Study goals
The objective of the study was to complement the principles of NBR ISO 9001: 2015 already used in the management of the project "Sífilis Não" project with good practices from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and also with the use of an electronic spreadsheet for each axis , in order to monitor and control the distance to its execution. In order to promote continuous improvement promotion, error analysis, decision making and validation of new proposals for insertion of change management.
Relevance / originality
This work was carried out in order to promote solutions in view of the need to promote continuous improvement, error analysis, decision making and validation of new proposals within the present macroprocesses for the execution of the research project "Applied Research for Intelligent Integration Oriented to Strengthening of Attention Networks for Rapid Response to Syphilis ", developed by the Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health (LAIS) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), in the Monitoring and Control stage, in such a way that it was possible to register the effort used for actions to understand the real percentage of execution and to seek to improve inefficient or stalled processes.
Methodology / approach
We had the construction of a spreadsheet based on PMBOK good practices, being used to monitor the execution of goals and activity by Axis. Discussions were also held for its usability and to promote the adoption of a new methodology, in which an Agenda was held to hold monthly / bimonthly Control Point meetings with the representatives of each axis.
Main results
This report had as main results: The development and application of a monitoring and control tool for the Syphilis Project Not by axes, as well as the development and application of a methodology for the use of the tool. As effects of the application and use of the Good practices of the PMBOK Guide it was realized: The possibility of comparing the real percentage with the predicted, providing information compiled for reports and documentation and generating a quick and macro view of the project; the understanding of the health of the project, when analyzing referrals or activities that need to be analyzed for not having the percentage of execution as expected; space for including corrective or preventive actions; space to deliberate changes in project activities; risk analysis when discussing the best institutional or interinstitutional paths for carrying out an action or changing an activity; providing forecasts and attention to seek relevant information that is not available; maintaining a base of accurate and useful information about the products, services and results of the project. Finally, the original intention of creating conditions capable of promoting continuous improvement, decision making and change management is fulfilled.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
As a theoretical contribution, the report indicates that the adoption of principles and norms to promote quality in the organization, as well as good project practices, both internationally recognized, generate benefits in the Monitoring and Control processes in large Projects. As a methodological contribution, the report demonstrates the applicability of good practices in control tools (spreadsheets) and methodologies for their use in a connected, integrated and close manner, as well as some effects caused in the organization. Spreadsheets and referral tracking processes can help other organizations.
Social / management contributions
he management of a large project has great relevance with regard to the social impacts generated by the effective realization of the same. We sought to improve the monitoring resources, so that aspects such as requirements collection, data flows, communication process, become increasingly easy to be managed, creating a participatory, precise and solid environment, as a reference for other projects nationwide and other possible works inspired by this technical report.
