The study used the steps of situational strategic planning, namely, identification and selection of problems, problem description, explanation of the problem and definition of the intervention, creation of the implementation plan, and monitoring the plan's execution. In presenting the results, the main stages of the project were identified, described in five time frames, containing the main observations and records obtained from this course.
