Methodological Aspects of Project Techniques Selection for Innovation Project Management

Abstract

Project Management offers a variety of methodologies which provides managers with different techniques and tools to use during project planning and implementation. At the same time there is a substantial lack of systematized approaches to the management of innovation projects. In this article key factors in the selection of appropriate techniques in innovation project management will first be identified. Theoretical analysis of different project management standards and possibility of their use will then be discussed. In addition how the techniques can be applied will be investigated through academic paper analysis. . This research makes a theoretical contribution to the field of project management by selecting and determining which project management techniques can be adapted and applied to innovation projects. Recommendations for practical application are based on theoretical findings of the research. These include two main factors, which are: influencing the choice of project management techniques and the structure of project selection process. The significance of the results obtained is confirmed by creation of theoretical knowledge, which permits to thoroughly understand and capture issues which may emerge during innovation project planning and implementation, through the use of established project management methodology. Keywords: Project management, Innovation, Project management standard, innovation project, PMBoK, PRINCE2, ICB.

Classification of parameters of innovative projects in the framework of digital transformation programs for sustainable development of industrial enterprises

“…In works [14,15], tools for managing (identifying) innovative projects are presented, including those aimed at determining the general characteristics of innovative projects and using these features to categorize such projects. The features under consideration can also be defined as parameters of an innovative project.…”

“…We have become a society driven by projects.Research and practice in the field of project management (PM) have evolved as a response to this fact.The significant growth of project management area in recent decades, both in academia as a professional, produced an increase in the supply of models of reference proposed by professional associations in pursuit of greater efficiency and effectiveness in carrying out projects of various types and nature. Among the various associations and their project management bodies of knowledge, should be highlighted(HEWAGAMAGE;HEWAGAMAGE, 2011;IAKOVLEVA, 2014)we consider software development type Information Technology (IT: The International Association of Project Management (IPMA); The Project Management Institute (PMI);The Association for Project Management (APM); PRojects IN Controlled Environments version 2 (PRINCE2); The Project Management Association of Japan (PMAJ).…”
