This research has applied the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Evaluation Techniques and Program Review (PERT) in the administration of the project: "Development of technical and human capacities for the implementation of the regional development plan with identity in the Mines", executed in Siuna, during the year 2012, by the URACCAN. In the administration of the project study, we used a retrospective and quantitative approach, framed in the administrative techniques of the CPM and PERT project through WinQSB program.
According to the results, the entire project can be completed in 51.3 months, equivalent to 4 years and 3 months, with 12 critical activities, which means that a delay in any of these activities can cause a delay in the entire project. The total cost of the activities of this project is 617,863.00 euros, and the total cost of the critical path is 231,585.00 euros. The project incurs into other costs, such as labor, transportation, consultation services, evaluation, among others, that are also part of the total project budget of 1,040,251.00 euros.
The project took longer to complete each of the activities, since in the initial planning it was scheduled to be finished in 3 years, which was not fulfilled because they had to request an extension of three months for full conclusion. The advantage in implementing the Critical Path Method is that it gave the perspective to have the project information organized and ready for any review; one of the main disadvantages is that all activities had to be organized regarding their immediate predecessors and to have knowledge of the method as well as the WinQSB program in order to avoid adverse outcomes.
