The global social, ecological and economic challenges facing humanity today have given rise to the UN's 17 Global Objectives and Agenda 2030 to achieve sustainable development. Kate Raworth, professor of economics from Oxford University, has in the same spirit developed a visual framework with seven related conditions for mankind to live by, to strive towards living within a safe and fair zone of sustainable development. This framework and associated conditions for sustainable development are applied in this study with the intention to investigate and concretize the potentially contributing sustainable development effects of a norm-creative waste management project in a process of sustainable societal development. The results of the study show clear evidence that the waste management project has contributed to sustainable societal development according to the respondents who participated in the study. However, further studies are required to concretize these results through a more scientifically objective methodology. / De globala sociala, ekologiska och ekonomiska utmaningarna som mänskligheten står inför i dagsläget har gett upphov till FN’s 17 globala mål och agenda 2030 för att vägleda mänskligheten mot en hållbar utveckling. Kate Raworth, professor i ekonomi från Oxfords universitet, har i samma anda utvecklat ett visuellt ramverk med sju tillhörande förutsättningar för mänskligheten att sträva mot för att leva inom ett säkert och rättvist utrymme av hållbar utveckling. Detta ramverk och tillhörande förutsättningar för hållbar utveckling appliceras i den här studien med syftet att undersöka och konkretisera ett normkreativt avfallsprojekts potentiellt bidragande effekter till en hållbar samhällsutveckling. Resultatet av undersökningen påvisar tydliga belägg för att avfallsprojektet har bidragit till en hållbar samhällsutveckling utefter det teoretiska ramverket enligt respondenter som deltagit i studien. Det krävs dock vidare studier för att konkretisera dessa resultat i mer objektiva sammanhang.

For reaching this purpose, the researcher chose a qualitative approach and utilized the proceeding of case study of a public school of the school system of São Paulo State/School Division of Ourinhos Region. For collecting relevant information and perspective of the subjects involved in the research, three instruments were used: observation of school environment, document analysis, and semistructured interview. Members of school segments represented in the School Board (Principal, vice-principal, two coordinators, six teachers, two functionaries, four parents, and four pupils) were subjects of the research. Data analysis revealed significant aspects related to the obstacles in the utilization of relevant information resulting from the external and internal institutional evaluation, for the collective, continuous and effective reflection and for the mobilization of collective actions in the process of elaboration, follow-up and reformulation of the Educative Project, the Management Project, and yearly school plans. The internal and external school self-evaluation should be implemented in a way more coherent with school reality and need and become a pedagogical and political instrument to be utilized, with the school community participation, for the elaboration of her projects and plans of school pedagogical work and for their periodical updating and adaptation to the new historical context of society and school. It became evident that institutional evaluation should become an instrument to be used by the public school of basic education for overcoming her limitations and difficulties in a process which permits to improve her pedagogical practice, thus making possible the improvement of her management, and as a consequence, improving the quality of basic education. / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar como a escola pública de educação básica vem utilizando os resultados da avaliação institucional nas suas formas de avaliação interna e externa para aprimoramento de sua gestão, de seus projetos e planos para superar suas limitações e dificuldades na melhoria do ensino. Para alcançar esse objetivo a pesquisa procedeu por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa e utilizou como procedimento o estudo de caso de uma escola pública de educação básica do sistema estadual de ensino do Estado de São Paulo/Diretoria de Ensino da Região do Ourinhos. Para a coleta das informações relevantes e das perspectivas dos sujeitos da pesquisa, foram utilizadas a observação do ambiente escolar, a pesquisa documental e a entrevista semiestruturada. Foram sujeitos da pesquisa membros dos segmentos escolares representados no Conselho de Escola (diretor, vice-diretor, dois coordenadores, seis professores, dois funcionários, quatro pais e quatro alunos). A análise dos dados coletados revelou aspectos significativos relacionados aos entraves na utilização das informações relevantes resultantes da avaliação institucional interna e externa, para a reflexão coletiva, contínua e efetiva e para a mobilização de ações coletivas no processo de elaboração, acompanhamento e reformulação do Projeto Educativo, do Plano Gestor e dos Planos Anuais escolares. A autoavaliação interna e externa da escola deve ser implementada de maneira mais coerente com a realidade e necessidade da escola e tornar-se uma ferramenta pedagógica e política a ser utilizada, com a participação da comunidade escolar, para a elaboração dos projetos e planos de trabalho pedagógico da escola e para a atualização e adaptação periódica deles aos novos contextos históricos da sociedade e da escola. Ficou evidente que a avaliação institucional deve tornar-se um instrumento a ser utilizado pela escola pública de educação básica para superação de suas limitações e dificuldades num processo que permite aperfeiçoar sua prática pedagógica, possibilitando assim o aprimoramento de sua gestão e, em consequência, melhorando a qualidade da educação básica.

This thesis deals with the issue of the project management, project portfolio management and environment settings for the management and portfolio analysis in a fictional organization. In the theoretical introduction there is outlined the situation of the education of the project portfolio management at universities in the Czech Republic, Europe and worldwide, in summary form of founded courses that deal with this issue. Some basic principles of PMI methodology follow to introduce the reader to the project and portfolio management. As a practical part of this thesis there has been project management solution software implemented as a support for the portfolio management education. Microsoft Project 2010 has been selected for this purpose. This part of the thesis guides reader through practical topics like how to set up the whole environment including all utilities and contains a description of services settings. As example there were also sample roles and resources of the company set up, which were subsequently assigned to fictional projects so that the business portfolio analysis based on set of business goals and prioritization of individual projects could have been performed. The contribution of this work can be found mainly in the possibility of portfolio management education and training by using one of the leading software tool that are successfully implemented in a real production environment, and to try out the various acts and practices and also to clarify the various processes in the context of specific projects within the portfolio. Prepared fictional organization and sample data can be especially used as a model for handling various assignments in the upcoming educational courses at VŠE.

Although there is a growing influence of psychology and human resources in modern management, this area is being often neglected in theory and particularly in praxis of project management. This area offers a big potential for improvement of performance of project teams and increase of teamwork efficiency. Therefore this thesis is focused on human factor in project management and the opportunity for using psychology, especially the theory of motivation and teamwork. There were set more main goals of thesis they can be split in two groups. In the first group there are research goals aimed on teamwork in project teams managed by agile or traditional methods, establishment of project teams, characteristics of projects suitable for agile approach and implementation of agile methods in a company. The proposal of solution of identified problem areas belongs to the second group of goals. According to the research results agile project teams are closer to psychological concept of team, whilst traditional project teams are closer to work groups. Therefore agile project teams have better potential for being more efficient and performing higher than the project teams managed by traditional methods. Another finding in this thesis is regarding setting up the project teams and their daily work. Although agile methods seem to be more efficient from the teamwork perspective, they don't offer general solution for all problems in project management and their usage is not necessary suitable for all kinds of projects and company environment. That's why the characteristics of appropriate projects for being managed by agile methods were also investigated. Successful implementation and application of agile methods is strongly influenced by company environment and other factors that were identified in theoretical part of the thesis and subsequently verified by the research. The thesis brings a lot of verified information regarding work in project teams and emphasizes the significance of management, motivation and development of project teams. For identified problem areas with significant potential for improvement were prepared two solution proposals included in final parts of the thesis. The first solution is a model for implementation of project methodology in a company; the second one is a model aimed on project team performance increase. Both proposed solutions offers specific tools and techniques ready for application in company environment.
