Gerência de projetos: uma comparação entre o PMBOK e APM

Abstract

Analyzing the scenery of projects of the information technology area, we can realize that, despite the efforts and investments, companies have systematically failed in project delivery systems development. The fault of domain of methods and techniques and/or adoption of erroneous practices of management projects, are the main causes to this failure. There are many methods to the software management project, with different definitions and fundamentals, which in agreement with the peculiarities are indicated to different projects and organizations. In the market of software development there is a strong tendency to the agile development of applications because of the accelerated rhythm of changes. At this work, we realized a comparative study between the classic model PMBOK and the processes included and the techniques of the agile project management. The result is a comparative table that defines the PMBOK processes against the techniques of APM, to different phases of a project. The conclusion of this work shows that to different projects, different ways to manage are more appropriate.
