Many project deliverables extend beyond a product or a service for sale to customers. The deliverable may include a new or a revised process for internal workflow or relations with customers, suppliers, or partners. The success of these projects will depend upon adoption of the new or revised process in addition to typical metrics for cost, schedule, risk, and quality. The project manager and team will be responsible for “managing organizational change”—a skillset that is not addressed within the Project Management Institute Body of Knowledge. The purpose of this chapter is to provide sufficient knowledge about approaches and implementation for organizational change to achieve total project success. Case studies are included to illustrate best practices and lessons learned.

Project Management Professional

Project management skills and professional certification are quickly developing into required core practice (Hammond et al., 2006). Peter Shears, CEO of the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM), stated at a April, 2006, conference, that there was increased demand for skilled project managers within all organizations across all industry sectors (Hammond et al., 2006). AIPM is an Australian Project Management Web portal offering certifications of AIPM’s Registered Project Management (RegPM). As a supporter of the project management profession, the Project Management Institute (PMI) also plays an enormous role. The PMI Web portal encourages a standard with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide describing what should be done to manage a project. PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential program is also available from the PMI Web portal recognizing and approving skills (Project Management Institute, Inc., 2006).

Behavioral Competencies

The importance of evaluating behaviors as an underpinning component of the project management body of knowledge is widely recognized. This paper reports on research that evaluated the behaviors of two functionally disparate sets of project managers operating within the construction industry. The first comprised those with overall responsibility for the on-site production function (the management contractor), while the second comprised client project managers overseeing project activities on behalf of the procuring organization (client's project managers). The behavioral competencies of both groups were evaluated using the established McBer methodology (cf. Spencer & Spencer, 1993), in which managerial characteristics are measured using behavioral event interviews. A total of 40 superior performing project managers were behaviorally profiled. The findings reveal 11 behaviors that are generic in nature and underpin effectiveness in the project management role, with one additional competency apparently determined by the particular job role context of the project manager. Comparisons are also drawn with the generic management competency profile, which suggests the existence of a range of behaviors specific to the project management discipline. The identification of both generic and job-specific competencies for the project management role has potentially far-reaching implications for the way in which project managers are developed in the future.

Destaques- Análise do modelo de gestão do Sistema de Gestão de Convênios e Contratos de Repasse (SICONV).- Relação estabelecida entre as fases de um convênio, gerido por intermédio do SICONV, e os grupos de processos definidos pelo Project Management Institute (PMI).- O modelo de gestão adotado possui diferentes intensidades de aderência às práticas de gestão de projetos, a depender da área do conhecimento analisada e da fase do ciclo de vida do SICONV.ObjetivoEstudar a aderência entre as práticas de gestão de projetos preconizadas pelo PMI e o SICONV. Mesmo com os esforços do PMI na elaboração do Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) especificamente para o setor de Governo, não há estudo que o relacione com o ambiente eletrônico que fornece suporte às transferências voluntárias (SICONV).AbordagemO artigo aborda os conceitos de projetos e gestão de projetos; contextualiza a gestão de projetos no ambiente público e a organização do Estado Brasileiro, com destaque para o papel dos municípios nas transferências de recursos voluntários; apresenta o SICONV, suas fases e funcionalidades e traça um paralelo entre os grupos de processos do PMI e o fluxo operacional do SICONV.AchadosO modelo definido pelo ambiente SICONV privilegia claramente os aspectos formais e legais das transferências voluntárias de recursos, isto é, a proposição do projeto por parte do ente municipal, a celebração do convênio entre município e governo federal, a formalização do ato, o monitoramento da implementação do projeto e a realização da prestação de contas. Destaca-se, ainda, que o modelo de gestão adotado possui diferentes intensidades de aderência às práticas em gestão de projetos, a depender da área do conhecimento analisada e da fase do ciclo de vida do ambiente.Limitações da pesquisaA análise de aderência das práticas de gestão de projetos ao SICONV indica lacunas que abrem caminho para investigação adicional, haja vista a dinâmica do ambiente apresentado.Implicações práticas A pesquisa apresenta a aderência entre áreas de conhecimento em gestão de projetos e ambiente do SICONV, apontando para a necessidade de se ampliar o modelo com o objetivo de elevar a gestão das transferências voluntárias para patamares mais altos.Originalidade/valor Identifca-se, na literatura especializada, uma forte restrição à ampla adoção de práticas de gestão de projetos na administração pública devido a peculiaridades do ambiente. Assim, entender a aderência existente entre as práticas de gestão de projetos e o SICONV para municípios brasileiros pode ajudar a preencher esta lacuna.

Tools And Methods

Project management is a practice based profession. Just knowing the project management principles does not make a person a successful project manager. It is more important to assess how the candidate applies the project management principle in practice than merely knowing the theoretical aspects of project management. Project Managers play a critical role in the organization. They are responsible for maintaining the revenue stream by ensuring steady flow of project deliverables, be it an internal initiative or a client program. As a Hiring Manager one has to use the right tools and methods to select the right candidate for the position of Project Manager. In this article some of the basic qualities of a Project Manager and the interview techniques adopted to select a Project Manager are discussed. The paper ends with discussion on new competency areas of Project Managers and new roles played by Project Managers in those areas.

Project management plays an important role in the competitive scenario, and achieved in the 1990s the status of methodology (Carvalho & Rabechini, Jr., 2005). Nowadays, there are more than 100,000 practitioners that earned the Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI). This indicator highlights the increasing interest in project management area, especially in the IT companies, which are one of the top five industries in PMI’s membership numbers (PMI, 2005). The widely spread framework proposed by PMI called Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK), now in the third edition (PMBoK, 1996, 2000, 2004), has been adopted by several kinds of project-driven organization (PMI, 2004). PMBoK clusters the main project management best practices in nine key areas. Nevertheless, a research carried out by Standish Group (2003) showed high failure level in IT project in North America. The research involved about 13.522 projects, of which only 34% can be considered a success. The main causes for IT projects failure were related to user’s commitment, manager support and requirement definition. It is important to emphasize that, regarding the project success measure in historical perspective, the success rate improved if compared to the first similar research carried out in 1999, which was just 16%. Based on this scenario, this chapter presents the main organizational project management models in order to help companies to upgrade project performance.
