Gestão de projetos de design sob a ótica do Design Thinking

Abstract

Project management in companies consists of the actions developed in the phases of a project to ensure that the design premises are met, quality, costs, and time. Because it is such a relevant field in the search for improvements in the production process, the objective of this study is to use the Design Thinking methodology to provide contributions to project management at the Junior Company of the UFC Design Course, Keréus. Design Thinking was used because it is a methodology that provides people-focused solutions; and (2) is immersive and non-linear, leaving research with more practical content, through a case study. The research stages were immersion, ideation, and prototyping and the results found, based on an analysis of the Junior Enterprise data, showed that the main difficulties in management were the execution time and the planning of tasks. Thus, this research proposed the use of tools to support these activities. The tools were Time Box and Gantt Chart. In the end, graphs were elaborated that translate the productivity data by the Designer and the execution time of the tasks.
