Management of Distance Education demands competences at planning, systematization, organization, and controlling of processes and projects. These tasks cannot be carried out successfully without information management system that meets the requirements of integration, collective responsibility and participation. Therefore, this study aimed at implementing an information management system at the Coordination of Open and Distance Education of Federal University of Viçosa (CEAD-UFV), following the methodology of Project Management. For this purpose, it was developed and implemented an information management system based on the methodology of project management for information, technology and communication companies, by adapting the dotProjec -, an open source software. It was noted that the model implanted offered to CEAD-UFV a systemic view of their projects and a dynamic information flow. The experience also showed that an information management based on project management allows focusing on the synergy between groups required in distance education context.
