Unchanging values in changing times. These words are relevant in modern project management. A project consists of coordinated and controlled implementation of activities with a set start and end date, with a specific goal that must be achieved within the allocated time, expenses and resources.
Exploring Latvia's situation at the local municipal level, the lack of a holistic systems approach and insufficiently used techniques and tools to support project management has been identified.
The study aims to develop proposals for evaluating and improving project management in local governments by examining the project management techniques and digitalisation tools.
The study focuses on methods for improving project management in an organisation, including traditional ones and modern or agile methods.
For this study, digitalisation tools are considered various software, including those with artificially integrated functions, which are used in the organisation and supervision of the daily work of project management. The study assesses the potential of digitising the project management process and proposes a flowchart to implement project management methods in local governments effectively.
