It started with the analysis of the current situation of the municipality in relation to the project management. For that, an interest group mapping was carried out. Once they were identified, an instrument was applied which helped to identify the needs in terms of procedures, techniques and performance of the involved members. Each of the units that were analyzed showed the limitations a lack of knowledge that exists relating the project topic. Besides, they showed that it is a main activity done by the municipality. The proposal of the strategic project management model includes standardization formats about the dealing of each project, the work template designs which targets to foster a higher efficiency in daily tasks. The Municipality´s Canvas Business Model incorporates is incorporated as a way to have better clarity about what the institution makes allowing the municipal project management to become a functional activity for Turrialba county´s development.
