Summary
Ensuring the successful existence of a business, regardless of the scope of activity in the changing environment, is conditioned by the ability to make changes. Changes at the enterprise level are usually implemented in the form of projects. Project management is a tool for successful change management. A number of projects are implemented in all areas of corporate activities with different impact across the enterprise, and it is possible to record the implementation of different types of projects (Archibald, 2004; Turner & Ledwith, 2009; Pitas et al, 2012; Skalicky, 2010). Regardless of the size or type of the project, it can be stated that the rate of utilization of project management in the different phases of the project life cycle is influenced by the extent of the participants’ knowledge of the project management theory and the extent of their experience with projects from previous practice.
