Aplicação da metodologia ágil de gestão de projetos em engenharia civil: proposta de implantação do Scrum em escritórios de projetos

Abstract

Civil engineering and a wide variety of other industries face challenges when it comes to project management. Difficulties in meeting deadlines, dealing with unforeseen changes, reviewing strategies, and satisfying market expectations by executive managers are all issues commonly observed in this context. In response to these challenges, the application of agile methodologies aims to help companies address and overcome such problems. With this in mind, this study sought to analyze the structure of an agile methodology, Scrum, and propose its application in a civil engineering project office. To understand this structure, initial research was conducted on the topic, followed by a study on the feasibility of its implementation in a project office setting. Once its potential use was confirmed, an implementation methodology was proposed, divided into steps designed to facilitate understanding of the framework and the practical application of Scrum principles and definitions. To assess the application of this methodology in real projects, a Model Office and a Base Project were defined and developed. These aimed to simulate real-world market conditions for civil engineering project offices within the implementation model. Based on the characteristics of the office and the project, a model was then proposed for implementing the previously developed methodology. The result was a set of actions established and recommended for application in civil engineering project offices.
