Planificar las comunicaciones, manejarlas y monitorearlas son los pasos recomendados para la gestión de las comunicaciones en la gestión de proyectos. Por ello Malluk [1], Odine [2] y Muszinska [3], entre otros, resaltan la necesidad de entender la gestión de proyectos y la comunicación organizacional desde una perspectiva holística para que los proyectos tengan un manejo orgánico y sean exitosos. A partir de esto, desde el 2020 se está trabajando en la Universidad Ean en una investigación que busca demostrar la importancia del rol de la comunicación en la gestión de proyectos, que garantice una integración holística y orgánica. Como resultado de esta investigación, en este artículo se presentará un modelo de comunicaciones para la gestión de proyectos en donde se ve la comunicación como constitutiva de los proyectos en lugar de ser un simple instrumento.

Planning, managing, and monitoring communications are the recommended steps for communication in Projects. For this reason, Malluk [1], Odine [2] and Muszinska [3], among others, highlight the necessity of understanding project management and organizational communication from a holistic perspective with the purpose of allowing projects to have an organic management and be successful. Due to this fact, since 2020 researches have been working at Universidad Ean in a research project to demonstrate the importance of the role of communications in project management, that guarantees a holistic and organic integration. As a result of this investigation, this paper presents a communication model for communication management in projects, where communication will be seen as part constitutive of projects instead of a simple instrument.
