A Importância do Gerenciamento do Escopo e de suas Mudanças a Fim de Identificar os Impactos Gerados nas Áreas de Prazo, Custo e Qualidade de um Projeto de Exploração Offshore de Petróleo

Abstract

This article presents important aspects related to the project management process, mostly based on the PMI (Project Management Institute) methodology. It addresses key issues for project success, such as what should be observed in managing the scope to minimize impacts on project timing, cost, and quality. In the case study item, greater emphasis is given to the issue, addressing real examples of how the lack of a well-defined scope contributes to inopportune changes to the schedule, cost increase, and declining quality of an offshore oil exploration project. These types of projects, due to their size, complexity and interdisciplinarity, are subject to the scope analysis, making interventions from the basic engineering phase to the execution phase, making management of the scope fundamental for the project to achieve its goals.
