Planejamento e controle de obras utilizando o MS Project

Abstract

The planning of construction projects is of utmost importance for the success of a construction project. It involves defining goals, deadlines, resources, and strategies necessary to carry out the project efficiently and within the established budget. Technological advancements have brought about positive changes in the field of construction. Nowadays, software programs are being developed to offer enhanced control and management of construction projects, such as Microsoft Project (MS Project). This allows for the creation of detailed schedules, identification of critical path activities, inclusion of input costs, and provides a wide range of additional resources. Therefore, the objective of this work was to perform the planning and control of a project using MS Project tools, enabling the development of a physical schedule, identification of critical path activities, allocation of resources to determine initial and actual project costs, and ultimately, an analysis of performance comparing actual costs with the values obtained in the commercial proposal.
