This article aims to investigate how procedural management can impact the effectiveness of judicial units, in order to increase the speed of the process and the quality of jurisdictional provision, as well as establish metrics for measuring performance. To achieve its scope, the investigation is developed from a critical-methodological and legal-comparative line, seeking to analyze the procedural management from the perspective of comparative law. To assess the impact of procedural management on the Judiciary, the case study methodology will be used, analyzing the context of the judicial unit that ranked 1st in the national ranking of performance, measured by the National Council of Justice. In the end, it
is concluded that the procedural management produces great impacts on judicial performance, with increased productivity, reduction of the congestion rate, reduction of the number of processes, in addition to improving the quality of judgments, which is why it is proposed that the judicial units create and implement a strategic process management model that respects the guarantees of the parties and contributes to a more effective judiciary.
