Abstract
The article is devoted to the issues of combination of the most important components of the theory of sustainable development and the principles of project management. The current state of the problem has been analyzed, the lack of knowledge on the corresponding issues in national literature and practice has been indicated, the rare use of sustainable development elements in project management has been identified. The prerequisites for the involvement of sustainable development objectives in the components of project management have been examined. Achieving the defined purpose is possible through the implementation of projects that aim to take into account the interests of sustainable development, as well as through the implementation of other projects that include the objectives of sustainable development. Critical inconsistencies in methodological approaches to the accomplishment of the objectives of sustainable development and project management have been identified. Thus, a more profound specification of the project's priorities and objectives, as well as the elaboration of time scheduling and scope of work are needed. The objectives for minimization of the identified inconsistencies as well as for rationale for the principles of corporate social responsibility provision have been defined. The assessment of the current regulatory documents in the field of project management with the focus on the involvement of sustainable development objectives has been conducted. It is pointed out that the corresponding aspects are poorly elaborated in the most well-known regulatory documents, namely, Individual Competence Baselinet (ICB), International Project Management Association (IPMA), Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), Project Management Institute (PMI), A Guidebook of Project and Program Management for Enterprise Innovation (P2M), etc. Methodological approach to the integration of management decisions into the project management, the main components of which must be the integration of the regulations of PM into the main stages of SD, the broadening of time and geography of the project indicators, the identification of the correlations between the life-cycle of the project and product, as well as the expenses on the implementation of these projects and products and significant extension of the requirements of the project manager.
Highlights
Progressive differentiation of incomes of the population, especially in underdeveloped countries, extreme poverty in the majority of these countries, unstable structures of consumption and production, irrational use of natural resources, uneven economic and social development predetermined the emergence of the concept of sustainable development (CSD).The corresponding concept is a form of social existence which is characterized by the fact that all human activities are aimed at sufficient satisfaction of the basic needs of the present generation while ensuring adequate living conditions for future generations
The main provisions of the CSD are reflected in the following theses: 1. Sustainable development requires a rational attitude to the resources available to society and securing the environmental safety of the Earth; 2
The correlation between project management and sustainable development is analyzed in the scientific literature from two perspectives: projects are part of sustainable development [5] and, sustainable development is an integral part of project management
Summary
Progressive differentiation of incomes of the population, especially in underdeveloped countries, extreme poverty in the majority of these countries, unstable structures of consumption and production, irrational use of natural resources, uneven economic and social development predetermined the emergence of the concept of sustainable development (CSD). The main objectives and main prerequisites of SD are: poverty reduction, optimization of consumption and production structures, careful use of available resources, and socio-economic development. Sustainable development requires a rational attitude to the resources available to society and securing the environmental safety of the Earth; 2. The society is able to make its development long-term and sustainable with a guarantee of meeting the needs of both the living and future generations; 3. Sustainable development requires companies with a large amount of resources to coordinate their lifestyle with the environmental standards of the Earth [14]. The transfer of the corresponding information from the global level to enterprises is directed downwards, while at the stage of information aggregation there is the opposite direction — from bottom to top — from companies to management
