Continuous innovation and development are becoming the prerequisites of a company’s sustainable operation. This implicitly includes the change in the paradigm of business performance and management of a modern company.

The focus of contemporary entrepreneurial management should be diverted from the continuous repetitive processes towards those based on innovative projects. Project management, as a managerial technology of a systematic management of rounded processes of a project-based approach to development strategy, project realization of development programs and project exploitation of unique and time-limited project products, represents the model of managing the company’s flexibility and adaptability to the changes in the environment i.e. the dynamic optimization of business performance and the development of a company’s competitiveness
