Abstract
The article presents the study results of students’ involvement in the transformation and development of intra-group interaction in the process of mastering an educational program. The key tool is students’ project work aimed at solving significant educational problems. Project management in the educational program is based on distributed leadership. However, based on the results of surveys, interviews, and product analysis of students ’project activities, the problem of students’ unwillingness to interact in the project group is revealed. The study purpose is to identify the impact of student engagement on the development of intra-group interaction in project groups. The correlation analysis has shown that students’ lack of readiness for interaction correlates with a low level of their involvement in project activity, which leads to the process formalisation and project activity results. The solution to this problem gives the educational program competitive advantages due to the formation of students’ competencies of interaction in project groups and distributed leadership.

Organisations offering new educational programs are interested in the long-term benefits that can be achieved based on the new project management methodology
If undergraduate students, developing a group educational project, offer a new project product that is used in practice in educational organisations, this creates competitive advantages for the educational program in which they study
Summary
Educational organisations are searching for new ways to achieve competitive advantages in the market of educational services. Organisations offering new educational programs are interested in the long-term benefits that can be achieved based on the new project management methodology. This is why students ' project activities are so widely used, becoming the most important means of forming general professional competencies. Research and teaching staff and students are beginning to perform new functions and roles for themselves by joining project groups. This is often accompanied by a weak involvement in group activities and an unwillingness to take responsibility for the overall result of the activity. The study purpose was to understand how the involvement of each student in project activities affects the development of intra-group interaction for better development of the undergraduate educational program
