Resumen

La gestión de proyectos para el éxito requiere una combinación de competencias, ya sean interpersonales, técnicas, cognitivas, y estas competencias pueden explicar las variaciones en el desempeño del proyecto. En este contexto, es un desafío determinar la importancia relativa de las competencias de los agentes de cambio para cada enfoque de gestión de proyectos. Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar la importancia relativa de diez competencias de los agentes de cambio en relación con los enfoques de gestión de proyectos. A través de un cuestionario en línea con agentes de cambio, seguido de un análisis multicriterio difuso Topsis, se identificó el grado de pertenencia de cada competencia a cada enfoque de gestión de proyectos. Identificamos que las competencias de gestión de equipos y gestión de proyectos son esenciales en la opinión de los encuestados cuando se utilizan enfoques predictivos, mientras que las competencias técnicas y de liderazgo son esenciales para los enfoques híbridos. Para el enfoque ágil, se consideraron esenciales las habilidades de comunicación, flexibilidad, habilidades sociales, habilidades para resolver problemas, confiabilidad y profesionalismo, manejo de conflictos y competencias técnicas.
