AB  - Olympic Summer Games is a well-known megaproject, which fascinates many
people in the world, not only because of the sports, but as well as, for the management
practices applied on its organization. Rio2016 is the first edition of The Olympics in South
America and based on that the eyes of the world are on the project, especially to
understand the readiness status of the city to host this multi-sport mega event and the
planning processes and techniques, which have been applied on it. In the Organizing
Committee of Olympic Games (OCOG) technology represents one of the most important
pieces of this puzzle. Nowadays is almost impossible to have an event of this magnitude
without technology support, and for this reason technology area has one of the highest
budgets of the OCOG. Technology does not have, in general, a high rate of success in
project management, but in this kind of project, there is not a second chance. It is
mandatory to have a simple, trustworthy, and transparent project management practice
implemented in the entire IT department able to provide quickly the required information to
the executives to make decisions. This study intends to address the topic first doing a
broad and deep literature review to gather the theory and methodological tools to support
the researcher to evaluate the research findings. A case study in Rio2016 project was
conducted to understand what kind of project management practices IT department has
been applying and what the proportion of knowledge used from previous games is.
Researcher could observed that Rio2016 IT department has been applying known project
management practices based on PMI standard called PMBOK and in specific Olympics
Games products, which means that a mix of project management artefacts have been
supporting OCOG needs. Olympics do not have space neither a chance of failure that puts a
high pressure on IT teams to manage their projects to achieve the goals agreed with IOC,
partners, providers, and clients.
