Abstract

The subject of the study is the method of assessing and analyzing the level of maturity of sustainable project management of Russian enterprises. Having reviewed the scientific literature, the authors proved the tendency of integration between project management and the concept of sustainable development. The analysis of approaches to assessing sustainability indicators showed a lack of consistency, as well as the shift in emphasis to individual indicators and insufficient attention to institutional sustainability indicators. The problem is in the lack of a methodology for quantifying the level of maturity of sustainable project management which could become the basis for monitoring this management. The availability of monitoring is a prerequisite for a successful transition to the digital economy; while data-based management as the result of monitoring can become a platform for optimizing sustainable project management by tracking sustainability indicators. Due to the used methods of analysis of literature and international professional standards, as well as in-depth interviews with top managers of enterprises, the authors substantiated the method of assessing the level of maturity of sustainable project management, the innovation of which is the inclusion of the module of institutional indicators of sustainability and integrated quantitative assessment of economic, social and environmental indicators of sustainable project management. The technique was approbated through survey at 19 Omsk enterprises and the analysis of survey results is given in the article. A group of enterprises with high and above average maturity levels of sustainable project management was identified. The indicators of the institutional evaluation module demonstrating good potential for further development of sustainable project management are fixed. The influence of the transition to the digital economy on the increasing demand for monitoring the sustainability of project management is examined. The results can be used to optimize the processes of sustainable project management and to further improvement of the methodology of evaluation of this management in the context of the transition to digitalization of the economy and management
