The structure of the work was composed by na exploratory study and bibliographic research, as well as collecting direct information from the Process Office, in search of greater experiences within the organization. During this process, some Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) methodologies, tools and standardization were studied and suggested as support for future Project control.
