In order to protect the environment and guarantee energy security, projects aimed at the energy transition (ET) are increasingly important worldwide. In this framework, three fundamental aspects for team management have been addressed, namely: critical success factors (CSF), barriers and challenges. However, the literature recognizes the need to broaden the empirical base, and as far as is known, in Colombia there is no evidence in this regard. Therefore, this work establishes in an exploratory way, from the perspective of experts in the Colombian mining-energy sector, how to manage these three aspects in ET projects. Among the results, the following stand out: first, the leadership and support of senior management as CSF; secondly, the need for sectoral policies to mitigate the staff turnover barrier; and third, the challenge of establishing strategic alliances with the education sector and leading organizations in conventional energy.

Los proyectos de transición energética (TE) son cada vez más importantes a nivel mundial, como una estrategia primordial para proteger el ambiente y garantizar la seguridad energética. A pesar que, los factores críticos de éxito (CSF) en la gestión efectiva de equipos de proyecto se identifican como un aspecto fundamental para alcanzar sus objetivos, la literatura reporta la necesidad de ampliar la base empírica, y hasta donde se conoce, en Colombia no hay evidencias al respecto. Por lo anterior, este trabajo establece de manera exploratoria, desde la perspectiva de expertos del sector minero-energético colombiano, cómo gestionar CSF, barreras y retos en los equipos de proyectos de TE. Los resultados destacan al liderazgo y apoyo de la alta dirección como CSF; la falta de políticas sectoriales para mitigar la barrera de rotación de personal; y el reto de establecer alianzas estratégicas con el sector educativo y organizaciones líderes en energía convencional.
