“…From the analysis of Theme 2 (Apply SD tools for problem resolution), two of them approach the issue of risk management in programs, one approaches the question of procurement and changes, one discusses decision-making for a technical solution used in a program, and the last one identified four system archetypes from problems in program management approaches. Els et al (2006) and Samrah et al (2017) deal with risk management in programs. Samrah et al (2017), state that there are differences between concepts of projects and programs, judging as an error to consider them the same entity, or even to use the same structures to manage them, as each one of these areas has lifecycles with their characteristics and different objectives to be reached.…”

This research developed an initial qualitative model with variables identified in the literature of risks already mapped, which can generate positive or negative influences in programs.…”

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.
