Riesgos no identificados y costos no evaluados, su impacto en la gestión de proyectos

Abstract

This research will study how unidentified risks and unevaluated costs impact on economic and financial aspects of project management. In professional practice, the Project Manager, teams, contractors, and other stakeholders in a business face possible events that may become risks. For this reason, their task is to identify the events and set up contingency reserves. When in a project the variables are considered "unknown", the management reserve is created as part of the budget. One of the drawbacks is that throughout the development of the undertaking and in the face of a precarious identification of possible and probable facts to become risks with low probability, or not having been detected in a timely manner, when they occur suddenly they have a high impact on the implementation of a project. In daily practice, these issues are often not covered by insurance, and contracts do not correctly specify possible damages and their associated costs. Being able to correctly foresee events, and establish policies that mitigate impacts, leads to an adequate cost evaluation and correct risk management.
