Propuesta de diseño de una oficina de gestión de proyectos (PMO) para la Empresa de Obras Sanitarias de Santa Rosa de Cabal EMPOCABAL E.S.P.- E.I.C.E.

The purpose of this project is to design a Project Management Office (PMO) for the Empresa de Obras Sanitarias de Santa Rosa de Cabal, EMPOCABAL E.S.P. - E.I.C.E., in order to strengthen the management of the projects executed by the company and optimize the use of available resources. The identified problem focuses on the lack of coordination and standardization in the processes of project planning, execution, and control, which has led to various difficulties, including delays in project execution, significant cost overruns, and inefficient use of organizational resources. In 2023, the company carried out a total of 21 projects, which represented a considerable investment. However, the absence of a structured approach to project management has hindered the efficient achievement of EMPOCABAL’s strategic objectives. The lack of standardized procedures and the dispersion of responsibilities have resulted in issues such as duplication of effort, inadequate monitoring, weaknesses in risk management, and limitations in informed decision-making. These deficiencies have affected project deadlines and the quality of results, highlighting the need to improve project management within the company. The central objective of this study is to design an organizational structure that allows for the centralization of project management within EMPOCABAL, ensuring greater efficiency in resource administration, a more effective alignment with corporate strategy, and rigorous control of ongoing projects. To achieve this goal, the Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3), developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), is proposed as the methodological framework for assessing the current level of project management maturity within the company. Based on this assessment, specific areas for improvement will be identified, and strategic actions will be defined to strengthen the company’s project management capabilities. The design of the PMO will enable the establishment of standardized procedures and best practices in project management, ensuring that the organization’s efforts are managed consistently and in alignment with corporate objectives. The implementation of a specialized project management office will contribute to improving efficiency in project planning, monitoring, and execution, facilitating a better allocation of resources and ensuring effective oversight of each initiative.
