Description
Summary:This article analyzes monitoring and control techniques and tools and their influence on project management and performance. It researches the current literatme, the Bodies of Knowledge approach and the managers' perspective. The article studies the impact of the use of methodologies, techniques and tools on the outcomes of various projects carried out recently by a sample of interviewees. Through interpretive work the view of the Bodies of Knowledge is reviewed and synthesized. Information from project managers in various sectors is collected in order to analyze the correlation between variables that determine the application of monitoring and control methodologies, techniques and/or tools and variables that determine the success criteria in projects. The impact of the adoption of techniques and tools was evident on project performance. There was a positive influence of the use of techniques and tools on the results. It was found that some sectors do not use enough methodologies, techniques and tools. The empirical study proved the importance of using these tools as a success factor in project management and performance. We aim to contribute with an actual approach of the use of techniques and tools in project monitoring and control processes, thus promoting the implementation of both traditional and new tools. The importance of project management is presented in order to increase the interest of researchers in it as a knowledge field applicable to various sectors. The methodology used to prepare the study is useful in project management contexts and provides a procedure that allows an adequate analysis, data processing and results presentation, both interpretively and graphically.
