The research aimed to carry out a scientific mapping, in Scopus and Science Direct, about project management and educational perspectives for industry 4.0. For this was used the method Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We conduced a systematic literature review on the topics Industry 4.0, project management, skills and engineering education. From the results found, it is highlighted that the project management theme will be very important in view of the new industrial revolution being considered a professional, methodological and operational competence. Authors highlight the importance of the theme for the information technology (IT) sectors facing the transformations caused by the fourth industrial revolution. However, in the area of education, there is a paradigm regarding the project management discipline as it is neglected in engineering courses, not arousing student interest. To minimize this problem, a partnership between governments, universities and companies is mentioned. Another possible solution to reduce this educational gap is the creation of Learning Factories, which enable the union between theory and practice, arousing greater interest of students and assisting in the development of skills required by industry 4.0.
