Gerenciamento de Riscos em Projetos de Engenharia

This study explored the strategic role of risk management in project optimization, with emphasis on team training and case analysis contextualized within the Brazilian scenario. The central research question was: How can risk management be effectively implemented to add value to a project? The study hypothesized that combining structured methodologies inspired by ISO 31000 and the PMBOK Guide would be effective. The objective was to demonstrate the importance of this integrated approach, present training strategies, highlight the effective use of the probability matrix, and analyze the impact of risk management through case studies. Using a qualitative approach, the study combined a literature review with the analysis of real cases in different projects. To support the research, case studies were examined in various contexts, including the Panama Canal expansion project (JEONG; CRITTENDEN; XU, 2009), the California High-Speed Rail system (CALIFORNIA HIGH-SPEED RAIL AUTHORITY, 2023), and cases described by Kerzner (2017), such as McRoy Aerospace, The Poor Worker, and Boeing. The results showed that organizations with formal risk management processes and trained teams can achieve greater predictability in project performance, reducing delays and costs by up to 30%. It was concluded that risk management, when integrated into organizational culture and combined with continuous training, becomes a competitive advantage, adding value to projects and strengthening organizational resilience.
