RESUMO

Project management has been more studied and different approaches can be found in the literature generated by the researches and by practioners. This subject has been considered a strategic aspect for successful companies. That is the reason for, in the past years, lots of companies have been investing a huge amount of money in project management, feeding the controversial discussion about the results with the application of these methods in relation to the return of investments. This thesis has the objective to analyze the benefits generated by the use of these methods for the organizations. The methodological approach is based on a quantitative model in which the intention is to relate the implementation level of methods and training in project management to the success of the projects. The empirical research was conducted in a large multinational company, with diversified participation in the market, making business in many industrial sectors. Ten different business units took part in this study, from three countries and ten industrial sectors: components, energy, industry, maintenance, medicine, oil and gas, security, information technology, telecommunications and transportation. Although all the business units adopt the same package of corporate project management methods, they present different levels of implementation. The database was collected in a timeframe of two years and is composed by 1387 projects. The research results point out a positive influence in project success measured by the accomplishment of project time and cost, mainly because of the higher utilization level of the project management methods and the higher effort in project management training. In other direction, it was verified that the more complex the project, more difficult is to obtain the planned results. The use of methods has a statistical positive impact in the operational results of projects, measured through the fulfillment of projects budget and time, as the effort in project management training has a statistical positive impact in the operational results of them. Additionally the project complexity has a positive impact in the operational results of it.
