In recent years, the phenomenon referred to as projectification has escalated. Projects have increasingly started to displace certain types of operations in businesses across the globe. In essence, it means that project work has intensified due to an increase in the freelance and independent work economy. This represents a reflection of changing times and changing organizations. This article aims to present a general overview of the evolution of projects and the future trends in using this particular way of working. The methodology is a literature review that helps identify critical events and key agents in the process.

En años recientes el fenómeno referido a la proyectificación se ha incrementado. Los proyectos han comenzado a desplazar ciertos tipos de operaciones en empresas alrededor del mundo. Esencialmente esto significa que el trabajo por proyecto se ha intensificado debido a un incremento en las economías del trabajo independiente y de freelance, esto representa un reflejo de tiempos cambiantes y de organizaciones que cambian también. Este artículo tiene por objetivo presentar una perspectiva general de la evolución de los proyectos y las tendencias futuras al utilizar esta metodología en el mundo del trabajo. La metodología es la revisión de la literatura que permitirá identificar eventos críticos y agentes clave en el proceso.
