Abstract

In the article, the author examines the problematic aspects of project management, the study is devoted to the development of a method for distributing research projects among teams of executors of scientific projects in private higher educational institutions, which takes into account the specifics of staffing the project and the specifics of distributing the workload among scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers of educational institutions. The proposed method is necessary for the management of a hanging educational institution for a qualitative assessment and making rational management decisions at the stage of appointing a leader and a team of executors of scientific projects, determining the resource base and limitations in this particular scientific project. A method for assessing the scientific potential of scientific and pedagogical departments of private educational institutions has been developed, which, in addition to the intellectual component, takes into account the peculiarities of comprehensive support for the implementation of scientific projects. It is possible to assess both the static and the dynamic component of the scientific potential, as an indicator of the sustainability and development of a private higher educational institution, taking into account the personal achievements of scientific and pedagogical workers. As an additional motivational tool, a method for distributing the bonus fund based on the results of the implementation of a scientific project has been developed, which makes it possible to take into account the personal contribution of the project performers. So, the incentive mechanism under the conditions of specific restrictions makes it possible to improve the bonus system, differentiate the scientific personnel of the educational institution, determine the level of professionalism of each executor of scientific projects using the project management methodology. Thus, a promising model for the management of scientific projects in private higher educational institutions has been developed as a part of the system for managing scientific projects. The content of the components of this model, in contrast to the existing ones, have been optimized taking into account the experience of project-oriented management.
