Modern Trends in Project Management – Selected Issues – Case Study

Today’s enterprises operate in a global market characterized by the following conditions: volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. These conditions require the implementation of adequate management methods, ensuring sustainable foundations for business activity in the long term. In enterprises, currently about 30% of activities are carried out in the form of projects. The article presents an innovative approach to project management, which evolves from the traditional approach to a new sustainable approach. In particular, the stage of initiating a new project, in which it is required to perform a project impact analysis under the P5 Standard, was discussed. Based on the conclusions of this analysis, it is possible to plan the steps that will be taken by the project team in order not only to reduce the negative impact of the project on sustainability, but also to increase the benefits of the project. The article presents Projects integrating Sustainable Methods (PRiSM), which means a comprehensive methodology for managing sustainable projects. PRiSM goes beyond the typical project lifecycle model to maximize value by focusing on the entire asset lifecycle. This five-step approach includes pre-project planning, product/service adoption and integration, and benefit realization. The publication contains practical examples of project implementation based on sustainable project management, which is a valuable source of information for both theoreticians and business practitioners.
