“…For effective management of uncertainty, some preventive and precautionary procedures can be developed (Silvius, 2016a(Silvius, , 2016b. Due to uncertain, irreversible, typical, non-linear, dynamic and complex events in the projects, it is always recommended to prevent such uncertain developments and uncertain problems to happen in comparison to correcting or solving them later for the sustainability in the projects (Makui et al, 2010;Bakker et al, 2010). Most of the times the management of an organization is restricted to take certain steps in uncertainty and threats.…”

Sustainability in project operations such as financial, social and environmental sustainability is one of the most prominent issues of the present times to address. The increased focus on sustainable business operations has changed the viewpoint of researchers and corporate community towards the project management. Today sustainability in business operations along with sustainability of natural and environmental resources are of paramount significance which has further caused a huge impact on conception, planning, scheduling and execution of the project management activities. In this paper, a literature review between 1987 and 2018 on different issues affecting the sustainability in project management is carried out. The present study also identifies and discusses the future possibilities to apply computational procedures in order to estimate and optimize the sustainability issues in the management of projects, for example the computational evolutionary algorithms can be applied to formulate the multi-objective decisionmaking problem after considering critical factors of sustainability in the projects and then yielding optimized solutions for the formulated problem to achieve sustainability in the projects. A new integrated framework with the inclusion of feedback function for assessment of each decision and actions taken towards the sustainability of the projects is also identified and presented.

Abstract:The environment in which organizations operate is shown increasingly complex and competitive, leading companies to structure themselves in order to get quick, flexible and innovative responses. Projects are important instruments for promoting change and development. Since the 1990s, it's been intensified in organizations the creation of the Projects Managements Offices, accepted by executive, which is the central point of support within the organization, so that work oriented by projects will be completed within the constraints of the business. The international research indicates the Project Management Office as a focus of interest, since the results found have not yet reached the answers needed to help professionals to solve their problems. This paper aims to evaluate the performance of the Project Management Office, from the constructs: "implementation strategies", "capacitation and personnel training" and "control of the operations environment in projects". The approach was a quantitative research in a single cross-sectional study and the conceptual model was examined with Structural Equation Modeling. The results indicate the degree of influence of constructs on Project Management Office performance, and people, is the most significant predictor, followed by strategies and finally operations.

“…De Bakker et al (2010) identificam duas abordagens na literatura que descrevem a gestão de riscos em projetos: a) a abordagem de avaliação, onde informações sobre o histórico de falhas e suas causas em experiências passadas são utilizadas em listas de verificação ou empregadas para montar a estrutura de projetos futuros e gerir seus riscos; b) abordagem de gestão, que considera a gestão de riscos de um projeto particular.…”

EMPREGO MILITAR RESUMOO objetivo desse artigo é analisar a gestão de risco no contexto de sistemas militares, desenvolvidos por meio de parcerias público privadas. A abordagem de pesquisa adotada é de estudo exploratório desenvolvido em três projetos de modernização de veículos militares. Os resultados sugerem que há uma grande atenção para evitar riscos técnicos, o que desencoraja qualquer modificação do material. Outro aspecto destacado é o risco jurídico dado que vários projetos são parcerias público privadas, sendo que os aspectos legais têm forte influência para o formato do projeto, demandando a integração de especialistas de direito à equipe. A cadeia de suprimentos é crítica e o fluxo de material precisa ser ágil, mas é difícil determinar a priori a demanda real de peças de reposição. Dados históricos demonstram que as previsões ruins foram as principais causas do aumento de custos.

The research approach is an exploratory study developed in three projects for modernization. The results suggest that there is great attention to avoid technical risk, which discourages any modification of the military material. Another important aspect is the legal risk, as several projects are public-private partnerships models, and the legal aspects have a strong influence on the contract agreements, requiring the integration of law experts to the team. The supply chain is critical and the flow of material needs to be agile, but it faces several barrier, including contract constraints and on estimate actual demand to determine a priori. Historical data show that the bad forecast were the main causes of increased costs.
