Abstract This article is intended to provide some personal notes of its author, the proposal a couple of methodologies for project management, some projects´ suggestions and several guidelines which allow us to develop a project in a strategic, geographical, historical and financial way. There are some elements to be considered: to use the Territorial Development Plan of your region, department or country as a guideline to develop a project; to identify and use the analysis of production chains for different products, that the National Planning Department offers; the use of the 3527 official document of the National Council of Economic and Social Policy (CONPES), National Planning Department; and to identify the opportunities that the Free Trade Agreements (FTA) have for Colombia. The aspects that should be taken into account are: to be aligned with the legislation to guarantee a sane relationship among public affairs, professional exercise and particular interests; the ethics of a leader, sponsor or anyone directly involved in a project, to set up a plan, to broaden and delimit the project goals and the plan itself; for this purpose it is important to use an official document of SENA focused on defining the taxonomy of verbs. The suggested methodologies to explore, formulate and execute projects are PMI (Project Management Institute) and Logical Framework. It is indispensable to be careful when making the financial analysis, the regulations and risk management. The themes for developing projects are: Social Responsibility, the Strategic Thought to make a well- structured analysis of the strategic sector, the Restrictions Theory, Knowledge Management, Information Management, the need for personal development, Leadership, the Balanced Scorecard, Informatics Safety, Business Continuity Plan, Contingency and Integrated Management Systems.
