Análise da aplicação dos conceitos de gerenciamento de projetos do PMBOK no projeto Baja SAE da UFPB

Abstract

Several works consider project management as an essential resource for the development of any project or product. In the professional sphere, this ability has been increasingly valued. Faced with this, the professionals who have practical experiences in project management stand out among the others, that often only know the theory. The Baja SAE project is notable for providing to the students the practical application of project management concepts.It consists of the design, development and construction of an off-road prototype, witch is rigorously evaluated in regional, nacional and internacional competitions. This work intends to evaluate project management performed by the Baja SAE team, from UFPB, and compare to the PMBOK Guide.The comparison was made from the management areas of the PMBOK and the processes that belong to each one of them, analyzing the level of attendance of the team for each process. They were evaluated, classified into levels of achievement and, at the end, identified the areas that most comply with PMBOK processes and those that least meet. The results showed that the Baja SAE project covers all the areas and processes of the PMBOK.The consequences of the project were evidenced by areas with lower levels of achievement and suggested methods of prioritization to correct these processes. In addition, the reasons why some of them were not fully achieved were exposed and actions have been defined to make the team able to meet all the PMBOK processes.
