Application of Linear Programming on Project Management
Hrnčířová, Michala ; Zouhar, Jan (advisor) ; Fábry, Jan (referee)
There are two approaches to solving project management tasks. The first method is using specialized algorithms that do not always give optimal results. The second way is to use linear programming which includes designing mathematical models that are then solved by optimization systems. In my thesis I am dealing with three types of optimization tasks, two of which are basic linear programming tasks: basic project time scheduling and time scheduling of a project with variable action lengths. The focal point of the thesis is to assemble a mathematical model to solve the time scheduling of a project with limited resources. My goal is to design general mathematical models and to compare the results gained by the use of linear programming with those of specialized algorithms.

Influence of changes in the environment of a company on IT projects during the economic crisis
Vašut, Lukáš ; Střížová, Vlasta (advisor) ; Borlok, Ján (referee)
This thesis "Influence of changes in the environment of a company on IT projects during the economic crisis" deals with the impact of outside influences and changes in the environment on the course and management of IT projects in a selected organization. The work is conceived as a case study in which three projects are analyzed. In the first two projects, not only the course of the projects is examined, but also the management of individual phases. The shortcomings and errors are then reflected in the proposed procedures of the third project. All stages are compared not only with theory, but also with best practice and the general modern trends in IT. In all three projects there are described in detail the activities in the project life-cycle phases and there are highlighted both good and bad decisions of the project managers. The thesis deals also with the impact of changes on the projects: with the reasons of the changes and the consequences for the projects. To achieve all the objectives, various analytical methods are used, such as observation -- from the point of view of a participant in the projects was evaluated their progress, practical interaction -- engaging in projects and mutual cooperation with the other players, analysis of documents -- from internal documentation to technical papers describing modern trends and, finally, socio-metric survey -- to reveal the impact of the changes on the end users of IS / IT. The contribution of the thesis should include, in the first place, a critical evaluation of the projects and suggestions of better solutions, application of theoretical knowledge in project management, comparison with best practice and latest trends, their discussion, and own research and interpretation of the impact of changes on end users.

System for assessing projects in terms of risk
Šustrová, Lenka ; Švecová, Lenka (advisor) ; Novotný, Petr (referee)
The goal of this work was to create a system of risk assessment in companies engaged in software development. In the aplication part three already finished projects were analysed. The result of the analysis was compiling a register of risks. The register contains a list of 14 causes and 4 key risk factors. At first these risk factors and their causes undergo an expert evaluation by a subjective probability of their occurrence and intensity of their potential impact in the system. Experts' estimation of the impact strength is complemented by a sensitivity analysis. Subsequently, the system evaluates the risks and compiles a list of key risks. System also provides with arrangements that serve to reduce the extent of key risks. In conclusion, the system carries out a quantitative analysis in the form of a probability tree.

Research of agile development tools
Neumann, Jiří ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Balada, Jakub (referee)
Agile methodologies get more and more into the awareness of project managers. Long-term and unsuccessful projects can mean big risk for companies. Especially in highly competitive industries rapid delivery of a functional product is preferred to comprehensive documentation. For efficient management of agile development appropriate tools are needed. This bachelor thesis is based on these tools. It describes the current state in the market in these instruments, explaining what it can offer to agile teams and it also represents the best-known products of companies like Rally Software, VersionOne, TargetProcess and ExtremePlanner. For product comparison there are appropriate criteria proposed in the thesis. The results of the comparison are identified advantages and disadvantages of each instrument for both the community and the enterprise version of the software.

Relationships among interested parties in the context of IS/ICT project management
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.
