The present crisis situation in Russia is caused by the imperfect organization and control of all levels of professional and social activity. It is clear that today’s and forthcoming large-scale reforms in Russia affect all social, political, economic, organizational, scientific, and technological projects. The successful implementation of these projects requires new approaches to their preparation, realization, and management. Project management development is necessary in Russia.

In Project Management in Russia, Vladimir Voropajev offers perspectives on project management application and development in Russia. He answers the question: Why is project management needed in Russia? Where should it be applied? What tools from the rich arsenal of project management can be used right now? What tools require adaptation and what tools require new approaches and development? What fields have priority in project management development? What should be done for project management development and wide application?

Voropajev begins by defining project management, including who needs it, for what purposes, and when. He goes on to give a brief historical essay on project management development in Russia and throughout the world. Accumulated experience and achievements are highlighted here. He then presents an analysis of project management and its environment in modern Russia.

Project Management in Russia, which will be of particular interest to those interested in current events in Russia and opportunities for doing business in Russia, also features an extensive and carefully selected worldwide bibliography on project management.
