The present study aims to identify the factors that influence the perception of maturity over strategic projects management. A cross-sectional exploratory case study was carried out with a sample of 142 managers and members of strategic projects teams from the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (IFES). The data were collected through semi structured questionnaires, complemented with factual and documentary analysis. Data was treated quantitative and qualitatively. The results showed that the variables that influence the perception of maturity in project management at the Institute were time management, costs, communications, stakeholders and acquisitions, as well as the degree of the managers´ professional education and the organizational structure with a full-time project manager supported by senior management. The results, although they cannot be generalized, point out ways to guide policies and incentives to increase the performance of strategic projects in public education institutions.
