O presente trabalho realizou um estudo das possibilidades de posicionamento do escritório de gerenciamento de projetos para contextos estratégicos dentro das organizações. A ênfase do estudo encontra-se em avaliar as dificuldades de se implementar estratégias corporativas através de projetos e a forma com a qual um escritório de gerenciamento de projetos pode, de forma prática, contribuir em processos de formação de portfólio de projetos dentro dos processos de planejamento estratégico e orçamentário das organizações. Como estratégia da pesquisa, foi desenvolvida uma revisão da literatura relacionada aos processos de planejamento estratégico e orçamentário, gestão de portfólio de projetos e das estruturas especialistas conhecidas na literatura especializada como escritórios de gerenciamento de projetos. Desta revisão estabelece-se um modelo de proposição teórica para a inserção de escritório de gerenciamento de projetos em contextos estratégicos. Em um estudo de caso, o trabalho apresenta a comparação dos principais elementos de referência da teoria com as evidências identificadas na prática. A realidade, neste particular contexto, propiciou a validação da aplicabilidade de alguns instrumentos disponíveis e as dificuldades de aplicação dos mesmos, permitindo confirmar a validade teórica do modelo proposto sob vários aspectos. Neste trabalho fez-se também o uso intensivo de conceitos da Cibernética organizacional e do modelo do VSM (Viable System Model), proposto por Stafford Beer. O VSM foi utilizado principalmente como ferramenta de análise e enquadramento do modelo teórico proposto com as evidências do estudo de caso. Muitos dos aspectos, problemas e relações causais apresentados no estudo de caso puderam ser avaliados de forma prática e demonstraram-se coerentes com a proposta de que os problemas de desempenho verificados nas organizações podem ser analisados sob a perspectiva da violação de algum princípio da Cibernética. / The current work presents a study over the positioning possibilities of project management offices in the organization\'s strategic environment. The emphasis of this study is on the assessment of the implementations difficulties of the strategies through projects and how a project management office can contribute to reduce these difficulties by supporting project portfolio selection under corporate strategic planning and budgeting processes. As a research strategy, a literature review was developed covering corporate strategic planning and budgeting processes, project portfolio management as well specialist organizational structures known as project management office. From this review, it was built a theory model proposition for project management office insertion on the corporate strategic environment. Through case study analysis, it is submited conclusions obtained from theory review against the identified practical evidences. In this particular research it was possible identify the applicability and difficulties of some available instruments and the proposed theory model was validated under many aspects. In addition, it was made an intensive use of concepts from the organizational Cybernetics\' theory and the viable system model - VSM, proposed by Stafford Beer. The VSM was useful as holistic analysis tool to categorize the proposed theory models against the evidences identified in the case study. Many aspects, problems and causal relationships presented in the case study were assessed in a practical way and proved consistency with the proposal that organizational performance problems could be analyzed under the perspective of some Cybernetic\'s principies violation.

Continuous delivery (CD) is a software engineering approach where the focus lays on creating a short delivery cycle by automating parts of the deployment pipeline which includes build, deploy-, test and release process. CD is based on that during development should be possible to always automatically generate a release based on the source code in its current state. One of CD's many advantages is that through continuous releases it allows you to get a quick feedback loop leading to faster and more efficient implementation of new functions, at the same time fixing errors. Although CD has many advantages, there are also several challenges a maintenance management project must manage in the transition to CD. These challenges may differ depending on the maturity level for a maintenance management project and what strengths and weaknesses the project has. Our research question was: "What challenges can a maintenance management project face in transition to Continuous delivery?" The purpose of this study is to describe Continuous delivery and the challenges a maintenance management project may face during a transition to Continuous delivery. A descriptive case study has been carried out with the data collection methods of interviews and documents. A situation analysis was created based on the collected data in a shape of a process model that represent the maintenance management projects release process. The processmodel was used as the basis of SWOT analysis and analysis by Rehn et al's Maturity Model. From these analyzes we found challenges of a maintenance management project may face in the transition to CD. The challenges are about customers and the management's attitude towards a transition to CD. But the biggest challenge is about automation of the deployment pipeline steps. / Continuous Delivery (CD) är en metod inom systemutveckling där fokus ligger på att skapa en kort leveranscykel genom att automatisera delar av deployment pipeline vilket innehåller bygg-, deploy-, test- och releaseprocessen. CD bygger på att det alltid under pågående utveckling skall vara möjligt att automatiskt generera en release utifrån källkoden i dess aktuella tillstånd. En av CD’s många fördelar är att man genom kontinuerliga releaser får en snabb feedbackloop vilket leder till snabbare och effektivare införande av nya funktioner, samtidigt som man åtgärdar fel. Även om CD har många fördelar finns det också flera utmaningar ett förvaltningsuppdrag måste hantera vid en övergång till CD. Dessa utmaningar kan skilja sig beroende på vilken mognadsnivå ett förvaltningsuppdrag befinner sig i och vilka styrkor och svagheter uppdraget har. Vår frågeställning har varit: "Vilka utmaningar kan ett förvaltningsuppdrag stå inför vid en övergång till Continuous Delivery?" Syftet med denna studie är att få en ökad förståelse för Continuous Delivery samt vilka utmaningar förvaltningsuppdrag kan stå inför vid en övergång till Continuous Delivery. En beskrivande fallstudie har genomförts med datainsamlingsmetoderna intervjuer och dokument. Av insamlad data skapades en nulägesanalys i form av en processmodell över förvaltningsuppdragens releaseprocess. Den har använts som grund för en SWOT- analys och en analys med hjälp Rehn mfl’s Maturity model. I från dessa analyser kom vi fram till utmaningar ett förvaltningsuppdrag kan stå inför vid en övergång till CD. Utmaningarna handlar dels om kunder och ledningens inställningar inför en övergång till CD. Men den största utmaningen gäller automatisering av delarna i deployment pipeline.

Final thesis deals with functions and usage of software for project management in the specific conditions of project management background of organization. Introduction into project management software presents it's characteristics, usage and roles when providing support of project management activities and procedures. Models of organization's project management are defined by investigation of usage of software for project management in the specific conditions of organization. Based on detailed analysis of software functions we define functional spectra, which specify importance of functional areas of software for every model of organization's project management. Such concept of functinal spectra can be used when evaluating suitability of using existing software for project management in terms and conditions of concrete organization. Last chapter of the thesis gives example of usage of functional spectra concept for selection of the software which fits the best to the project management background of the company.

The Information technologies are becoming a key element in achieving an advantage above your competitors. Therefore, it is as important coming up with new and original ideas as well as having the ability to enforce those ideas by current management. The chances of enforcing new ideas are higher if you manage to implement the changes within set up forecast. The lack of flexibility and a low percentage of successful projects within these limits were the main motivation for composing this Master Thesis. There is an introduction to the agile project management in the first part of this paper and a specific implementation example of this method in the second part.
