Abstract
In a competitive world, companies lose customers and opportunities due to lack of organisation, failure to meet deadlines, bad planning, among other reasons. Project management is presented as a form to guarantee compliance with deadlines, costs reduction, sales increase, revenues growth, clients’ satisfaction, among other benefits. This paper presents the development of interfaces for managing and monitoring projects at Bosch Car Multimedia in Braga, Portugal. With the increasing number of projects under the supervision of CM/MFT3, the section had greater difficulties in monitoring projects’ status. In order to tackle the situation, tools for project status control and project status overview (cockpit chart) were proposed, so that the project management practices could be improved.
