Impacto do planejamento no sucesso de projetos

Abstract

The present study sought to analyze the relationship between planning and project success, to assess which aspects most influence success and the impact of the project context on planning. In planning, the dimensions of planning quality, changes in goals and project plans were selected, and for success, efficiency, effectiveness and customer satisfaction were selected. A survey was conducted with all 119 members of the Project Management Institute, Bahia Chapter, an institution made up of professionals linked to the areas of project management, in different sectors of the industry, such as engineering, planning, information technology, consulting, construction, oil & gas, automation, chemical & petrochemical, education and telecommunications. The results obtained demonstrate that the planning element that most impacts the success of the project is the quality of planning. Goal changes also have a strong impact on project success, but plan changes, despite having a correlation with project success, have shown to have a low effect, and plan changes may occur in both successful and unsuccessful projects. With the reflection of these results, one can emphasize the importance of project management in order to improve their results and more specifically, in the management of changes that is often relegated during project execution. Its use proved to be of fundamental importance for the success of the projects.
