This thesis explores theories and methodologies aimed at improving the project management process and internal tools of a case study company facing the necessity for renewal due to the expansion of its activities.
The study is divided into three main areas. First, it addresses the improvement of the primary project management process, with a focus on the implementation of Lean and Agile methodologies, presented as a blend of both, applied to project management activities. The second area focuses on enhancing the tools and techniques used in the company's monitoring and control processes. The third and final area involves the automation of project reporting to reduce the time spent on reporting activities.
This thesis employs qualitative methods, including company data collection, daily interactions with per-sonnel, semi-structured interviews, and theoretical research. The results include a new project manage-ment process for the company, the selection and standardization of tools and techniques for monitoring and control activities, and the automation of reports generated by the project management department. In conclusion, this thesis is beneficial not only for addressing the specific needs of the case study compa-ny but also for providing guidance to anyone seeking to improve their project management processes and activities.
