Abstract
The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current trend in the implementation of project offices in the activities of domestic organisations, and presents the results of an analysis of domestic and foreign experience in the implementation of the project offices. The article considers the state standard R 58305-2018 “System of project activity management. Project office” which defines the goals, objectives, and functions of various types of the phenomenon under question. The authors emphasise the peculiarity of the Russian mentality and describe the role of the foreign experience inthe application of project methodologies for domestic business. Based on the results of the analysis of existing examples of the project offices organisation of various institutions in other countries, the authors concluded that it is almost impossible to transfer the foreign experience in its pure form to domestic companies and businesses. In support of this argument, the example of the “SberMarket” for adapting existing design approaches and methodologies for the organisation of the project office is considered in detail. In addition, the consequences of its incorrect implementation in the activities of companies are revealed: emotional burnout of employees, unjustified expectations on the part of management, increased costs, delayed effect of obtaining results. To solve the identified problems and difficulties faced by the heads of organisations when opening the project offices, we have proposed and described step-by-step the algorithm of the project office implementation.
