The last decades were characterized by fast transformations, followed by an increase without precedents of the industrial competition. The technological changes presented notable advances in the availability of information and in the speed of the communication. Organizations were forced to adapt to these changes under the risk to lose front to its competitors. One of the vectors of this current progress is the administration for projects. In the organizations that are dedicated to innovation, the administration for projects tends to be the main way of organization of the work. The practical experience and the administrative knowledge are factors that allow to assure that the project manager consists in one of the main determinative for the success of the projects and, therefore, of the organization. This work analyzed the factors that intervene with the management of project, of the point of view of the professionals of the area. For that, half-structuralized interviews with 23 project managers, from different formations, in 15 companies of different branches of activity, had been carried through. The collected data had been transcribed and analyzed by means of the content analysis. The abilities identified in the research, as necessary for the performance of this activity, had been compared to the described abilities in the models of: Shtub, Bard & Globerson (1994) e Kerzner (1998). It can be noticed, through this research, the proximity between the theory and the reality of these professionals, standing out factors related to the personal abilities and the structural characteristics of the organization where the project develops.
