Despite the proliferation as well as great advances in the development of dynamic models applied to project management, research that applies system dynamics principles to program management does not seem to be as fertile. The objective of this paper is to obtain a more accurate vision of how the system dynamics theory is being used in the development of the program management field. The bibliometric-qualitative study confirms there is a robust use of system dynamics tools in the project management area, with a wide range of applications as well as solid results. The study, however, also shows that for programs, despite a noticeable increase regarding the interest in program management by organizations, clearly there is much less research uniting program management and system dynamics. More importantly, some dynamic models are being used to improve the performance of programs, however, few studies take into consideration the specific variables from program management. Thus, we conclude that current research on these two topics can only be viewed as fragmented and in its early stages, offering ample room for improvement.
O objetivo principal deste artigo é apresentar a incorporação na EAP dos princípios e ferramentas da DS para melhorar o desempenho da execução dos projetos, propondo a EAP Dinâmica (EAPD). Para isso, no referencial teórico são discutidos os problemas nos atuais modelos de gestão de projetos e apontadas algumas consequências dessas deficiências. Sob uma abordagem INTRODUÇÃO Segundo o PMI (2013), a EAP é a decomposição hierárquica do escopo do trabalho a ser executado pelas equipes de projeto a fim de alcançar os objetivos do projeto e criar as entregas exigidas. Esse tipo de decomposição está amparada por uma premissa, que afirma que, por mais que os projetos sejam únicos, suas partes constituintes já foram desenvolvidas antes por outros projetos, carregando em si experiências que facilitam o desenvolvimento de estimativas razoáveis (RODRIGUES;BOWERS, 1996). Porém, para esses mesmos pesquisadores, as estimativas desenvolvidas considerando as partes isoladas dos projetos,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
