Challenges and Attributes for an Agile Management Roadmap of Information and Communication Technology (Ict) Project Portfolio: A Literature System Review

Objective: To identify the challenges and attributes that contribute to the implementation of information and communication technology (ICT) portfolio management in federal public universities. Theoretical Framework: The research addresses a gap in the portfolio management of ICT projects in public universities. Methods: A literature review was conducted using the Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, and CAPES databases, employing the PRISMA-P protocol for article selection and filtering. Results and Discussion:: Six major challenges and thirteen attributes were identified that facilitate the development of artifacts specific to the ICT sector in public universities. The study presents two summary tables: one outlining the challenges and another detailing the attributes for developing a roadmap. The study provides guidelines for federal public universities to enhance efficiency in the management of ICT project portfolios. Research Implications: The implications of this research provide guidelines to optimize ICT portfolio management in public universities, impacting sectors such as public administration and digital transformation. The results can guide the implementation of effective strategies to improve governance and efficiency in technological projects. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by identifying and analyzing challenges and attributes specific to ICT Project Portfolio Management (ICT-PPM) in the context of Brazilian public universities. The originality lies in the systematic approach to understanding gaps and ideal characteristics for ICT-PPM, promoting more mature governance processes. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by its potential to guide the implementation of effective digital transformation strategies in public institutions.
