Abstract

There is a high percentage of engineering projects in the public sector that are evaluated based on criteria based on time, cost and scope management, which are classified as failures. The objective of this research is to provide the results obtained in the observation of techniques and tools for managing the schedule, in engineering projects developed in the department of Boyacá -Colombia, during the period 2008 to 2018.Based on these results, a methodology is proposed to study the feasibility of this type of project.This methodology seeks the timely detection of deviations to the key success factors during the project life cycle in order to guarantee the achievement of the proposed objectives.
