Implementation of a technological, information, and communication tool for project management in the network of Tecnoparque, Colombia

Abstract

In Colombia, the development of technology-based projects is being promoted and encouraged. In this sense, different institutions, both private and governmental, allocate a large amount of technical and financial resources to develop or contribute to the development of such initiatives. However, in entities such as the "Red de Tecnoparque Colombia del Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje", strategies that allow managing and evidencing the activities developed by each of the projects carried out in the network had not been implemented. Therefore, no information support allowed to measure or sustain the technological maturity of the projects gestated. Thus, in "Tecnoparque Nodo Medellín", a software platform was developed to register and manage the entire development path of technological projects. Also, the platform provides management indicators and a repository of evidence to use at the national level, allowing monetization of the activities of support in Investigation and development of the "Red Tecnoparque" in Colombia.
