Human behavior is the most common cause of project management failure. Behavioral economics is interdisciplinary in nature and allows you to identify the psychological basis for making a project manager decisions that lead to success or failure in projects. The personality of the project manager, project teams, and a special project environment continue to dominate the analysis of human behavior in project management. The article may be of interest to scientists and project management practitioners. The aim of the work is to study the principles of decision-making in project management and the influence of behavioral economics on them. The objectives of the article are to determine the impact of behavioral economics on project management as a system, to compare the methods of hard and soft systems approaches in planning and decision-making, to develop principles and sequence of actions for project integration. Methods. When writing the article, a behavioral approach, a systematic approach, decision-making methods, heuristic methods, a soft systemic approach, a hard systemic approach, a logical-structural approach, and integration methods were used. The results of the work are to harmonize the principles of PMBoK project management standards of the announced 7th edition, ISO 21500, ISO / IEC 15288 with the principles of the management economics approach. Providing system integration based on a soft systemic approach to management, allows to more fully take into account the human factor when making decisions and serve as a tool for implementing the principles of behavioral economics. A comparative analysis of the hard and soft systemic approaches is carried out and their main differences are identified. Effective integration requires organizational, administrative and behavioral skills in managing people. The principle of innovation, the principle of flexibility to change, the principle of combined compensation and the principle of combined value are the four principles of integration. Scientific novelty. The work further developed methodological approaches to substantiating the creation and further formation of a unique mental space for project activities, by ensuring the using of methods and approaches of behavioral economics. Practical significance. The results obtained are aimed at improving methodological approaches to decision-making in project activities based on ensuring the implementation of the principles of behavioral economics. Ensuring the principles and sequence of actions for the integration of the project is aimed at increasing the number of successfully implemented projects.

Reliable schedule-risk estimation in hybrid software development lifecycles is strategically important for organizations adopting AI in software engineering. This study addresses that need by transforming routine process telemetry (CI/CD, SAST, traceability) into explainable, quantitative predictions of completion time and rework. This paper introduces an integrated probabilistic model of the hybrid software development lifecycle that combines Generalized Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) network semantics with I-AND synchronization, explicit artificial-intelligence (AI) interventions, and a fuzzy treatment of epistemic uncertainty. The model embeds two controllable AI nodes–an AI Requirements Assistant and AI-augmented static code analysis, directly into the process topology and applies an analytical reduction to a W-function to obtain iteration-time distributions and release-success probabilities without resorting solely to simulation. Epistemic uncertainty on critical arcs is represented by fuzzy intervals and propagated via Zadeh’s extension principle, while aleatory variability is captured through stochastic branching. Parameter calibration relies on process telemetry (requirements traceability, static-analysis signals, continuous integration/continuous delivery, CI/CD, and history). A validation case (“system design → UX prototyping → implementation → quality assurance → deployment”) demonstrates practical use: large samples of process trajectories are generated under identical initial conditions and fixed random seeds, and kernel density estimation with Silverman’s bandwidth is applied to normalized histograms of continuous outcomes. Results indicate earlier defect detection, fewer late rework loops, thinner right tails of global duration, and an approximately threefold reduction in the expected number of rework cycles when AI is enabled. The framework yields interpretable, scenario-ready metrics for tuning quality-gate policies and automation levels in Agile/DevOps settings.

The article discusses issues related to the implementation of modern transformational development technologies in the field of reforming local self-government through the formation of capable united territorial communities. The article claims that today in Ukraine the first evolutionary stage of voluntary community unification has already been passed and now Ukraine is moving on to the next stage - community unification by the principle of ability. This second stage of decentralization involves a radical reduction in the number of districts through the unification and creation of new capable administrative and territorial units at the subregional level. This necessitates a change in the functions of local governments from the implementation of the existing external strategy, to structures that independently develop strategies and tactics, and are responsible for their decisions to the residents of the communities. The role and specific features of capable united territorial communities, as public law units that have all the necessary resources to solve local issues provided for by law, are described. It is proved that strategic goals require a systematic, step-by-step technology for the development and implementation of both strategic and tactical levels. However, among specialists from local economic development, certain gaps in understanding how to turn strategies into tactical development plans through projects and programs have been identified. Although project management has all the necessary tools to create mechanisms for implementing the developed strategy. It is the lack of knowledge on the practical application of well-known project management tools, which causes failures in the implementation of strategies. The article notes that the failure in the developed strategy implementation can be due to both shortcomings in the development of the strategy itself and errors in the development of tactical measures for its implementation. Highlighted shortcomings in the training of project competencies of persons related to the development of program-targeted documents in the newly united territorial communities. The development of transformational tools for united territorial communities through the integration of strategic planning and tactical project management is proposed. В статье рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с внедрением современных трансформационных технологий развития в сферу реформирования местного самоуправления путем формирования мощных объединенных территориальных общин. В статье утверждается, что сегодня в Украине уже пройден первый эволюционный этап добровольного объединения общин и теперь Украина переходит к следующему этапу – объединения общин по принципу способностей. Этот второй этап децентрализации предполагает радикальное сокращение количества районов за счет их объединения и создания новых способных административно-территориальных единиц на субрегиональном уровне. Это вызывает необходимость изменения заданий органов местного самоуправления от выполнения разработанной вовне стратегии к структурам, которые самостоятельно разрабатывают стратегию и тактику развития, а также несут ответственность за свои решения перед жителями общин. Охарактеризована роль и специфические особенности мощных объединенных территориальных общин как публично-правовых единиц, имеющих все необходимые ресурсы для решения вопросов местного значения, предусмотренных законодательством. Обосновано, что стратегические цели требуют систематической, пошаговой технологии разработки и реализации как на стратегическом, так и тактическом уровнях. Подчеркнуто, что среди специалистов по местному экономическому развитию выявлены определенные пробелы понимания, как превратить стратегии в тактические планы развития через проекты и программы. И хотя в управлении проектами есть все необходимые инструменты для создания механизмов реализации разработанной стратегии. Именно отсутствие знаний по практическому применению известных инструментов управления проектами вызывает провалы в реализации стратегий. В статье отмечается, что неудача в реализации разработанной стратегии может быть обусловлена как недостатками разработки самой стратегии, так и ошибками при разработке тактических мер по ее реализации. Выделенные недостатки...

The article discusses the methodological aspects of portfolio management of organizations development in conditions of behavioral economy. It is shown that the success of the organization’s development portfolio is impossible without taking into account the dominant values of the organization. The article discusses conceptual provisions, methods and models that form the basis of value-oriented management of project portfolios. The conceptual foundations of the value-oriented portfolio management of organizational development are based on models of project life cycles, the formation of a vision for the development of organizations based on the evolutionary theory of values in dynamic environment. The existing concepts, models and methods of managing projects portfolios of organizational development are analyzed. Establishing the correspondence of the dominant levels of organizational values to the established practices of project management showed that the management of project portfolios should be considered from the perspective of a fundamentally new paradigm - as a systematic activity for the development of organizations based on the values that dominate the organization. The types of organizational cultures in accordance with the evolutionary theory of values are considered. The model of value-oriented development of the organization has been further developed and given an understanding of the essence of the spiral nature of the systems development and allows the implementation of joint measures for the organizations development in the form of projects portfolio. It is shown a model for diagnosing the state of organizational values at the stages of the system life cycle to determine a strategy for adapting organizational values to the requirements of the external environment. The method of competitive analysis of portfolio components has been improved to form the composition of the organization’s development portfolio by applying the principles of value-oriented and reflective management to make managerial decisions. The practical application of technology for value-oriented management of the enterprise development portfolio as a complex organizational and technical system is considered.
