Modern problems of the theory of modeling and crisis management in project management

This study examines the dynamics of project simulation during crisis management. Competent project simulation lowers costs and risks associated with its implementation. This problem is relevant owing to the unstable global economy following the downturn, which calls for a correction of the structure of conventional project simulation. Aim. This study examines the dynamics of project simulation during crisis management. In addition, it considers the key aspects of project simulation, including the simulation of project life cycle. Tasks. This study generalizes methodological approaches to the development of the life cycle of a start-up project, determines the structure of a project’s environment, and specifies the notion of project crisis management. Materials and methods. This study employs a structural and functional approach to determine the practical significance of crisis management methods; namely, methods of optimal accounting, manual management, time compression, and cost reduction. Results. This study examines the dynamics of project simulation during crisis management. Moreover, it determines methodological approaches to the development of the life cycle of a start-up project. The results reveal that the use of crisis management in projects simulated by the process interaction method, while partially possible, brings no direct benefits. The implementation of such projects during a crisis is appropriate only for large enterprises that produce adequate revenue to implement a project without sacrificing the budget allocated for the primary activity. Conclusion. The selection of a project life cycle model is particularly important during a crisis. The selection of a simulation method during an economic crisis should be based not only on the properties of the model but also on the feasibility of applying crisis management methods.
