Abstract

Project planning is a problem usually discussed in the different project management standards as an essential problem to be addressed from the project initiation stage. It is a problem that has traditionally been treated by formal methodologies. But current trends in project development have a greater focus on agile methodologies. This situation causes greater variability in project plans. In the particular case of BIM methodologies, the approach is aimed at achieving the simulation of the production process through virtual construction. In this context, in this work, a critical analysis of different approaches that deal with the construction of project schedules is carried out. In particular, the problem is analyzed from a hybrid perspective. The approach proposed by project management standards and the approach to scheduling problems raised by computer science are analyzed. As a result of the analysis, a group of lines open to research are proposed that combine traditional tendencies with metaheuristics.
