Ferramentas e softwares para gerenciamento de projetos de um grupo de instituições do ensino privado

Abstract

It is already settled in organizations that, in order to achieve project management success, it is fundamental that the methodology is described in a clear and objective way, aligned with the organizational strategic objectives, disseminated and applied by all. However, in addition to the methodology, it is necessary that the projects be monitored and controlled, so that, in the course of its execution, no deviations occur that could affect the project result. Such control activity is usually performed by a sector called EGP (Project Management Office) or PMO (Project Management Institute), which periodically performs the measurement of project activities using some tools and software. This research seeks to identify the tools and software for monitoring and control of projects available in the literature and the criteria used by project managers to select the ones that best fit the projects of their organization. For this, a Case Study was conducted with the EGP of a group of private education institutions in the Federal District. This is a basic research, with qualitative approach and deductive method, whose data and information were gathered from interviews and participation in a Workshop with professionals from the EGP of the group studied. Finally, it was concluded that the monitoring and control process still does not occur in the organization, however, there are already tools and software chosen to assist in its realization, since the EGP is taking the first steps to its structuring.
