Resumen
Una metodología que muestra buenos resultados en la ejecución de los proyectos es la teoría de restricciones, por lo cual es interesante intentar incorporarla en los estándares del PMI®. Para lograr esto, se estudiaron las áreas de conocimiento de gestión del tiempo y gestión del costo presentadas por el estándar del PMI®. Posteriormente, se definió la forma como se les debe aplicar la teoría de restricciones en cuanto a la creación de los cronogramas y uso de amortiguadores al final de la cadena crítica y las rutas alimentadoras.
Abstract: Several standards and methodologies exist for the management and administration of projects; in Colombia and in general in the United States and Latin America the most used one is the dictated by the PMI®, however, in occasions with the improper use of the traditional project management methodologies the probability of the occurrence of problems related with the cost, the time or the scope of the project is very high, what makes necessary to develop a new methodology or define the changes that must be carried out on the currently used one, to improve the results of the projects and considerably decrease the probability of occurrence of problems.
A methodology that shows good results in the execution of the projects is the theory of constraints, for which it is interesting to try to incorporate it in the standards of the PMI®. To obtain this, the knowledge areas of time management and cost management presented by the PMI® standard were studied. Later, the way how has to be applied the theory of constraints regarding thecreation of timelines and use of buffers at the end of the critical chain and the fetching routes was defined.
