with the goal of proposing a methodological guide for professional management of public
projects at this department.

construction projects were revealed, by means of files reviewing, surveys and
questionnaires made to stakeholders (such as: Direction and Engineering of
Aqueduct, Supply, Direction of DSOT, Department of Works and Services, UTGVM
Department, and others).
Transversal: surveys revealed good practices for project management (according to
information subjects of: Santo Domingo’s Municipal Aqueduct, ESPH and Belen’s
Municipal Aqueduct).
Observational: files of twelve projects were studied, covering years 2014 and 2017.
Based on PMI’s project management framework, it was possible to analyze breach of
Aqueduct. By this mean, this methodological guide exploited many improvement’s
opportunities, such as: standardization of project management concepts, templates
development to simplify management (new tools), processes and techniques for getting an
assertive communication (directed to whole stakeholders), techniques and tools for schedule
management on lineal projects, risk management, so on.
Finally, it was established a strategical plan for implementing the methodological
guide, aligned by good practices of PMI for change management of municipality, starting
from its aqueduct. This continuous improvement in project management requires: support of
Mayoralty and Town Council; feedback from municipal stakeholders; visible impact over
