptions of the learning process are negative, meaning that they are happier and still want face-to-face learning.
ABSTRACT
Aims The increasing development of information communication technology is increasingly positively impacting individuals in various fields, including education. This research aimed to understand the causes of ineffective online learning from the point of view of activists. Participants & Methods This qualitative research was conducted in 2019 in the context of Instructors in the Department of Accounting, Padang State Polytechnic. This study used a phenomenological design with semi-structured interviews that focuses on activists’ experiences (egos) who are central to the entire environment. Based on these assumptions, phenomenology seeks to find the intentionality behind the activist’s behavior for his understanding. Findings In the view point of participants, the causes of ineffective online learning were cultural and emotional. The cultural aspects are categorized under awkwardness with technology and content and characteristics of online learning and the emotional aspects are categorized under instructors’ pressures and workload and students’ dishonesty. Conclusion The effectiveness of online learning systems is about connectedness and quality. Meaning is a subjective truth that arises from the consciousness of a person who experiences and performs an action. . © 2021, the Authors.
ABSTRACT
Uncertainty has become a challenge in project management during the age of the Covid-19 pandemic. Project management required a more flexible and dynamic approach;therefore, it is believed that Agile project management could provide a solution to this problem. Agile has been widely used in multiple industry areas as a practical and flexible approach in project management practices. In the project, the scope is considered one aspect that can directly affect the budget and timing. Unfortunately, it seems to be one of the most neglected domains in Agile and conventional. Agile is recognized for its rapid improvement as well as its willingness to embrace change. However, uncontrolled change can potentially delay and make the project overspend. This paper aims to examine the challenges and discover the best practices in handling scope and change in Agile. A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out through the literature sources, which entailed IEEE Explore, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, ProQuest, and Wiley Online. The finding was seven categories, and eighteen issues were found. Then twenty-four best practices were mapped to the challenges. We found the most significant challenge came from People & Organization, User Requirement Prioritization, Over-scope Requirement, and Communication & Coordination. Those areas are considered the most significant challenge because they can create delays and overspend in the project. © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic has forced the economy's downfall and pushed the enterprises around the globe to embrace Working From Home. For the projects managed using IS/IT during thereof, the literature study performed resulted in Factors to embrace;furthermore, the interview with a Global Service Manager of a state-owned Telco company in Indonesia suggested 24 CSFs drawn from such Factors aforementioned. A survey was then conducted to stakeholders of the projects in Indonesia using the Quota-sampling technique to rank or prioritize those CSFs into the top 12 ranked CSFs for the enterprises operating in Indonesia to quickly consider embracing the first time in every project setup. The Researcher thinks that this research performed during the COVID-19 pandemic will encourage the readers and enterprises to be more aware of the CSFs to run the project in such COVID-19 pandemic using IS/IT successfully. © 2020 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 in Indonesia caused the Indonesian government to adopt New Normal as an adaptive step to mitigate the risk of the spread of COVID-19. The Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DGCE) as one of the government institutions participated in implementing the New Normal which affects the work patterns of employees, especially from project management. Based on interviews conducted, the implementation of the New Normal causes obstacles in project management in terms of time, cost, and performance. Therefore, top management wants to know what critical factors influence the success of a management project. This study conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and seven expert judgment to get an academic and practical view. From the results of the analysis, it is known that there are 22 critical success factors, five categories, and seven project management success criteria in DGCE with the New Normal condition. © 2020 IEEE.
