Shedko Yuri Nikolaevich

The paper substantiates that effective project management can be turned into a competitive advantage, which is achieved when they are aligned with the organizational strategy. The organizational capabilities of an economic entity, which must be taken into account in the strategic planning of a project to ensure a sustainable competitive advantage, have been determined. It is shown that the strategic project management approach provides a mechanism for defining and measuring different levels of project management by integrating nine areas of project management knowledge with five project stages within a consolidated framework based on maturity models. The reasons for resistance to the implementation of project management are highlighted. The stages of strategic planning of project management are detailed.
