Gestão da construção de hidrelétrica de grande porte : aderência de práticas gerenciais ao modelo PMBOK® ênfase em tempo, custo e comunicação

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the adherence of the management practices proposed in the PMBOK® in the construction management of two major hydroelectric power plant in the year of 2005. Twenty-three PMBOK® propositions were selected. The data needed for this study was collected through direct observations at job sites, documents assessments and interviews using multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. Job site managers, executives and consultant were interviewed so as to get different views of the data collected. A bibliographic research was elaborated about the project management matter. The research was mainly based on the PMBOK®. The research results attest that the company management practices are applied in both projects and that they are adherents to the PMBOK® propositions. In addition, it was possible to describe management practices related to the time, cost and communication variables and others relevant practices that were taken for granted by PMBOK®. This study recommends that the references related to the project critical path and budget are among the prior aspects to be investigated in future researches about project management.
