A Systematic Review on the Integration of Project Management with Organizational Flows

Software projects are very dynamic and require recurring adjustments of their project plans. These settings can be understood as reconfigurations in the schedule, in the resources allocation and other design elements. Yet, during the planning and execution of a software project, the integration of specific activities in the projects with the activities that take part in the organization’s common activity flow should be considered. This article presents the results from a systematic review of aspects related to software projects’ dynamic reconfiguration emphasizing the integration of project management with the organizational flows. A series of studies was analyzed from the year 2000 to the present. The results of this work show that there is a diversity of techniques and strategies for dynamic reconfiguration of software projects’. However, few approaches consider the integration of software project activities with the activities that take part in the organization’s common workflow.
