Strategic guidelines to optimize the execution of projects in companies in the oil sector

Abstract

The objective of the research was to propose strategic guidelines to optimize the execution of projects in companies in the oil sector of the state of Falcón, considering the importance of managerial strategies in the context of project management, which involve the analysis of previous activities, as well as those carried out during the execution of projects, where the managers are the main responsible for enforcing each of the sub-processes in this crucial phase in the projects. It is based on the theoretical postulates of PMI (2017), Gido et al (2022), Miranda (2016), among others. For its part, the methodology used was quantitative, that is, empirical-analytical-rationalist, descriptive, with a non-experimental transectional field design. The population consisted of 15 subjects in the position of Project Manager. The data collection technique was the survey, using the Likert scale closed questionnaire as an instrument, subjected to a validity process by expert judgment, obtaining reliability by the Alpha-Cronbach Coefficient, which was r=0, 94, that is, very high reliability. The processing of the data was through distribution of relative frequencies, and use of the scale established for it. Based on the results obtained, it was evidenced that managers must strengthen strategies to identify project stakeholders, as well as the costs associated with the project, for which strategic guidelines were generated to guarantee project managers the optimal development of the execution of projects.
