EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)
The construction of tourist centers in Costa Rica is very common, since a largepercentage of the country's income is due to tourism. In this case, the visitor center of the Organization for Tropical Studies will have several functions once it is built as planned, located in Flaminia neighbourhood, Horquetas de Sarapiquí, in OTS's
La Selva Property, 100 meters on the ballast road from the main entrance. It isimportant for there to be an area where you can hold different types of meetingsand have an exhibition of the different plants that are studied in the area.
The need to improve the facilities was made more than four years ago when apublic tender was held to allow several national companies to participate in the planning, design, and construction of the new facilities of the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS). The resources to finance the project come from other organizations around the world that are interested in a place in Central America
where tropical plants can be studied and which infrastructure is adequate to beable to use them. The public tender consisted of finding companies that have experience in the processing of construction permits and the design of architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical plans. In addition, they request construction experience, where a work schedule is carried out due to detailed budgets and documentation to be able to control the construction, that there are no delays and, above all, that they remain within the amounts established by the OTS.
The final graduation project general objective is the creation of a project management plan for the construction of the new reception building of the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) in Costa Rica. The specific objectives are the following. Objective 1 is to create a project charter to formally authorize the project and provide the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to the project and to produce the project management plan.
Objective 2 is to develop a scope management plan to ensure that it includes all the work required to successfully complete the project.
Objective 3 is to create a time management plan to ensure that it includes all the work required to successfully complete the project within the time constraints.
Objective 4 is to create a cost management plan to define the processes for developing and managing the project budget to ensure the project is completed within the budget constraints.
Objective 5 is to develop a quality management plan to identify the quality requirements for the project in order to ensure results meet the expectations for approval within the time, cost, and scope constraints.
Objective 6 was to create a human resource management plan to ensure that the human resources are identified and managed effectively to complete the project within time, cost, and scope constraints.
Objective 7 is to develop a communication management plan to ensure the timelyand effective communication of the project status and other key information.
Objective 8 is to create a risk management plan to identify and examine risks to the successful completion of the project and develop plans to minimize the likelihood of the risks.
Objective 9 is to develop a procurement management plan to be used toobtain products, services, or results required by the project.
Objective 10 is to develop a stakeholder management plan to identify and support all the project stakeholders to ensure effective stakeholder engagement.
The methodology used for the research was analytical or explanatory. The mainsources used to select the information were the Sixth Edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), visits to the project site, and interviews with the professionals in charge of carrying out the project as well as with members of the Organization for Tropical Studies.
The information was analyzed to create each subcomponent of the subsidiary plans used to develop the project management plan for a visitor center.
The project management plan, developed using the 6th Edition of the PMBOK® Guide, provided a new methodology for the project team to develop a project
management plan for a development as important as the visitor center to progress the way the company would manage the project. It is recommended that the project team considers the use of the planning process and the documents developed during the creation of the project management plan for the construction of the visitor center, as the basis for implementing a methodology for similar projects in the future.
