Avaliação comparativa das metodologias na gestão de projetos

Abstract

The present study aims to compare traditional management (PMBOK/Cascata) and agile management models with regard to the result delivered in relation to the time spent on elaboration. For this, in addition to the bibliographical review, a case study was carried out with data obtained through experience in companies that use the two management methodologies together with on-site observation. A comparison was made to facilitate understanding of the benefits of agile management and whether or not there was any relevant damage in relation to traditional models. The main feature of traditional management is the great detailing of the phases to be performed, giving the manager more precise control of the data and tasks that are currently being executed. Agile management has as its main characteristic the focus on delivering the result, which ends up generating less control by the manager over the project phases, since there is no protocol on how to execute it, but on being delivered in the shortest time with the greatest attainable quality. Despite this characteristic, using an agile framework does not necessarily mean lack of quality, and these are the characteristics that are detected in this study. As a main conclusion, it is observed that there is not a better model than the other, but that each one adapts better to certain situations and companies, that is, each one of them meets with its particularities, there is no better or worse model, but what best fits the reality of the project.
