Abstract :
The purpose of project management is mainly the planning, monitoring and control of activities, as well as the human resources and inputs involved in the organization for the development of a project. Project management methodologies and procedures operate in a wide range of applications, from administrative projects to complex engineering projects. Organizations develop projects that require different processes than traditional ones. These projects, limited by resources and deadlines, require the participation of people with different competences, which generates unusual conflicts. Companies need to develop projects that require structures and treatments different from traditional ones. Innovation has never been as present as it is today, everyone talks and reads about it. Innovation is a process that must allow and encourage the generation of ideas, as well as define the tasks and activities so that these concepts become innovative products and services of value
