Propuesta de modelo ágil de gestión de proyectos basado en SCRUM para proyectos de monitoreo de gases en Servicio Mecatrónico de Colombia LTDA

Abstract

This work arises from the need identified at Servicio Mecatrónico de Colombia LTDA (SERMECOL) related to the lack of a formal methodology for managing technical projects, especially those related to gas monitoring in underground coal mines. Problem: The absence of a structured approach has led to difficulties in planning, low visibility of project status, communication problems among teams, and resource overallocation, affecting efficiency and the ability to adapt to changes. Objective: to design a methodological model based on SCRUM for gas monitoring projects at SERMECOL, through the analysis of its current project management practices and the integration of agile approaches, to provide a structured and adaptable tool that can guide future decisions in project management. Method: a descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out, supported by document review, semi-structured interviews, and a comparative analysis between the current project management practices and SCRUM principles, which allowed contextualization and adaptation to the technical and organizational environment of the company. Results: as a final product, a structured and documented methodological model was obtained, composed of proposed roles, artifacts, and events, specifically designed for the context of gas monitoring projects at SERMECOL, without committing to immediate implementation. Discussion: it is concluded that the proposed model can serve as a reference basis for future improvement processes and the adoption of agile approaches, providing flexibility, incremental visibility, and strengthening collaboration among technical areas, without imposing abrupt changes on the current structure.
