Desenvolvimento de um sistema informático para apoio a gestão de actividades do calendário académico- caso de estudo Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (FEUEM)

Abstract

In all over the world and Mozambique as well, the importance and the degree of adoption of support systems for the management of activities have progressively increased in recent years. Although there are already some studies concerning the technological and computational aspects of these systems, studies on their implementation as tools for managing academic calendar activities at the level of Universities, Faculties and Schools are still rare. At the national level, it is observed that most organizations are unaware of the real importance and gain that these systems add. This report is a study on the management of academic calendar activities, which resulted from the identification of the reasons that lead to the slowness of the processes in the Universities, when managing the activities of the academic calendar. Having identified the reasons, it is discussed throughout the work, strategies of employee engagement in organizations, as a way of bringing more flexibility and adding value to the services that the organization offers. With these discussions or strategies, an application is proposed as a solution that aims to keep the collaborative environment more engaged and closer to achieving its objectives as a working group, with the general objective being to develop a computer system to support the management of activities of the academic calendar of FEUEM. It is important to mention that the materialization of this research and subsequent design of the solution is scientifically based on the principles of BPM (Business Process Management) and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), which gives it standards approved and used internationally in the processing of business rules and technical implementation of support systems for the management of activities.
