This thesis aims to report the results of a study to check the use of project management practices, based on the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) Guide, in the day-to-day by project professionals in Brazilian organizations. The effective and efficient implementation of a project requires a composition of knowledge, skills, techniques and tools that are used and defined in many project management guides. This composition is what we call as project management. This study about the degree of use of the practices consisted in a quantitative field survey with the individuals working with project management in their companies. Thus we identified the characteristics of professional, of your organization, the use of practices, and metrics of success of the project. It is emphasized that this research study is limited to Brazilian audience. To achieve the study goals, is was developed as: descriptive analysis, where we seek to describe the reality of project management presented by professionals; explanatory, aiming at clarifying the degree of utilization of these practices in relation to the PMBOK Guide in organizations; and exploratory, as there was little knowledge accumulated and systematized in this area in Brazil . We also use the literature review to consolidate the study of theories relating to the area of project management based on guides , periodicals and journals , academic papers and books on the subject matter. Through the quantitative analysis we sought the compliance of the data collected to allow the logical analysis of information in the process of searching for answers about the evaluation of the PMBOK Guide’s project management principles use degree by project professional in the Brazilian market. The results showed different use degrees of practices according to the nine knowledge areas of the PMBOK Guide and intriguing revelations when analyzed under perspectives like an existence of a PMO (project management office) in the company, project success and among others revealing that the context where the professionals and their organizations can contribute for a significant changing in the use degrees analyzed. This study aims to serve as factor for prospecting of others studies in the area of project management, promoting Brazilian scientific publications.
Esta dissertação de mestrado tem por objetivo relatar o resultado de um estudo de verificação das práticas de gerenciamento de projetos, baseadas no Guia PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), presentes no dia-a-dia pelos profissionais de projetos das organizações brasileiras. A execução eficaz, eficiente e efetiva de um projeto necessita de uma composição entre conhecimentos, habilidades, técnicas e ferramentas definidos em diversos guias de gestão de projetos. Essa composição é o que se denomina: gerenciamento de projetos. A fundamentação prática aqui apresentada baseou-se em uma pesquisa de campo quantitativa, que inquiriu sujeitos organizacionais atuantes em gestão de projetos em suas empresas. Assim, pôde-se verificar as características do profissional, de sua organização, do uso das práticas e das métricas de sucesso do projeto. Ressalte-se que este estudo limita-se ao Brasil, como ambiente em que atua o público-alvo de pesquisa. Para tanto, o estudo foi desenvolvido: de forma descritiva, a partir da realidade de gestão de projetos apresentada pelos profissionais; explicativa, tendo como objetivo central esclarecer qual o seu grau de utilização em relação ao Guia PMBOK, no contexto das organizações brasileiras; e exploratória, dado que existia pouco conhecimento acumulado e sistematizado a respeito deste tema, na área Brasil. A revisão bibliográfica, para consolidar o estudo das teorias referentes à área gestão de projetos, deu-se por meio de guias, periódicos e jornais especializados, trabalhos acadêmicos e livros sobre o tema em questão e demais textos virtuais. Da análise quantitativa, buscou-se a conformidade sobre os dados coletados a fim de se consolidar a consistência lógica das informações obtidas nas respostas sobre a avaliação do grau de uso do preceitos de gerenciamento de projetos do Guia PMBOK por parte dos profissionais de projetos, do mercado brasileiro. Os resultados demonstraram diferentes graus de uso das práticas relativas às nove áreas de conhecimento do Guia PMBOK. Pôde-se apurar, também, revelações intrigantes como a existência de um EGP (escritório de gestão de projetos) na empresa, como no contexto, no qual estão inseridos os profissionais e suas organizações, podem contribuir de modo significativo tanto na alteração dos graus de uso como no sucesso do projeto. Almeja-se que o presente estudo possa servir de elemento prospectivo para outras pesquisas na área de gerenciamento de projetos, fomentando a realização de trabalhos e publicações científicas, de âmbito brasileiro.

As organizações contemporâneas têm vivido um período de intensas transformações nas duas últimas décadas. No intuito de atender plenamente as demandas dos clientes, como forma de garantir a própria sobrevivência, as empresas estão migrando de modelos de negócio tradicionais focados na produção para modelos flexíveis orientados a projetos, se adequando à crescente demanda por produtos e serviços customizados. Esse contexto impõe às organizações alto grau de profissionalismo na gestão dos projetos, visando assegurar o atendimento aos mais variados requisitos dos clientes com eficiência e eficácia. Diante desse cenário de perceptível relevância da gestão de projetos, a presente pesquisa objetivou comparar a metodologia de gestão de projetos, voltada para o desenvolvimento de soluções e-learning, concebida pelo Senai-BA, com o PMBOK – Guia de boas práticas em gestão de projetos do PMI, com foco na análise dos critérios de escopo, tempo, custo e qualidade. Nesse intuito, fez-se uma revisão da literatura focada no tema e realizou-se pesquisa envolvendo os colaboradores do Senai-BA e funcionários de empresas atendidas, que atuaram no desenvolvimento dos referidos projetos. Os resultados foram consolidados e analisados visando identificar, com maior precisão, possíveis oportunidades de melhoria para a gestão do processo de desenvolvimento de soluções e-learning. Constatou-se, na conclusão da pesquisa, que a metodologia de gestão de projetos adotada pelo Senai-BA possuía lacunas em relação às boas práticas difundidas no PMBOK, principalmente no que tange a gestão do tempo e de custos, ocasionando o descumprimento dos prazos acordados e demandas de recursos acima dos planejados. Dessa forma, foram propostas alternativas para otimização da metodologia de gestão de projetos do Senai-BA, visando o alcance dos objetivos estratégicos da Organização.

Cuando la demanda de viviendas inició un proceso constante de crecimiento, gracias a la necesidad de obtener una vivienda, se vio la oportunidad de poder implementar un proyecto elevando la productividad a través de la dirección de proyectos, utilizando los estándares globales del PMI a la construcción de un edificio de 15 pisos llamado Edificio Multifamiliar la Costanera ubicado en la ciudad de Lima. En el presente trabajo de investigación se desarrolló el Caso de Negocio, que revisa la implicancia del rubro construcción y determina su impacto en el proyecto. El principal objetivo del proyecto fue implementar una metodología bajo los estándares globales del PMI, que se adecue al proyecto y genere un óptimo resultado relacionado a la rentabilidad e indicadores de gestión. Adicionalmente, se incluye la propuesta de llevar a cabo el control del proyecto mediante la metodología Last Planner que nos permite optimizar los tiempos de ejecución del proyecto con la herramienta Look Ahead. El proyecto obtuvo una facturación de S/ 5, 329,651.24 y un costo de S/ 4, 966,689.00, con un adelanto del 15% y un plazo de ejecución de 10 meses, como resultado de este servicio de construcción y el flujo de caja de los pagos, se ha estimado obtener una de VAN de S/ 376,479.07. El desarrollo del caso de negocio nos ha permitido realizar el análisis para la factibilidad técnica y económica del proyecto, teniendo en cuenta que toda estrategia del proyecto debe estar alineada a los objetivos estratégicos de la organización. Asimismo, debe considerarse a los interesados como parte importante del proyecto, transformando sus expectativas como requisitos específicos del proyecto. Finalmente, el presente trabajo de investigación demuestra que los estándares globales de PMI permiten incrementar la probabilidad de éxito de este tipo de proyectos en el rubro de la construcción. En función a ello, nuestro trabajo de investigación recomienda para la empresa JJGH la implementación de una PMO.
When housing demand began a constant process of growth, thanks to need to get a home, the opportunity was seen to be able to implement a project by raising productivity through project management using the PMI global standards to build a 15-story building called La Costanera Multifamily Building located in Lima city. In this research work, the Business Case was developed, which reviews the implication of the construction sector and determines its impact on the project. The main project objective was to implement a methodology under the PMI standards, which adapts to the project and generates an optimal result, related to profitability and management indicators. Additionally, the proposal to carry out project control through the Last Planner methodology that allows us to optimize the project execution times with the Look Ahead tool is included. The project obtained a turnover of S / 5,329,651.24 and a cost of S / 4,966,689.00, with an advance of 15% and a lead-time of 10 months, as a result of this construction service and the cash flow of payments, it has been estimated to obtain a VAN of S / 376,479.07. The business case development has allowed us to perform for the technical and economic feasibility analysis of the project, taking into account that all project strategies and the organization strategic objectives must be aligned. Likewise, stakeholders should be considered as an important part of the project, transforming their expectations as specific project requirements. Finally, this research work shows the global PMI standards allow increasing the success probability of this projects type in the construction sector. Accordingly, our research work recommends for the JJGH Company a PMO implementation.

Most international corporations have to adopt to the requirements of globalisation by working in international joint ventures or international projects outside their well known home markets. The successful management of projects is an essential element aiming to cope with the complex challenges caused by cultural factors and other influences on the management of projects. Especially the Middle East as a cultural region has experienced a dynamic growth during the last decades, as many of the countries rich in oil and gas have heavily invested into their local infrastructure. Besides other factors, the impact of national culture on project management may lead to negative influences like project delays and project failure, or positive influences such as an increased communication. Based on the Hofstede dimensional framework this thesis is designed to investigate which cultural factors and other factors influence the PMBoK (PMI Body of Knowledge) knowledge areas while delivering projects in the Middle East. This empirical study is using a qualitative research approach in a multiple-case study design analysing six projects. The results clearly show that some characteristics of the Middle Eastern cultural context strongly determine the applicability of the PMBoK knowledge areas. Especially the interrelation of individualism (IDV) and power distance (PDI) reveals some new perspectives for project work in this region. The two case studies illustrate a strong increase in power distance if the project manager and the team member do not originate from the same cultural background. Additionally differences in time perception and the characteristics of the dimension long term orientation (LTO) result in fundamental differences for the application of the PMBoK processes. The findings help to develop a theoretical framework highlighting specific influences for PMBoK knowledge areas. The results of this thesis may form a basis for future researchers aiming to develop improved models for project management in the Middle East or other cultural regions. Finally, the theoretical franework developed herein is designed to help project practitioners to gain a better understanding of the specific challenges while working on the Arabian peninsula.

The adoption of a results-oriented governance in the public service has emerged as an organizational management approach as part o f a broad movement o f the new public management (NPM). In Brazil, public companies have been concerned in the search for better management contrai mechanisms to achieve good results in the delivery of public services for customers and users. The term 'Organizational Performance Management' refers to any integrated and systematic approach to improving performance to achieve strategic aims and pro mote the mission and values ofthe organization. Thus, this research studies practices related to the organizational performance management, enabling the targeting of efforts on improving key processes, taking into account the specific characteristics o f the public nature. Another relevant aspect o f this work comes from studies by Management Objectives and Managing for Results, adopting understanding Manage by Objectives to achieve the results. Thus, a literature search was performed to identify the main frameworks of organizational performance. After this stage, it was established a criticai analysis of frameworks by watching the main contributions and strengths. Finally, it was built an assessment model in arder to make a diagnosis of managerial processes and qualify at what stage the company, which is the object of this study, is focusing on the governance for results. The assessment result reflected the perceptions of employees and managers on performance and its determinants.
A adoção de uma governança voltada para resultados na administração pública surgiu como uma abordagem de gestão organizacional, fazendo parte de um amplo movimento da nova gestão pública (NGP). No Brasil, as empresas públicas têm se preocupado em buscar melhores mecanismos de controle da gestão no sentido de lograr bons resultados na prestação dos serviços públicos para os clientes e à sociedade usuária dos serviços. O termo 'Gestão de Desempenho Organizacional' refere-se a qualquer abordagem integrada e sistemática que vise melhorar o desempenho para alcançar objetivos estratégicos e promover a missão e os valores da organização. Assim, esta pesquisa estuda práticas relacionadas à gestão de desempenho organizacional, que possibilitem o direcionamento dos esforços na melhoria dos processos chaves, levando em consideração as particularidades inerentes à natureza pública. Outro aspecto de relevância deste trabalho advém dos estudos da Gestão por Objetivos e da Gestão para Resultados, adotando a compreensão de Gerenciar por Objetivos para se conquistar os Resultados. Deste modo, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica para identificar os principais frameworks sobre desempenho organizacional. Após esta etapa, foi estabelecida uma análise crítica dos frameworks, observando as principais contribuições e pontos fortes. E por último, foi construído um modelo de avaliação com o propósito de fazer um diagnóstico dos processos gerenciais, e qualificar em qual estágio a empresa objeto deste estudo se encontra, sob o enfoque da governança para resultados. O resultado desta avaliação refletiu as percepções dos funcionários e gestores sobre o desempenho e seus determinantes.

En el presente trabajo, empleamos las buenas prácticas de dirección de proyectos que nos servirán como base para desarrollar futuros proyectos que nuestra organización requiera. Cabe mencionar que se ha innovado la práctica del trabajo de la empresa, aplicando los grupos de procesos de Inicio y Planificación de la Guía de los Fundamentos para la Dirección de Proyectos - sexta edición (PMBOK® guide, sixth edition), de acuerdo con la experiencia de la empresa para poder alcanzar los objetivos de la organización. Por lo tanto la dirección del proyecto de Desarrollo de la Ingeniería de Detalle para la Construcción de la Carretera SMCV – Estación de Transferencia La Joya, se analiza bajo dos enfoques: el primero muestra como CISA realiza la dirección de proyectos en la actualidad y el segundo muestra la situación ideal aplicando las buenas prácticas de la Guía de los Fundamentos para la Dirección de Proyectos - sexta edición (PMBOK® guide, sixth edition).
In this present research work, we use the best practices of project management that will serve as a basis for developing future projects that our organization requires. These best practices have innovated the way to run projects in our company, applying the start-up and planning process groups of the Fundamentals Guide for Project Management - sixth edition (PMBOK® guide, sixth edition), according to the experience of the company to achieve the goals of the organization. Therefore, the direction of the detailed engineering development project for the construction of the SMCV road - La Joya transfer station, is analyzed under two approaches: the first shows how CISA currently manages projects and the second shows the ideal situation by applying the good practices of the Guide to the Fundamentals for Project Management - sixth edition (PMBOK® guide, sixth edition).
Tesis

Introdução: Durante o processo de implantação de cursos na modalidade a distância, a etapa de planejamento e gerenciamento do curso é um dos temas que vem ocupando as discussões dos envolvidos na projeção e execução das propostas educacionais, muitas vezes com finalidades que excedem o nível do educacional e esbarram também em questões de cunho administrativo e econômico. O fato de que, na Educação a Distância (EAD), se está lidando com sujeitos e instituições de características diversas assim como tecnologias das mais sofisticadas, não tem assegurado igual avanço nos modelos pedagógicos do ensino, e menos ainda, na qualidade da gestão desses projetos. Objetivo: Desenvolver um projeto educacional a distância através das ferramentas de gestão existentes no Guia Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Método: O estudo constituiu-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, de produção tecnológica com análise exploratório-descritiva. Quanto a técnica, foi empregado o estudo de caso de análise documental. Resultados: Neste projeto foram consideradas a existência de 5 fases do ciclo de vida que fundamentam o modelo do processo de gerenciamento de projetos, abrangendo todo percurso desde a concepção ao encerramento, identificadas por Inicialização, Planejamento, Execução, Monitoramento e Controle, Encerramento. Para inclusão das diretrizes em consonância com as orientações do Guia PMBOK, as 10 áreas de conhecimento foram selecionadas pela equipe do projeto, uma vez que elas englobam todas as ações gerenciais de um curso a distância, todavia, de acordo com o perfil do projeto, utilizou-se somente parte destes processos. A integração exerceu papel essencial no gerenciamento do curso, à medida que, criou condições propícias para o desenvolvimento do projeto através do estabelecimento do objetivo de capacitar profissionais no uso de Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação como recursos pedagógicos através da EAD baseando-se na aprendizagem significativa, no uso da metodologia dialética e das metodologias ativas, vinculadas a mediação da aprendizagem na era digital. Conclusões: Cada área de conhecimento do Guia PMBOK teve em seus processos a organização de acordo com as demandas e conhecimentos do projeto e dos gestores, com ênfase no planejamento educacional. O detalhamento conceitual e operacional foi analisado de forma a orientar os aspectos essenciais para o planejamento de um projeto em EAD dentro de um contexto gerencial norteada pelo modelo das boas práticas em gestão de projetos. O planejamento por unidades de aprendizagem, o monitoramento, o controle e os critérios de qualidade estabelecidos foram fundamentais para as tomadas de decisão no gerenciamento. O estabelecimento das atividades predominantes do projeto educacional e sua finalidade principal fizeram que os produtos fossem desenvolvidos dentro do que era almejado pelos stakeholders, sendo benquistos sem qualquer restrição.
Introduction: During the process of implementation of Education Distance Learning (EDL), the planning stage and management of the course is one of the themes that has been occupying the discussions of those involved in designing and implementing educational proposals, often for purposes that exceed the educational level and also run into administrative and economic nature issues. The fact that, in distance education, you\'re dealing with subjects and different characteristics of institutions as well as the most sophisticated technologies, has not ensured equal advance in pedagogical teaching models, and even less in quality management. Objective: To develop an educational project in the distance through the existing management tools in the Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide (PMBOK). Method: The study consisted of an applied research, production technology with exploratory and descriptive analysis. As for technique, we used the case study of document analysis. Results: In this project we considered the existence of 5 phases of the life cycle that base the model of the process of project management, covering all path from conception to closure, identified by Initialization, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Control, Finalization. In accordance with the guidelines of the PMBOK Guide, the 10 areas of knowledge were selected by the project team, since they encompass all managerial actions of a distance course, however, according to the project profile, only part of these processes were used. Integration has played an essential role in the management of the course, as it has created favorable conditions for the development of the project through the establishment of the objective of training professionals in the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies as pedagogical resources through distance education based in meaningful learning, in the use of dialectical methodology and active methodologies, linked to the mediation of learning in the digital epoch. Conclusions: Each PMBOK Guide Knowledge area had in its processes the organization according to the demands and knowledge of the design and management, with an emphasis on educational planning. The conceptual and operational details was analyzed in order to guide the essentials for planning a project in distance education in a managerial context guided by the model of good practice in project management. Planning for learning units, monitoring, control and quality criteria were essential for decision-making in management. The establishment of the predominant activities of the educational project and its main purpose made that the products were developed within what was desired by the stakeholders, being well liked without any restriction.

This research aims to formulate a proposal of knowledge area guiding environmental management for projects. It discusses environmental management and the management system and discusses the legal aspects in environmental management, reflecting on the Brazilian legislation that guides it. It describes the methodology applied by the PMBOK Guide, and the functionalities of the ten areas of knowledge that are explained in the Guide, namely: integration, scope, time, costs, quality, human resources, communications, risks, acquisitions and stakeholders. It uses the exploratory and bibliographic research to support the developed proposal. In the expectation of formulating the area of knowledge in environmental management, it is chosen to describe this area as a diagram of data flows of the process in function of the life cycle of the project. It is concluded that: there is a need to identify specific tools and techniques for environmental management in design; Need for specialized opinions and knowledge of regulators, such as: environmental engineers and the National Environmental Council (CONAMA); The need for environmental licensing and its modalities, when applicable, as well as the monitoring of the validity of the same; It is imperative to create an environmental project management plan that is in line with the various other existing project plans.

Information Technology (IT) projects continue to fail despite being managed by certified Project Management Professionals (PMP) and professionally trained non-certified Project Managers (PM). This study addressed PMPs and qualified PMs who continue to experience IT project failure at a high rate. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore perspectives of PMs and their understanding of project management best practices in the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). There were 5 research questions focused on IT project failures, lessons learned, trends, deficiencies in project management framework, and adherence to standard PM practices. This study utilized a phenomenological approach and an inductive analysis based on Koskinen's theory that a lack of project management knowledge can contribute to project failure. Data were collected from open-ended interviews with 20 project managers; these data were then inductively coded and analyzed for themes and patterns. Findings yielded categories of poor scope management, cost overruns, unmanaged resources, un-realistic requirements, inadequate stakeholder management, and deficiencies in content in the PMBOK standards. The results could influence positive social change for PMs to assess the depth of project management training needed to understand early warning signs of IT project failure. These changes could promote awareness within the project management community and encourage more in-depth PM competency training.

One of objectives of practical part of the thesis is to perform an analysis of current state of project management in selected organization. Based on its specific environment and identified opportunities for improvement it follows up with formalization of recommended design and way of implementation of alternative approach for project management which uses appropriate agile elements but also reflects specific needs and limits of the organization. In its theoretical part the thesis describes basic terminology related to management of projects and portfolios, selected models of project lifecycle, popular standards and methods of traditional project management, core philosophy of agile and selected practices of agile project management.

O gerenciamento de projetos de forma sistematizada vem se tornando essencial para todo tipo de organização, pois os mercados a cada dia tornam-se cada vez mais competitivos, os recursos mais escassos e os clientes muito mais exigentes. É possível observar isso com o número crescente de empresas que se associam ao Project Management Institute (PMI) - referência nas melhores práticas em gerenciamento de projetos - que desde o final de 2013 possui mais de 400.000 empresas associadas em todo o planeta. Tal tendência é natural, visto que as empresas necessitam se destacar nos negócios em um mercado cada vez mais dinâmico a fim de garantir a sua sobrevivência. De acordo com Gu et al. (2013), uma questão-chave na investigação de gerenciamento de projetos gira em torno de porquê alguns projetos são bem sucedidos, enquanto outros não. Esta questão levou os pesquisadores a explorar determinantes potenciais que possam levar ao sucesso ou fracasso de um projeto. Por exemplo, o Standish Group International (2009) encontrou uma taxa global de fracasso do projeto em torno de 72% nos EUA. É certo que a cultura organizacional exerce forte influência no sucesso dos projetos, mas seria possível diagnosticá-la para com isso melhor conduzir as equipes de projeto? Deste modo, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a relação entre a cultura organizacional e o gerenciamento de projetos, utilizando-se para tanto dos modelos como o Competing Values Framework (CVF) e o Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI). O emprego dos modelos se justifica por serem os mais utilizados na literatura em gestão organizacional, embora não tenham sido encontrados estudos empíricos que os utilize no contexto brasileiro em gerenciamento de projetos. O método utilizado para obtenção do perfil cultural dominante para o sucesso em gerenciamento de projetos foi survey, na qual o modelo OCAI foi adaptado e destinado para gerentes e membros de equipe de projetos. Observou-se através da análise dos dados, que a cultura de clã foi a que apresentou forte influência para o sucesso no gerenciamento de projetos de acordo com a percepção dos respondentes da survey. É importante ressaltar que não há um perfil de cultura melhor que o outro, portanto, a cultura de gerenciamento de projetos obtida é apenas o diagnóstico de uma cultura organizacional que poderá permitir a obtenção de um desempenho superior, ou seja, sucesso no atendimento de escopo, qualidade, custo e prazo. Discute-se para estudos futuros a importância de se empregar respondentes de diferentes estados do Brasil e ainda de outros países, buscando estabelecer que não existam influências de outros fatores culturais regionais na percepção dos respondentes.
Project management in a systematic manner has become essential for any type of organization, because the markets every day become increasingly competitive, scarce resources and more demanding customers. You can see this with the growing number of companies that are associated with the Project Management Institute (PMI) - reference the best practices in project management - which since late 2013 has more than 400,000 affiliates around the world. This tendency is natural, since companies need to stand out in business in an increasingly dynamic market in order to ensure their survival. According to Gu et al. (2013), a key issue in project management research centers on why some projects are successful while others do not. This question led the researchers to explore potential determinants that can lead to success or failure of a project. For example, the Standish Group International (2009) found an overall rate of failure of the project around 72% in the US. Admittedly, the organizational culture has a strong influence on the success of the projects, but it would be possible to diagnose it for it better lead project teams? Thus, the aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between organizational culture and project management, using for both models like the Competing Values Framework (CVF) and the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI). The use of models is justified because they are the most used in the literature on organizational management, although we did not find empirical studies that use them in the Brazilian context in project management. The method used to obtain the dominant cultural profile for success in project management was the survey, in which the OCAI model was adapted and designed for managers and project team members. It was observed by analyzing the data, the clan culture showed the strong influence for success in project management according to the perception of the survey respondents. Importantly, there is a better culture profile than the other, so the obtained project management culture is only the diagnosis of an organizational culture that may allow obtaining superior performance, ie success in scope of service, quality, cost and schedule. It is argued for further study the importance of employing respondents from different states of Brazil and even from other countries, seeking to establish that there are no influences from other regional cultural factors in the perception of respondents.

This thesis deals with the solution from the project management especially with the focus on the schedule management with attributes of agile techniques. Subsequently, the small business enviroment is researched, based on which the system was designed. At the end, the further possibilities of further expansion are discussed.

This thesis aims to evaluate the attractiveness to the small Brazilian investor, from a financial point of view, of a new form of investment, based on characteristics of the Brazilian crowdfunding model and of traditional investment tools, to be called crowdinvesting. Supported by the detailed understanding of the existing crowdfunding model in the country and the identification and mapping of the characteristics of traditional investment instruments, this study seeks to define how the new form of investment would work and examine whether, in comparison with traditional tools, in terms of risk and return, the crowdinvesting model would be competitive in the Brazilian market.
Os projetos são frequentemente utilizados como um meio de direta ou indiretamente alcançar os objetivos do plano estratégico de uma organização e está em curso um movimento de valorização desta prática. Esta valorização da gestão por projeto é perceptível no crescente número de instituições preocupadas em disseminar a disciplina de gerenciamento de projetos, no movimento por parte dos executivos em promover a profissão do gerente de projetos e no volume de investimento financeiro dedicado a esta prática. A atual confiança neste modelo de gestão traz consigo uma alta expectativa quanto a seus resultados, que, por sua vez, exigem uma metodologia de gestão eficiente. Uma das maiores empresas brasileira é reconhecida mundialmente pela excelência em sua implantação de projetos de grande a porte financeiro. Por trás deste sucesso está uma sistemática desenvolvida internamente para a gestão de projetos. Tendo em vista a inexistência de uma instituição brasileira de práticas de projeto, qual será a aderência da sistemática da empresa a prática internacional de gestão de projetos? Este estudo de caso busca apontar os principais pontos de aderência e a dissonância entre a sistemática proposta pela empresa e a metodologia de gestão de projetos do Project Management Institute, o PMBOK.

The diploma paper introduces and, consequently, compares the worldwide accepted project management standards PMBOK Guide and CzNCB and ASAP Methodology for Implementation. Project management standards were presented by PMI and IPMA organizations, ASAP Methodology for Implementation was developed by SAP organization. The theoretical background is further applied on real situations within projects of implementations of SAP solutions that are realized by the company NESS Czech s.r.o.. Possible difficulties, which may arise during every implementation of SAP solutions, are being identified due to knowledge and experience of project managers and solution architects of NESS Czech s.r.o., not only during each phase of ASAP Methodology for Implementation but also during pre-implementation project phase. After settling the role and responsibilities of the supplier's project manager, the solutions how to avoid and/or react on possible difficulties, in charge of supplier's project manager, are being indicated.

This thesis deals with the issue of the project management, project portfolio management and environment settings for the management and portfolio analysis in a fictional organization. In the theoretical introduction there is outlined the situation of the education of the project portfolio management at universities in the Czech Republic, Europe and worldwide, in summary form of founded courses that deal with this issue. Some basic principles of PMI methodology follow to introduce the reader to the project and portfolio management. As a practical part of this thesis there has been project management solution software implemented as a support for the portfolio management education. Microsoft Project 2010 has been selected for this purpose. This part of the thesis guides reader through practical topics like how to set up the whole environment including all utilities and contains a description of services settings. As example there were also sample roles and resources of the company set up, which were subsequently assigned to fictional projects so that the business portfolio analysis based on set of business goals and prioritization of individual projects could have been performed. The contribution of this work can be found mainly in the possibility of portfolio management education and training by using one of the leading software tool that are successfully implemented in a real production environment, and to try out the various acts and practices and also to clarify the various processes in the context of specific projects within the portfolio. Prepared fictional organization and sample data can be especially used as a model for handling various assignments in the upcoming educational courses at VŠE.

This diploma thesis deals with the issue of risk detection in conflicts when releasing a new version in customer environments. This thesis deals with the knowledge areas of project management according to the current PMI standard, where one of the areas of risk management is described in more detail. Theoretical knowledge is applied in the practical part when specifying the requirements and design of the tool. The following sections describe the implementation and testing procedure.

This master thesis deals with risk management in projects. The goal was to study the knowledge areas of project management, especially planning, identification and qualitative analysis of risk management. Based on the information from the required area, a tool was designed to help visualize the risks on the project while supporting their identification and analysis. The designed tool was programmed with the combination of Java Spring Boot server and React client. At the end of this thesis you can find result of the testing and possible future expansion of the application.

This thesis deals with issues surrounding the management of IS/ICT projects, primarily from the point of view of ČSN ISO/IEC norms. I will list and analyse those norms used to define important indicators and processes, which are subsequently mapped to PMBOK process groups. Every norm is accompanied by a brief evaluation describing its suitability for use in IS/ICT projects, its anticipated benefits and the approach taken in its application. The next part of the thesis consists of an analysis of norms from the point of view of methods of estimation in the planning of IS/ICT projects. An analysis is made of the majority of norms that directly or tangentially affect estimation in the planning of IS/ICT projects. The practical section of the thesis contains a metric for the monitoring of projects from the point of view of ISO/IEC norms and the dissemination of the "MMaHPISICTv5.7" model, as created by Ondřej Kmoníček in the thesis "Sledování a vyhodnocování IT projektů - Monitoring and Evaluation of IT Projects" [38]. The model is supplemented by ISO/IEC metrics and also other functionalities, focussing primarily on the depiction of individual metrics over a period of time.

Risk management has become more influential since the U.S. was affected by the financial crisis, and experts came out with the concept of “risk management.” The American Project Management Institute (PMI) released the PMBOKR Guide, It is a recognized standard for the project management profession. Among them, the project management standard offers the process of risk management and the basic structure. Based on this, the research will illustrate and discuss about the content of project risk management in PMBOKR Guide. According to this research, we can understand the change and development of risk management, also grasp the current trends in the international risk management. The research is expected to enable everyone to have a preliminary understanding of risk management and help to organize and build their own suitable risk management, and enhance the possibility for organizations to achieve their goal.

Research submitted to the faculty of engineering and built environment, university of Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of master of science in building ( Project Management in construction)
The construction industry is one of the key drivers of economic development in any country. Yet the prevalence of construction project delays and cost overruns continues to be a worldwide chronic problem within the industry. The aim of this study is to evaluate the extent of application of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) by construction project managers (CPMs) within South Africa’s built environment. The increase acceptance of project management as a profession indicates that the application of knowledge, processes, skills, tools, and techniques can have a significant impact on project success. Hence, it is imperative to ascertain whether or not CPMs in South Africa built environment are structurally applying PMBOK® Guide’ processes, tools and techniques when managing their construction projects. This study uses the term “structurally applying PMBOK® Guide” to mean appropriate application of the PMBOK® Guide’s knowledge, processes, tools and techniques. The sample population consists of 120 CPMs within South Africa’s built environment drawn from the nine provinces of South Africa. The result of this study confirm conclusions of previous studies that the prevalence of construction project delays and cost overrun is still high in South Africa’s built environment. The results also show that some CPMs do apply the PMBOK® Guide partially, but that, in general, CPMs do not apply the PMBOK® Guide structurally. The findings indicate that this limited structural application of the PMBOK® Guide is one of the major reasons for the prevalence of project delays and cost overruns within South Africa’s built environment. Therefore, this study stresses that stakeholders within South Africa’s built environment and in particular the South African Council for the Project and Construction Manager Professions (SACPCMP) should take measures to address these prevailing challenges attributable to inadequate PMBOK® Guide application as demonstrated in this study. Amongst the measures to address these challenges, this study recommends: firstly, the introduction of the PMBOK® as a compulsory component of a Construction Project Management course. Secondly, that the SACPCMP considers the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Professional exam as one of the Pr. CPM registration requirements as a demonstration of improved theoretical knowledge. Finally, that the built environment fraternity should review the structure of the Built Environment Bill of Quantity so that it is strictly aligned with the Work Breakdown Structure approach. This will assist CPMs to appropriately estimate and control the schedule and cost of each piece of work to avoid project delays and cost overruns. Key words: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), generally recognised, structurally, Built Environment, Construction Project Managers (CPMs).

Projeto de dissertação de mestrado em Engenharia e Gestão de Sistemas de Informação
A existência de normas e guias de boas práticas é vasta e estes são necessários para ajudar as organizações a obter bons resultados nos projetos, sendo que, esse resultado é atingido se no final do projeto todos os requisitos forem cumpridos e o cliente estiver satisfeito. A utilização destas normas e guias, para a gestão de projetos, aumenta o conhecimento dos gestores e ajuda a organização a atingir melhores resultados. As mesmas estão associadas a diversas áreas de conhecimento ou competências, em que cada uma delas possui processos a desenvolver. Esta dissertação caracteriza diversos referenciais associados à gestão de projetos na área de Tecnologias de Informação, descreve as várias áreas associadas a cada referencial especificado anteriormente e de forma breve aborda as mudanças ocorridas de edição para edição de cada um deles. De forma a ajudar as organizações a escolher o referencial que melhor se adecua ao seu projeto, é feito um estudo de complementaridade e sobreposição entre referenciais. No entanto, o objetivo base desta dissertação passa pelo desenvolvimento de um framework que mostre a evolução futura na gestão de projetos, tendo por base a evolução passada. Através desta dissertação, foi possível o desenvolvimento de uma tabela que apresenta os 12 referenciais estudados e feito um cruzamento entre as áreas que os compõem de forma a mostrar como estes se complementam. Também, através desta dissertação, foi desenvolvido um modelo comparativo/prospetivo em que apresenta várias mudanças entre edições dos referenciais e vários pontos associados à evolução futura na gestão de projetos.
The existence of standards and guides of good pratices is vast and these are required to help the organizations to obtain good results in the projects, which means, a result is reached if in the end of the project all the requirements are fulfilled and the client is satisfied. The use of these standards and guides, for project management, increases the manager’s knowledge and helps the organization to achive better results. The stantards are associated with different areas of knowledge or competences, each with their own processes to develop. This dissertation, characterizes several standards related to project management in the area of Information Technologies, describes their associated areas for each standard and briefly discusses the changes that occurred in the last editions of the standards. In the way to help th organization to choose the best standard that best suits the project, it’s made a complementary and overlap study between standards. However, the objective of this dissertions it is the development of a framework that shows the future evolution in the project management based on past evolution. Through the progress of this dissertion, it was possible to develop a table that shows the 12 study standards and it was made an interlacement between the areas that compose them in order to show how they complement each other. In addition, it was developed a comparative/prospective model incorporating several changes between standards editions and various associated points to the future evolution in project management.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Engenharia Civil
Num contexto macro-económico complexo, as empresas de construção nacionais enfrentam enormes desafios relacionados com o seu modelo de atuação no mercado, pois vivemos numa sociedade cada vez mais competitiva em termos económicos. Ao mesmo tempo, os consumidores tornaram-se mais exigentes, mais atentos e participativos, obrigando as empresas de construção que se queiram manter não só ativas, mas essencialmente competitivas, a aperfeiçoar as estratégias de gestão e os processos internos de gestão, isto é, tornou-se necessário gerir os projetos de forma profissional para evitar incumprimentos, atrasos e quebras na qualidade que têm consequências severas, tanto em termos financeiros como de mercado. É neste complexo contexto de atuação, onde as rotinas são pouco frequentes e onde a inovação e a necessidade de adaptação são constantes, que surge a necessidade de implementar os ensinamentos da gestão de projeto de uma forma cada vez mais eficiente. Enquadrando o presente estudo neste contexto, o objetivo do mesmo é analisar se as metodologias da gestão de projetos se tornam eficazes para resolver os principais problemas do setor. Esta investigação de mestrado teve como objetivo preliminar identificar e analisar as práticas mais utilizadas no controlo dos trabalhos pelas empresas de construção, para determinar quais as áreas de gestão que têm sido mais valorizadas, as dificuldades sentidas e as principais causas para o sucesso ou insucesso de uma obra. Embora todas as fases da construção de um projeto, sejam de extrema importância, esta investigação apenas se focou em aspetos relacionados com o controlo dos trabalhos. Os resultados obtidos, a partir da implementação de um questionário junto de um conjunto selecionado de empresas, poderão servir como ponto de partida para futuras pesquisas relacionadas com a valorização que as empresas de construção dão a determinadas áreas em detrimento das restantes. Áreas como a gestão de custos ou a gestão de aquisições/solicitações revelaram-se mais valorizadas pelas empresas de construção, enquanto outras, tais como a gestão do risco, não são tidas em conta. A análise de resultados revelou que a alteração ao projeto inicial, o incumprimento de prazos e as derrapagens orçamentais são as principais causas do insucesso das obras, demonstrando assim a enorme importância de gerir os projetos de forma eficiente.
In a complex macro-economic context, the national building construction companies face challenges related to its performance model in the market, as we live in a society more and more competitive in economic terms. At the same time, consumers became more demanding, more aware and participatory, obliging the construction companies that want to keep not only ative but mainly competitive to otimize the management strategies and the internal management procedures. This is, it became necessary to manage the projects in a professional way to avoid slips, delays and breaks in the quality that have severe consequences both in financial terms and in terms of market. It is in this complex context of action, where the routines are little frequent and where the innovation and the need of adaptation are constant, that arises the need to oppose to the difficult implementation of the teachings of the project management. Fitting this study in this context, its purpose is to analyse if the methodologies of the projects management are used to solve the main problems of the setor. This Master’s thesis intends to identify and analyse the most common practices in the works control made by the building construction companies in order to determine which of the management areas are more valued, the difficulties felt and the main causes for the success/failure of a work. Although all the management areas approached in this study are of extreme importance, the results obtained could be a starting point for future researches related with the valorization that the building companies give to certain areas to the detriment of the remainders. Fields like the costs management or the management of acquisitions/entreaties are more valued by the building companies. Others, like the risk management are not taken in account. The analysis of results showed that the change from the initial project, the failure to comply with deadlines and the budget overruns are the main causes for a work flop. Thus, it shows the enormous importance of the quality of the technical project for the accomplishment of a work.
