dc.description.abstract Complex transportation projects are challenged daily by uncertainties and external factors that are typically not considered by the traditional project management approach. In 2013, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in collaboration with the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) launched the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) Implementation Assistance Program (IAP). This project is focused on the SHRP2 product known as Renewal 10 (R10), “Project Management Strategies for Complex Project Management”, and the projects selected as part of the IAP. The R10 product includes a five-dimensional project management model (5DPM) that adds context and finance to the traditional three dimensions (cost, schedule and technical) and provides methods and tools for project management teams. As part of the IAP, a group of selected transportation agencies and their respective management teams participated in demonstration workshops created to assess their projects by defining the complexity within each of the five dimensions and developing strategies to manage them effectively. This project presents and compares the complexity results of seventeen complex transportation projects. In addition, these complexity results were compared to those included in case studies from eighteen projects evaluated during the original research phase of the R10 product development. For this project, seventeen executive summaries were developed for each of the projects assessed and two projects were selected to develop case studies for educational purposes. Finally, this project provides an insight to the five-dimensional project management model (5DPM) and its implementation to complex transportation projects. en_US
dc.description.abstract Los proyectos de transportación complejos se enfrentan a diario a incertidumbres y factores externos que generalmente no son considerados por el enfoque tradicional de gerencia de proyectos. En el 2013, la Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) en colaboración con la American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) y el Transportation Research Board (TRB) lanzaron el Implementation Assistance Program (IAP) como parte del Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2). Este proyecto se enfoca en el producto del SHRP2 conocido como Renewal 10 (R10), "Estrategias de Gerencia de Proyectos para el Manejo de Proyectos Complejos", y los proyectos seleccionados como parte del IAP. El producto R10 incluye un modelo de gerencia de proyectos de cinco dimensiones (5DPM) que agrega contexto y financiamiento a las tres dimensiones tradicionales (costo, itinerario y diseño) y provee métodos y herramientas para los equipos de gerencia de proyectos. Como parte del IAP, un grupo seleccionado de agencias de transportación y sus respectivos equipos de gerencia, participaron en talleres de demostración creados para evaluar sus proyectos y así poder definir la complejidad para de cada una de las cinco dimensiones y desarrollar estrategias para manejarlos de manera efectiva. Este proyecto presenta y compara los resultados de complejidad de diecisiete proyectos de transportación complejos. Además, estos resultados de complejidad se compararon con los incluidos en casos de estudio de dieciocho proyectos evaluados durante la fase de investigación original para el desarrollo del producto R10. En adición, en este proyecto se desarrollaron resúmenes ejecutivos para cada uno de los proyectos evaluados, diecisiete en total, y se seleccionaron dos proyectos para desarrollar casos de estudios con fines educativos. Finalmente, este proyecto provee una visión del modelo de gerencia de proyectos de cinco dimensiones (5DPM) y su implementación en proyectos de transportación complejos. en_US
