Project management (PM) efficient results in increased probability of success of activities and its completion as time, cost and scope planned. Since this triad (time, cost and scope) is connected, any changes will affect within the scope and increase the cost of the project. This was a case study in a large company exploiting oil and gas. The research is focused on time management (TM) in an oil project in order to examine the schedule of activities according to the time tool, the Gantt Chart in MS Project 2003 software. The study design was selected due to its long delay in implementation and lack of planning and managing this. By analyzing the Gantt Chart, activities were identified late. With this, the problems that caused delays were surveyed (the project documents) and their parents questioned. Thus, it was proposed improvements to an effective control of time on the problems encountered.
