Gestão de Riscos em Projetos Públicos sob restrição Orçamentária: Caso SVPEM 2

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of risk management in public projects under budget constraints, focusing on the Brazilian Navy Veterans and Pensioners System (SVPEM 2). The objective is to understand the impacts of cuts in the scope, time and cost of the project, and the strategies adopted to ensure its continuity. The research is qualitative, based on document analysis and interviews with professionals involved. The results indicate that, even withfinancial limitations, measures such as prioritization of deliveries, scope review and rescheduling mitigated risks and kept the project active. The integration between planning and control was essential to face the challenges. Adaptive management preserved critical system functionalities. The study contributes to the debate on public projects in adverse environments, especially in military institutions, by showing how structured risk management practices enable the continuity of strategic initiatives. The findings offer useful lessons for public managers in scenarios of fiscal constraints.
