Abstract

This article aims to analyze the maturity level of a multidisciplinary engineering company located in Rio de Janeiro with regard to its practices in project management and to propose a structured alternative for the maturation of its management processes in order to promote performance improvement of your projects. In order to support this analysis, in theoretical terms, the study is supported by a systematic survey of the literature. In empirical terms, it investigates the level of maturity in project management by applying the Project Management Maturity Model (MMGP) and conducting interviews with project managers and the company's top management, in order to confront their perception regarding the standards of good practices in project management evidenced in the literature. As a result, the study confirms a level of initial maturity in project management, with considerable distortion between the perceptions of the groups of respondents, pointing out the main problems in project development. In view of the distortions and the low level of maturity analyzed, a model for the implementation of a Project Management Office (PMO) is proposed as an adequate mechanism for the creation and continuous improvement of processes, methodologies and standards for planning and controlling future projects.
