In the dissertation the scientific and applied problem related to resolving contradictions between different knowledge systems that claim leadership in the field of project management, such as “classical” project management, in the knowledge structure of which there are methods and tools of management “soft factors” and “systems engineering”, which offers a serious set of methods and tools, including both approaches to creating new products and analysis of design systems based on various mathematical methods used in systems analysis.
The aim of the study is to develop an approach that would combine the strengths of these approaches to develop an approach to management decision-making in project management based on systems engineering based on modeling as a best available practice for the analysis of project systems.
The analysis of domestic literature sources from the point of view of historical retrospective of development of project management in Ukraine is carried out, and also the data of similar researches concerning world trends of development of project management as a science are used. Based on the analytical review of the scientific literature, the most promising areas of further research have been identified.
Theoretical bases of formation of models in modern project management with use of system engineering in project management are considered.
Implementation of the management decision-making model in the process of project and program management using decision-making methods and tools, game theory, models and methods of analysis of the model of project managers' competencies offered by the International Project Management Association and the Project Management Institute as tools for creating an information project environment for systems engineering based on modeling.
The universality and applied value of the obtained results on the examples of practical application of the developed models in the field of project management are illustrated.
The object of research is the process of forming models of representation of design systems and methods of their analysis to create an effective information environment for management decisions in project and program management.
The subject of research is systems engineering based on modeling and methods of forming management decisions in the field of project and program management.
Extended scientific and methodological approaches to the construction and operation of the design environment using systems engineering based on modeling. To analyze the methods and tools used as elements of the information environment in design systems, as well as to study the impact of specific decision-making tasks on the quality of results, used methods of systems analysis, graph theory, probability theory, information theory, game theory, methods of estimating complex objects, Markov chain theory, which provide a plurality of "points of view" on various aspects of project and program management with the creation of appropriate analytical models. The use of the software are based on existing open solutions.
Keywords: project and program management, decision making, systems engineering, competency approach, modeling, models, graphs, Markov chains, entropy, uncertainty.
