Gestão de projetos: as dificuldades de gerir projetos em pequenos municípios

Abstract

This exploratory research based on a case study was carried out through consultations in books, articles, electronic sources and interviews, to understand aspects of project management in Public Management of a small municipality located in Livramento (PB). The article discusses the challenges faced by the preparation, monitoring and evaluation of projects, examines the challenges and opportunities faced for the application of the best work management practices at the local governance level in the object municipality. The study allowed us to understand the difficulties in managing projects in small towns, mainly due to political agendas, expectations of local inhabitants, and, at present, the Covid 19 Pandemic. The work has technical and functional limitations by not considering the department of bids and that it relates strongly to the project manager. The authors recommend deepening the theme in new studies with small and medium-sized municipalities, to make the execution of projects more efficient, effective and effective.
