sostenibilidad, gestión de proyectos, revisión sistemáticaResumen
La sostenibilidad ha pasado de ser una aspiración abstracta para convertirse en un imperativo estructural en sectores clave como la gestión de proyectos. Sin embargo, su comprensión integral se ve limitada por la diversidad temática y la expansión acelerada del conocimiento. Este estudio aborda dicha complejidad mediante una revisión sistemática de literatura científica internacional, con el fin de identificar tendencias, categorías y transformaciones impulsadas por la sostenibilidad en la gestión de proyectos. Se aplicó una metodología bibliométrica-narrativa, basada en el modelo PICO adaptado, con búsqueda en Scopus, depuración mediante PRISMA y análisis en RStudio con Biblioshiny. El estudio de 765 documentos permitió segmentar la evolución temática en tres etapas comprendidas entre el año 2000 y marzo de 2025, que evidenciaron la consolidación de la sostenibilidad como eje central, con transformaciones asociadas a tecnologías como BIM, economía circular y su integración con la gobernanza y la digitalización. Se concluye que la sostenibilidad ha dejado de ser un enfoque periférico para constituirse en una dimensión estructurante de la gestión de proyectos, abriendo nuevas rutas de investigación y acción.
