Methodological Aspects of Project Techniques Selection for Innovation Project Management

The article examines the actual problem associated, on the one hand, with increasing requirements for the flexibility of human resources and management systems in conditions of increased dynamism and uncertainty of environmental factors, and, on the other hand, with the lack of scientifically based and practical approaches to assessing the flexibility of human resources with its subsequent formation. The relevance of flexibility is enhanced in relation to the human resources of innovative project teams, which are characterized by an even higher level of uncertainty, unpredictability and variability of project environment factors. This determined the purpose of the study, which is formulated as the development of a methodological approach to assessing the flexibility of human resources of innovative projects. To achieve this goal, there were set tasks of defining the concept of flexibility of human resources of projects, flexibility criteria and principles of their evaluation. The author used methods of analyzing the provisions set out in scientific publications, as well as the method of expert survey, which helped to formulate the hypotheses of the study, and then test them in practice. Using this method, 155 project managers and specialists from 36 enterprises in Russian cities were involved in the study. All enterprises implement innovative projects. The main conclusions of the expert survey were the following: innovative projects require flexible staff, flexibility is reduced to the ability to quickly and efficiently update their competencies, enterprises need methods for evaluating and developing the flexibility of human resources in projects, staff flexibility can be provided with a flexible management system. These findings became the basis for the development of a methodological approach to the assessment of flexibility, which provides for the assessment of the flexibility of people in projects and the assessment of the flexibility of project human resource management. There were proposed criteria for assessing flexibility, which are related to the assessment of the speed, depth and scale of updating the competencies of human resources of projects. The proposed developments can be useful to project managers for their activities to ensure the flexibility of innovative projects and people in these projects.

This paper investigates the shift to integrated solutions of incumbent telecommunications operators as part of their business transformation to survive the competitive market. It shows how innovation management and project management can reinforce the various practices at the firm level in order to foster growth and improve performance. Innovation management and project management have different roots and initial drives, but in the last years growing research has been undertaken in order to point out the interconnectedness of both approaches. However, just a few researches have demonstrated how innovation and projects interact and are implemented in practice. Integrated solutions offer such an arena for interaction, and a case study of BT Global Services (BTGS) is used in order to show the interdependencies of innovation and projects. Incumbent telecommunications operators such as BT in the UK need to innovate in order to cope with ever increasing competition in the ICT sector. Driven by a strategy of innovation, BT set up BTGS to deliver integrated solutions projects to large firms. These projects offer in turn a unique position for BT to profit from tacit knowledge about customer needs and wants, innovating for the customers and feeding back to BT’s innovation strategy. This facilitates BT’s long-term strategy in a very competitive and turbulent environment. A theoretical framework, based on a combination of innovation and project management processes, is used to approach the case study of BTGS, and an empirical, more realistic and accurate, framework is offered with the aim of better informing managerial practice.

The purpose of this study is to analyze existing approaches to managing a portfolio of projects and programs, their further development and generalization, the creation of systems focused on creating the competence of specialists in the field of managing enterprise project portfolios. The substantiation and main reasons for the need to form the competencies of specialists in project portfolio management from the point of view of the effectiveness of project activities and business of the enterprise are discussed.In modern conditions, the functioning of any company is determined by a number of global trends - a change in business formats under the influence of digitalization, networkization of the economy, and changes in the structure of transaction costs, optimization of project portfolio management. This, in turn, entails a change in the requirements for the competencies of managers in managing enterprise project portfolios. The higher education system currently does not form the necessary set of competencies for university graduates, who should be functionally involved in managing a portfolio of projects and programs. Project portfolio management competencies are erroneously replaced by individual project management competencies, while almost all modern enterprises have a project portfolio. This is one of the reasons why the managers of the enterprise, when hiring yesterday’s university graduates, formulate an introductory requirement for them: - “Forget everything you were taught at the university”.Materials and methods. The study was conducted from 2019 to 2021 at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation among 4th year students of the direction of study “Business Informatics”, studying in the profile “IT Management in Business”. The methodological basis of the study was a set of theories of innovation management, portfolio and project management. The typology of project portfolios is represented by the core competencies required by managers in managing project and program portfolios. An analysis of the existing education system shows that even after a master’s degree it is not capable of providing businesses with a professionally trained manager of large projects, not to mention a bachelor’s degree. Some limitations in the use of well-known portfolio management competencies due to their inconsistency with current business realities are noted. The main research method was the analysis of modern requirements for the functionality of the organization’s project portfolio management system.Results. It was revealed that the main requirements of modern business in specialists with competencies in managing a portfolio of projects and programs are significantly ahead of the existing competencies of university graduates. The main necessary competencies of project portfolio managers are determined. The gap in business requirements and existing competencies of university graduates in this direction of management is shown. The results obtained in the study can be used in the formation of competencies in the management of a portfolio of projects that the business presents to the education system.Conclusion. Project and program portfolio management is a significant factor in the development of an enterprise’s business. Business conditions are now such that enterprises simultaneously implement several projects and programs, these projects and programs are forced to be combined into portfolios. In portfolios, projects compete for the limited resources of the enterprise, and in the absence of systemic management of the project portfolio, lack of coordination between them, managerial chaos may arise that harm both individual projects and the entire business of the enterprise. Thus, combining individual projects into programs, and programs into portfolios, significantly increases the efficiency of project activities and the business of the enterprise as a whole.Using the example of Sberbank, the article compares the list of competencies required by the business functionality in the field of managing portfolios of projects and programs with the assessment of the competence of graduates in the direction of business informatics. The results obtained in the study can be used in the transformation of personnel training systems, in practical activities for managing portfolios of projects and programs of organizations of any type.

The analysis of specific features of full-time and distance learning forms under the program “Innovative project and grant activities of libraries” allows the author to make conclusion about the degree of its implementation as an interactive discussion platform for specialists of libraries of the Russian Federation.

The preference of agile practices to manage projects comes from the software development field. Based on the similarities between software and innovation projects, this article aims to present how is the literature approach of agile practices on the management of innovation projects. A systematic review of the literature was adopted to reach this target. The results were grouped into three topics according to the relationship between agile practice and innovation: (1) agile practices adopted in projects focused on innovation; (2) innovation as the result of agile practices adopted to manage the projects; and (3) innovative combinations of agile practices to manage projects. No more than 17% of the analyzed articles show the application of agile practices in innovation projects not associated to software development. The main contribution of this study is the evidence that the application of agile practices in projects not exclusively related to software development provides the same benefits achieved in software projects, requiring, however, that some adjustments be made. Such adjustments are greater as the project´s delivery moves away from the digital concept going in the direction of physical products such as hardware or manufacturing. The engagement and autonomy of the project team are essential components in the process of adaptation to the project needs. Beyond that, it´s recommended, according to the literature, to wait for a maturation period before performing efficiency and effectiveness measurements. Contributions to the academia include a better understanding of the different relationships between innovation and the application of agile practices.
