Considering the context of the research and because it is a public institution, the bibliographic review was done on Public Administration, emphasizing the basic principles expressed in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the managerial model, as well as on the process management and on the lean production. The qualitative approach and the action research method were chosen, with the research being a cut-off of a larger Project that is being implemented in the said Coordination, whose purpose is to improve the processes of processing academic projects. For data collection, a process workshop and a focus group were used to identify the waste of the process in the client's perception, to build the flow and the participant observation during the process analysis meeting together with the work team. The analysis of the qualitative data occurred after the transcriptions of the audios of the focal group and the meeting of process analysis. It was done through categorical content, with the aid of NVivo® software. It is hoped that the results obtained will lead the actions of improvements in the processes of academic projects to comply with the principles of public administration, expressed in the Federal Constitution of 1988, as well as to assist in the development of other academic works.
