Modern practice of project management in Russian educational systems[Современная Практика Управления Проектами В Российских Образовательных Системах]

The sophisticated environment in which modern educational systems are developing has determined the necessity of transition to fundamentally new systems of organizational management. The key difference between such systems and traditional management systems is that they take into account cultural and value characteristics of organizations, which requires integration of formal and informal management mechanisms. In this regard, project management is considered as a way of systematic use of formal mechanisms of organization management and their integration with informal mechanisms. Strategic goals of education development require effective tools for their implementation. Project activities play a special role in this process. However, it is often formal and chaotic. Time has come for creating project management systems in education. Objectively, there is a contradiction between the need to ensure sustainable development of the education system and the limited capabilities of the existing tools of project management. This research is aimed at resolving this contradiction; within the framework of this work we include practical recommendations for the effective implementation of project management systems in education have been developed.
