Comparativa entre planificación tradicional y la planificación desarrollada haciendo uso de la guía del PMBOK, para la gestión de proyectos de construcción de obras civiles.

Abstract

The development of this research work allowed a comparison between the traditional project management and control methodology versus the methodology suggested by the PMBOK guide, which consists of developing the corresponding plan to manage the project using tools and parameters. Initials such as technical-economic feasibility and social impact analysis, determining the criteria for its use through the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each methodology, applicable to the urban regeneration project, which includes the comprehensive rehabilitation of Portete Street , south sidewalk, from 30th Street to 34th Street in the city of Guayaquil, the need for which is based on the fact that with the passage of time, it has suffered considerable deterioration in its urban infrastructure, highlighting the priority of developing the project to its Urban Regeneration, said project is developed by Fundación GUAYAQUIL SIGLO XXI, with the purpose of meeting its strategic objectives, and to fulfill this purpose, its execution was estimated with a budget of US$601,564.73, which includes contingency reserves and management within an established period of 260 days, emphasizing that the Urban Regeneration of this vital avenue will give way to continue with the architectural and infrastructure improvements, which leads to raising the quality of life of the inhabitants and will improve the influx tourism because precisely architectural improvements and landscaping related improvements will be implemented. The conceptual framework for this research work was developed by leveraging the best practices in project management outlined in the PMBOK guide. This strategic use of the guide allowed us to define the groups of processes to be implemented: Project initiation, Planning of activities, Execution of the project, Monitoring and Control of the activities developed, and Closing of the project. This robust framework ensures the thoroughness and effectiveness of the project management process. Throughout the project's development, the use of the analytical-synthetic method was particularly relevant and notable. This method, known for its ability to facilitate the decomposition of the project into specific sections or parts, was instrumental in the thorough analysis and integration of these parts, leading to the clear and organized structuring of the project to be executed. After obtaining the results, it was possible to carry out a detailed analysis of the use of the applied methodologies, which included the determination of the advantages and disadvantages of each one, managing to form a criterion that, according to the nature of each project, could contemplate even a fusion of the best qualities of each methodology, to achieve the most efficient optimization in terms of the use of resources, execution times, and quality of the projects, hoping that the result of this analysis will be a valid tool for project managers, useful as a guide when determining the methodology to apply in each project, based on its characteristics and particularities. The proposed project had the feasibility previously obtained by the contracting entity, whose primary justification was based on the need to revitalize the environment of said road artery due to the passage of time, modernizing its pedestrian spaces and renewing its road infrastructure, allowing its implementation, development and execution, which also showed the relevance in terms of the use of the PMBOK guide through which the process groups were managed efficiently, guaranteeing compliance with the established contractual parameters such as execution time, amount investment, quality levels, social impact, and others.
