Tese (Doutorado em Engenharia de Produção) – Programa de Pós-graduação em Engenharia de Produção, UFSC, 2003. Information system implementation is a project to improve organizational performance. This investigation aimed to develop an experiential learning methodology to develop information systems implementation project management competencies. Investigation steps were bibliography review, methodology specification, methodology application and methodology evaluation. Learning methodology was conceived as an experiential learning process. Application methodology ocurred in Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina – Joinville and Universidade da Região de Joinville. The application period was february to june 2003. Participants was Computer Science and Information Systems undergraduated students. Participants was divided in groups that performed information systems implementation simulated activities. At end of application, groups builded competency models that identified attitudes, knowledges and skills to manage information systems implementation. After this, participants answered an experiential methodology evaluation questionnaire. Competency models evaluation indicated their consistency with competency models found in the bibliography review. Questionnaire answers analysis indicated a positive methodology evaluation. Besides, the participants indicated strong points, weak points and suggestions to improve the learning methodology. Thus, the results confirmed the methodology validity to develop information systems project management competencies.
