Modelo para la implementación de Oficinas de Gestión de Proyectos en Alcaldías de Municipios Colombianos de Sexta Categoría, basado en la Guía del PMBOK Sexta Edición

Abstract

The municipalities of sixth category in Colombia, currently 956 according to the General Accounting Office of the Nation, face structural limitations in their public management capacity, which affects the formulation, execution, and monitoring of investment projects. These deficiencies negatively impact the effectiveness of public spending and the quality of life in their territories. This research is applied in nature, with a propositional approach and a documentary design. It is based on the standards of the Project Management Institute (PMI) for project, program, and portfolio management (PMBOK Sixth Edition), as well as on the Value Ring model, which provides methodological rigor and practical applicability. The proposed model includes a defined organizational structure, roles, functions, key processes, and a progressive roadmap. Additionally, it incorporates tools such as the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Earned Value Analysis, and process mapping, aligned with the institutional value chain. The model is articulated with the official systems of the public investment cycle, including the Adjusted General Methodology (MGA), the National Investment Project Bank (BPIN), the Territorial SUIFP, the Integrated Financial Information System (SIIF), the Public Procurement Electronic System (SECOP), the GESPROY-SGR platform, and the Integrated Platform for Public Investments (PIIP). Consequently, a contextualized, functional, and sustainable model is proposed, designed for municipalities with low operational capacity. The proposal is based on documentary analysis and does not contemplate fieldwork, without this limiting its institutional applicability or its potential to strengthen public management at the territorial level.
