Dokoupil, Otakar ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Ženatý, Petr (referee)
The thesis is focused on project management of IS/ICT projects, more specifically on the area concerning relationships among parties involved in IS/ICT project. The thesis presents two main contributions to the area of IS/ICT project management. Firstly, the thesis provides systematic order of available information in the area of relationships, and hence enables easy orientation in the area. This contribution is achieved via analysis of information contained in project management methodologies, IT Governance/IT Management standards, ISO standards, legislation and continual process improvement concept. Such analysis is followed by synthesis resulting in conceptual model of relationships among parties involved in IS/ICT projects. Secondly, the thesis provides recommendations that prevent potential problems to arise in the area of relationships among parties involved in IS/ICT projects. This contribution is achieved via application of conceptual model in the environment of real IS/ICT project, and consequent derivation of knowledge originating from problems of this project.

Stakeholder management in ICT projects
Holub, Ilja ; Chocholatý, Drahomír (advisor) ; Lanz, Edvard (referee)
This work deals with the questions of the analysis and management of the parts engaged in information and communication technology projects. The stakeholder (the term "stakeholder" is used in Czech as well) is a subject, i.e. an individual or a corporate body, that is concerned about the result of the project and has the possibility to influence the project. The main goal of the thesis is to map the contemporary approaches toward the stakeholders analysis and management in the ICT projects, to analyze the problems of the influence of individual parts from both technocracy and human (psychological) point of view and to subsequently suggest the methodology for an effective analysis and management of the engaged parts, which could be used at the management of the projects in the ICT field. It is convenient to introduce the used terms and notions , their history and the way of use in the first part. There are dissect the known methodologies and tools used for the analysis and the management of the engaged parts. Subsequently, the stakeholders are systematically divide, it is accomplished their analysis from different perspectives and discussed mainly the aspects which can be crucial in the project management. The most common interests and motivations of the particular engaged parts are presented, including the influence and interest groups and the ways how to procure these parts for the aims of the projects. In the second part a research is described, which is carried out among managers of ICT companies and participants of ICT projects. There are elaborated some hypotheses on grounds of practical experiences from ICT projects and these are verified by this examination. The third part is focused on the presentation of the methodology for the analysis and the management of stakeholders in the ICT projects, which should serve the project managers for the stakeholders analysis and management in the ICT projects. Practical use of this methodology in the project of the SAP system implementation is described in the last, fourth part. This thesis completes relevant sources with the practical experiences at work on the projects in the ICT field. The effected research attested the original notion that this issue is relatively little known in the Czech Republic. The outcomes of this work could be of use for the project management in the ICT field.

In addition, there are different methodologies and their comparison described in this thesis, which are usually used in Project Management. These are PMBOK, Prince2, ČSN ISO 10006 and the project methodology of Siemens, which is called Chestra. These methodologies form the base for a newly formed structure of Project Management Plan.

Measuring efficiency of software projects
Tomšej, Radek ; Chocholatý, Drahomír (advisor) ; Gála, Libor (referee)
This thesis is aimed to possibilities of measuring of software projects efficiency. This efficiency is measurable by one-dimensional indexes, which are not capable to describe the complexity of software development, or multi-dimensional indexes. Multi-dimensionality gives you possibilities how to detect weak aspects of software project. The first part is dedicated to project characteristics, triple constraint and specifics of software development. The second part describes one-dimensional and multi-dimensional indexes, their advantages and disadvantages, and also work efficiency influences. The main contribution of this thesis is to show practical illustration of using multiple indexes of work efficency and to describe their influential factors.

Project management in BI
Vacek, Antonín ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Zajíc, Jan (referee)
Project management as a branch is nothing new, that doesn't mean that there is not the possibility of improvement or implementating of new methodics in this field. The goal of the opening theorethical section of this work is to explain the problematic of the project management in IS/ICT in general as well as partially in the BI enviroment. In this section the reader is going to learn from which activities project management consists, what documents or templates in which stage of the project are commonly used, as well as some practical examples from project management practice. The rest of this work is then focusing on implementing the theoretical knowledge from the opening section into the practice of the real project in SYSTIXT, ltd. (the name of the company is made-up, the real one wished not to be named in this work). The main output from this section is the concept of the project management plan of this project (some of the parts are done in MS Project 2007). Very important output of this practical section is also creating of some templates for project management that will suit the forementioned company needs. A part of this section is also evaluation of current practices in project management in the SYSTIXT ltd. and the proposal of some changes in this field.

Management and implementation of project procedure in educational system
Vrbová, Zuzana ; Švecová, Lenka (advisor) ; Kučera, Ladislav (referee)
In my final thesis I focus on process and implementation of project procedure. The main aim of this thesis is to show possibilities of how to work with projects in the nonprofit field of educational resort. The opening part is a summary of six chapters. I tried to summarize my own, as well as other theoretical knowledge and basic information concerning the branch of the project procedure, which are important for the following practical part of the thesis. I deal with individual phases of the project procedure, in which I explain terms such as project framework, the lifecycle of project, evaluation methods of projects, the use of information technology, risks that might appear in project procedure etc. Further in my thesis, which is very important, I focus on possibilities of project fundraising in schools. I present basic information about The European Business Academy in Decin, where I am employed. I also deal with options that teachers and students have to extend their education abroad, so called "the mobility of students and teachers". The main part of my thesis includes projects which are being prepared at The European Business Academy in Decin. As an example, I enclose a project which was conducted by students together with teachers and its implementation into use. The second project is a project objective which was not implemented. The third project is being processed and the fourth one has been approved. Another aim of my thesis is to show to other schools how to work with projects and give them a guideline how to involve not only teachers or other employees but also students. Since 2010 students of the final grade will create team projects and the process and defence of the project will be included in the final school-leaving examination.
