Project life-cycle management in small community organizations: a methodological proposal.

Abstract

In this research work, a methodology for project life cycle management is proposed, which has been adapted to the problems of small producers in the panelero sector of Villeta - Cundinamarca in Colombia. To achieve the purpose of the research, a qualitative approach was applied, with a combination of two modalities: documentary analysis for Phase I and action research for Phase II.
As a result of the research process, the methodological structure is presented, as well as the implementation strategy in the context under study, and the need to develop capacities for adequate project management.

The main findings consider that using project methodologies that are developed with the participation of producers from the beginning and throughout the life cycle of the projects will influence results adjusted to their needs and expectations.
