O planejamento de front-end (FEP), fase inicial do ciclo de vida de um projeto, desempenha um papel importante ao alinhar os objetivos de negócio com os elementos do projeto, como escopo, custos e cronograma, antes do início da execução. Embora o FEP seja tradicionalmente associado a projetos de grande porte, ele também é relevante para projetos de pequeno porte. No entanto, a ausência de uma base teórica robusta e de ferramentas simplificadas de FEP para esse contexto deixa os gestores sem orientação eficaz. Além disso, a suposição de que projetos de pequeno porte são menos críticos contribui para a negligência sistêmica de etapas essenciais de planejamento, resultando em mais falhas, custos elevados e perda de alinhamento estratégico. Para preencher essa lacuna, este estudo propõe um modelo para FEP de projetos de pequeno porte. Com base na Teoria da Contingência Estrutural e na Governança de Projetos, o modelo proposto está alinhado às restrições contextuais dos projetos de pequeno porte. Foi adotada uma metodologia qualitativa, com revisão da literatura para identificar modelos de FEP que fundamentaram a proposta de um novo modelo para projetos de pequeno porte. O modelo foi validado por dois grupos: profissionais com baixa maturidade em projetos e especialistas com experiência profissional e acadêmica. A principal contribuição desta pesquisa está em seu modelo prático e acessível para projetos de pequeno porte, enfatizando o FEP como uma ferramenta para alinhamento estratégico e gestão eficaz de projetos.
