dc.description	Engineering project management plays a crucial role in the electricity sector, being essential for the modernization and expansion of the energy infrastructure. This article addresses the need to characterize the risk factors that affect the management and execution of electrical substation projects in the national and international context. The objective of this research was to identify risk factors and measurable indicators to mitigate the problems inherent in electrical substation projects. The methodology employed consisted of the identification of risk factors through the expert judgment tool, followed by the selection of indicators to control and monitor these risks in the design and assembly stages. In addition, useful tools for project management were evaluated, highlighting Trello and the Tracking Dashboard. The research highlighted the implementation of these tools through a pilot project that demonstrated significant improvements in organization, supervision, and execution times. However, areas for improvement, unconsidered risk factors, and shortcomings in staff training were identified. The results obtained highlighted the importance of the team's experience and training in this type of projects, as well as the need to implement project management tools that allow monitoring delivery times accurately. These results support the inclusion of agile methodologies in projects with defined scopes. Finally, it is concluded that there are risk factors that can be mitigated by including aspects of agile methodologies and specific indicators, such as execution time, number of revisions, and assembly time, as the most notable within projects with defined scopes, especially in stages such as design and assembly.	en-US
dc.description	La gestión de proyectos de ingeniería desempeña un papel crucial en el sector eléctrico, siendo esencial para la modernización y expansión de la infraestructura energética. Este artículo aborda la necesidad de caracterizar los factores de riesgo que inciden en la gestión y ejecución de proyectos de subestaciones eléctricas, en el contexto nacional e internacional. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar factores de riesgo e identificar indicadores medibles que permiten mitigar los problemas inherentes a proyectos de subestaciones eléctricas. La metodología empleada consistió en la identificación de factores de riesgo mediante la herramienta de juicio de expertos, seguida de la selección de indicadores para controlar y monitorear dichos riesgos en las etapas de diseño y ensamble. Además, se evaluaron herramientas útiles para la gestión de proyectos, destacando Trello y el Dashboard de seguimiento. La investigación destacó la implementación de estas herramientas mediante un proyecto piloto demostrando mejoras significativas en la organización, supervisión y tiempos de ejecución. Sin embargo, se identificaron áreas de mejora, factores de riesgo no contemplados y falencias en la capacitación del personal. Los resultados obtenidos resaltaron la importancia de la experiencia y la capacitación del equipo en este tipo de proyectos, además, de la necesidad de implementar herramientas de gestión de proyectos que permitan realizar un monitoreo de los tiempos de entrega de manera precisa. Estos resultados respaldan la inclusión de metodologías ágiles en proyectos con alcances definidos, lo que contribuye a optimizar los procesos y mitigar los riesgos asociados Finalmente, se concluye que hay factores de riesgo que pueden ser mitigados al incluir aspectos de metodologías agiles e indicadores específicos, como el tiempo de ejecución, cantidad de revisiones, y tiempo de ensamble, como los más notables dentro de proyectos con alcances ya definidos, especialmente en etapas como la de diseño y ensamble.	es-ES
