Project monitoring model in central governmental administration

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this article is to present the project monitoring model in the central government administration as a set of interrelated, complementary elements that influence the implementation of strategic projects on a nationwide scale and affect tens of millions of Polish citizens. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a literature review and analysis of the existing system, prospective directions for the monitoring of strategic projects were selected. As a result of this work, a model was created that was assessed for significance and replicability. The most experienced group of experts and practitioners in this field took part in the CAWI survey. Findings: The high level of significance of all areas of the model has been proven and its universal nature has been confirmed, thanks to the possibility of being used in other administrative units. Research limitations/implications: Due to limitations resulting from security procedures for research conducted in central government administration units, only closed questions were used in the research. In the future, the study can be carried out on another, larger population, having previously prepared it appropriately. Practical implications: The practical use of the model in administration units can contribute to increasing transparency, efficiency and automation of planning and implementation of projects. Social implications: Increasing the quality of implemented projects in accordance with the presented model may have a large, positive impact on the final beneficiaries - society, in terms of effective use of public funds, shortened project implementation time, and obtaining project results consistent with expectations. Originality/value: The article presents a new model of project monitoring in central government administration, which may be useful for scientists conducting research in the area of project monitoring and management in other countries. The article falls into the area of projectification of the public sector. Keywords: project management, central government administration, Project Management Office (PMO), significance assessment, feasibility assessment. Category of the paper: Research paper.
