This helps to reconsider how to succeed with the information and innovation. Information Technology (IT) is increasingly being implemented for strategic reasons, so as to enable improved efficiency and to improve the control and productivity of internal processes. In this perspective, this study aims to identify which management practices projects described in the literature, can be considered as best practices in managing IT projects in the Brazilian context. The literature review enabled the identification of management practices for IT projects and the survey with professional judgment matrix applied to the Brazilian context allowed us to identify, among these, the best practices in the light of the Brazilian experience.
