Abstract

The present work aims to generate the proposal for the implementation of a Project Management Office for the company Instelmec SAS. This allows to align to the processes currently carried out with the strategic objectives proposed by the organization. Projects are currently executed based on the staff experience. Under the above considerations, the organization does not have standardized processes that allow projects to be executed in an organized manner. Based on the review of the project management assets referenced in this study, they are combined and applied to the analysis of the information collected in the Instelmec organization to subsequently generate an implementation plan for the Project Management Office and on which its objectives, scope, limitations, mission, vision, roles and other aspects related to Instelmec SAS projects are defined. In the development of this research, different measurement instruments were applied, such as surveys, interviews, audits and maturity model, in order to determine the most appropriate Project Management Office in the organization. The organization was analyzed from different points of view, such as project portfolio management, organizational culture and project effectiveness, project management practices and project management maturity measurement. With the results obtained, a basic Project Management Office was designed.
