Aplicação do método Scrumbanfall na melhoria de gestão de múltiplos projetos simultâneos

Abstract

The project engineering department of a company is seen as a strategic part of its structure, this is due to its characteristic of being able to participate in decisions regarding the company's future, as it is directly involved in contributions related to new processes, products or maintenance of the operation of this company. For this reason, it is important to constantly seek to optimize project management, to reduce waste, avoid delays and apply available resources correctly, seeking to extract the best possible result for the company. This work aimed to propose the use of a methodology (scrumbanfall) based on existing models, in order to obtain a project management format adapted to an environment of multiple simultaneous projects. For this, the specific objectives of the research were guided by mapping of activities within the department, the carrying out of a survey of good practices within existing methodologies and the combination of these good practices in a method adapted to the environment in which the study was carried out. As for the methodology, this research is observed through the prism of a field research, with qualitative-quantitative research strategies and was promoted through a case study carried out within a company in the industrial center of Manaus. Based on the history of 25 projects completed between 2019 and 2020, it was possible to assemble a comparison database and map the opportunities for improvement in management processes in the research environment before applying the methodology. As for the results, the study presented solutions for the 9 opportunities for improvement found, the main improvement being related to significant impacts in the management of project schedules, achieving the reduction of delays both in the delivery of the completed project and in the stages that comprise it, this reduction was observed by evaluating the adherence of projects to the schedule after applying the methodology. In addition to these results, this research collaborates with academia by presenting the application of a management methodology little discussed in other researches, thus expanding the knowledge about the application of this model in an environment different from the researches already proposed. Furthermore, the study presents ideas of easy reapplication and can be used by the company in managing multiple simultaneous projects in different scenarios
