Experiência na implementação de um modelo de gestão de PD&I em um grupo de empresas paraenses com o uso de ferramentas digitais e práticas ágeis

Abstract

This dissertation explores the implementation of a Innovation management model in a group of companies of the Pará state in Brazil, using digital tools and agile practices. The objective of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of these approaches in improving innovation processes, an essential factor for the economic growth and competitiveness of organizations. The study focused on the application of a methodology compatible with the Brazilian RD&I Management Model (MGPDI, in Portuguese) in three companies selected through a open competition ruled by a Science and Technology Park. The methodology for this research included a systematic literature review, case study, interviews with investors and project leaders, as well as a qualitative analysis of the data collected. The results reveal that the adoption of digital tools such as Trello, Jira, Ocomon and Taiga, combined with agile practices, provides benefits such as greater adaptability, better collaboration, greater transparency and reduced operational costs. However, it should be noted that the implementation of this management model brings challenges, such as organizational resistance to change and the need for continuous training of teams. Therefore, it must be assumed that the integration of digital tools and agile practices in RD&I management can considerably improve companies' innovation capacity, fostering an organizational culture of adaptability and resilience. Thus, the recommendations generated by this research made it possible to prepare an executive summary, describing how the implementation of the MGPDI contributes to sustainability and competitiveness in the business context of the Pará state.
