Propuesta para el diseño de una Oficina de Gestión de Proyectos (PMO) en la Alcaldía Municipal de Ciénaga (Magdalena), bajo los lineamientos del PMBOK sexta edición

Abstract

The following thesis was carried out to address the problem identified in the Municipal Government of Ciénaga (Magdalena), where deficiencies were evident in different areas of project management, such as stakeholder management, schedule management, and cost management. In this regard, the general objective was established "To formulate a proposal for the design of a Project Management Office (PMO) in the Municipal Government of Ciénaga (Magdalena), under the guidelines of the PMBOK, sixth edition, which leads to the standardization and improvement of project direction and management." As a method, a project management diagnosis was conducted in the entity through the application of the OPM3® model, interviews, and a document review. This resulted in the following results: the level of organizational maturity in project management, the needs and expectations of stakeholders, the design of a PMO model, and a roadmap for its implementation. This allowed the discussion to show that the development of this project, complemented by the subsequent implementation of the PMO in the Municipal Government of Ciénaga (Magdalena), can serve as a reference guide for improving the organizational management of projects in fifth and sixth category municipalities in Colombia.
