This paper presents an analysis of the management strategies employed within the “Latin American Open Data for Gender Equality Policies in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)" research network, specifically focusing on the research and innovation project titled “Equality in Leadership for Latin American STEM" (ELLAS). The project encountered a range of challenges typical of large-scale, geographically dispersed, and multicultural teams, compounded by the technical complexities inherent in the development of an Open Linked Data platform. To address these challenges, a hybrid project management approach was adopted, integrating the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) framework with agile methodologies. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the project’s phases, objectives, key activities, and management structure within ELLAS, with particular emphasis on the application of the ten PMBOK knowledge areas to overcome obstacles related to cultural diversity, bureaucratic processes, development uncertainties, and the intricacies of international collaboration. The findings offer valuable insights into effective management strategies for large-scale, multicultural research projects, especially those involving software development within academic settings.

摘要

This paper presents an analysis of the management strategies employed within the “Latin American Open Data for Gender Equality Policies in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)" research network, specifically focusing on the research and innovation project titled “Equality in Leadership for Latin American STEM" (ELLAS). The project encountered a range of challenges typical of large-scale, geographically dispersed, and multicultural teams, compounded by the technical complexities inherent in the development of an Open Linked Data platform. To address these challenges, a hybrid project management approach was adopted, integrating the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) framework with agile methodologies. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the project’s phases, objectives, key activities, and management structure within ELLAS, with particular emphasis on the application of the ten PMBOK knowledge areas to overcome obstacles related to cultural diversity, bureaucratic processes, development uncertainties, and the intricacies of international collaboration. The findings offer valuable insights into effective management strategies for large-scale, multicultural research projects, especially those involving software development within academic settings.
