Fatores críticos na gestão de projetos: uma abordagem utilizando a estatística não paramétrica

Abstract

Project management allows organizations to better manage their resources and activities, making it easier for them to become more productive and efficient. Given this, the objective of this work is to analyze the critical success factors for project management and, consequently, a possible expansion of the iron triangle. To this end, they were applied to 21 large and medium-sized companies developing information system software, located in the metropolitan region of Greater Recife semistructured questionnaires with pre-defined response options using non-parametric tests such as Sperman and Wilcoxon. The nonparametric tests showed the iron triangle insufficiency to determine the success of the project management, but ratified its essentiality to obtain it. In relation to the expansion of the iron triangle, this was impossible, since the 7 critical factors were statistically significant for the successful management of projects. Thus, it was possible to verify that the success of project management is far from having only the classic factors linked to the iron triangle and the scope of project management, it is necessary to consider factors other than those already mentioned.
