The article described the problems of the implementation of infrastructure
restoration projects in Ukraine, and set the scientific task of developing a syncretic
project management methodology. Existing modern trends regarding the implementation of
methodologies in the practice of project implementation by project-oriented
organizations (companies) were analyzed. Among such trends, the following are
highlighted: the construction of a corporate project management methodology based on an
existing international standard, the use of several methodologies in the project
management system at the same time, the emergence of IT project management
methodologies, the integration of such methodologies with classic project management
methodologies, the use of combinations of methodologies in one corporate system. An
analysis of the most common project management methodologies was conducted, including
PMBOK, PRINCE2, ISO21500, ICB, P2M. Formulated research goal. Based on the analysis,
seven classes of methodological approaches were formulated: PMBOK-based, PRINCE2-based,
P2Mbased, methodologies of IT companies, individual frameworks of Agile methodology,
customized hybrids of Agile methodology frameworks, customized hybrids of classical
methodologies. An evaluation of such approaches was carried out, among which, based on
the results of the evaluation, those that are most suitable for the studied projects
were selected and characterized. For the selected three classes of methodological
approaches, an analysis of advantages and disadvantages was carried out. Based on the
results of the analysis, it was concluded that the available classes of methodologies,
as well as models of their combination, do not fully meet the tasks of restoration
projects. Three main approaches (models) of combining different methodologies in one
corporate project management system were also formulated: convergence of methodologies,
hybridization of methodologies, syncretic approach. In order to increase the
effectiveness of implementation of restoration projects, it is proposed to develop a
syncretic methodology for managing projects (portfolios of projects). A SWOT analysis
was conducted, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities arising from the application of
syncretic project management methodology and threats that may arise were highlighted.
Formulated fields of further research in the chosen direction: development of interfaces
models of syncretic methodology of project management at the level of corporate
methodology, development of methods of transformation of information about models and
methods of each methodology into interpreted information at the level of corporate
methodology, development of models of implementation of corporate methodology of project
management based on a syncretic approach, practical approbation of models and methods of
syncretic methodology in the implementation of restoration projects, development and
implementation of a strategy to overcome the threats of the use of syncretic methodology
through the realization of its possibilities.
