Desarrollo de un prototipo de aplicación móvil para el seguimiento y programación de actividades en obra mediante el uso de la metodología de valor ganado

Abstract

In the dynamic world of construction project management, evaluating performance and progress is essential to ensure success and efficiency in the execution of any project. One of the concepts widely recognized and used for this evaluation is the Earned Value Management (EVM), a technique that incorporates scope, time and cost to measure the status of a project in terms of value delivered. Until recently, calculating Earned Value required the use of complex and often expensive software, which limited its accessibility for many professionals and project teams. However, with the rise of mobile technology, a new frontier in project management has opened, offering the possibility of accessing powerful instruments in the palm of our hand. In this sense, the need arises to develop a mobile application that allows project managers to quickly and accurately calculate the management indicators established by the Earned Value technique for their projects. This degree project emphasizes the conceptualization, design, development and execution of said application, with the objective of providing a practical and effective tool that facilitates informed decision making and improves the control of projects in real time. Throughout this work, the theoretical foundations of Earned Value, its importance in project management and the key characteristics that must be considered to prepare a sketch of a mobile application for its calculation will be addressed. In addition, the application development process will be presented, from the definition of requirements to implementation and testing in real environments. Therefore, it is expected that this work will contribute to the advancement of the field of project management by offering an innovative and accessible tool that allows professionals to make informed and efficient decisions in the pursuit of the success of their projects.
