Project management is the process of managing a project initialisation to the proper execution
of the project. The project leader or project manager plays the role. The project manager
plane, initiate, manage and execute the plan (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The challenge that
comes while managing a project is not able to meet the specific criteria of the project. The
project manager looks that the project meets the time and resources that are specified for the
project. Quality is also an essential factor for successful completion of the project. The main
aim of project management is to meet the need of the clients (Schwalbe, 2015).
There are primary and secondary constraints to the completion of a project. The primary
limitations include scope, time, quality and budget and the secondary constraints provides for
the allocation of the inputs for the project according to the need of the clients. The main aim
of a project is to meet all the criteria within the provided time constraint and resources
(Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). The success of a project depends on four factors that are the
plan, process, people and power. The activities that are included in a project are phased,
iteration, leaned and incremental that will help in the successful completion of the project.
The project management also includes an extension of project time that is necessary for the
proper execution of the project. Several approaches are made during the project life cycle that
includes project planning, analysing the need and complexity, quality management and the
performance of the plan (Larson & Gray, 2017). The role of the project leader is vital to
ensure that the project outcome is successful and meet all the constraints.
The meaning of the word sustainability is maintained rate or level of work. In the
context of project management the word sustainability means that reaching all the
requirements of the project are maintaining specific rate and level and producing the expected
project outcome. The project management processes need to be done by considering the
economic, social, environmental and legal factors need to be taken into account. The life
cycle of the resources of the project and the processes need to be aimed in such a way that

2TITLE
will give benefit to the team members, stakeholders, managers, executives and every member
who are connected to the project. Sustainability means that the whole project needs to be seen
in a completely new way. For the project to be sustainable the project manager also needs to
be workable so that they can able to manage time and revenue allocated for the project. The
sustainability of a project does not depend only on the environmental factors, but it also relies
on the safety provided to the labours reductions of the risk factors, ensuring human and
consumers right. By ensuring sustainability in the project management will ensure that those
correct strategic options are taken for the project. These will also provide the team members
and the managers will make the right decisions that will be right for the society and the
company as well.
The principles by which sustainability can be implemented in project management are as
follows:-
 Durability means that the social, environmental and the economic platforms are
harmonised and the aim is to satisfy all of them. The current aspects of project
management follow only profit under three pillars that are cost, time and scope
(Martens & Carvalho, 2017).
 The main focus of sustainability is short term and long term goals. The current
definition of project management fails to meet the long-term vision (Sánchez, 2015).
 The concept of sustainability has an influence on international stakeholders and local
level. The project management needs to be globalised if the business is globalised.
 The concept of sustainability revolves around the consumption of income, and the
natural property will remain the same. The company have to look after the social and
environmental capital (Martens & Carvalho, 2016).
 The two essential aspects of sustainability are transparency in the decisions taken and
accountability for the same. The company need to put forward all these decisions in

3TITLE
front of all team members and the stakeholders. There is no fixed goal of
sustainability, and the main element is change. The personal value and ethics are the
essential elements of sustainability (Økland, 2015).
There are several influences of sustainability on the process of project management.
The profit of sustainable project management is addressed by there constraints that are cost,
quality and time. The analysis of the influences of the sustainability of project management
will be focused on the social and environmental factors. The environmental factors that
influence the success of the project are the external and internal factors of the that are human
resources or condition of the market. The sustainability in the process of project management
first step is planning for the process group. In the planning process, it helps to develop
sustainable alternatives for the project. These viable alternatives help to improve cost
estimations and budgeting the cost it overruns (Heizer et al., 2017). The measurement of
baselines, reporting and tracking purposes analysis need to be appropriately integrated in the
project. These are some of the expensive steps of sustainability. The project manager focuses
on enabling and inspiring the people engaged in the business activity to integrate
sustainability concepts on their day to day work (Martínez-Perales et al., 2018).
 The engagement of sustainability in the project process gives the following positive
impact on the environment.
1. These reduce the waste that generally produced during the completion of a project.
There are several many elements in the components that reused which may be
harmful to the environment but incorporating the sustainability concept in the role of
project management will help to choose an alternative process for the same task. For
example, in a construction project, several steps need to be considered that so that the
environment is not affected and no environmental law is violated. The alternative

4TITLE
process that is chosen need to give the same outcome; otherwise it will have an
adverse impact on the project outcome (Voß & Kemp, 2015).
2. The sustainability concept also decreases the use of non-renewable energy sources
and the carbon footprint from the project. These will help to complete the whole
project to by selecting the renewable energy sources. These will be applied in such a
way that will not affect the result of the project. The carbon use can lead to several
damages to the environment as well as workers and humans. Sustainability will help
to overcome these issues in project management (Martínez-Perales et al., 2018).
3. In a project management process, the impact on the environment can be reduced by
the generation of specific product and processes. The concept will force the creation
of particular product or services that will be the alternative of some harmful steps
(Maas, Schaltegger & Crutzen, 2016).
4. When a project is allocated in specific location, the role of sustainability concept will
help in the development of the local communities that are present there. These will
help in giving employment to them during the lifecycle of the project. Thus allowing
social development as well contribute to earning revenues to the people and
development of the place (Leal Filho, Shiel & Paco, 2016).
5. If the teams that are engaged in the project are aware of the environmental issues, they
can also act responsibly and avoiding the steps that will cause harm to the
environment. For these, they need to be aware f the concept of sustainability and work
according to that (Noe et al., 2016).
6. By integrating the concept of sustainability in the project and the company which
have undertaken the project will help to build a plan that will support several
environmental and social factors (Laszlo & Zhexembayeva, 2017).
 Social influence of sustainability in project management are:-

5TITLE
1. This concept will help to improve the practices of the labours who are involved in
the project. These type of methods include the health and safety issues of the
workers are working for the project. This will ensure a secure working
environment. This sustainability concept also ensures that proper training and
education is provided to the workers so that there is no risk to their life and health
(Mok, Shen & Yang, 2015).
2. The influence of sustainable project management to the relation with the
employees and staffs are excellent. These also create employment. These also
ensure that no human right or civil right is violated and help in incorporating non-
discriminating activities within the project and provide the employees with their
indigenous rights. These also help in eliminating compulsory labour and stops the
vigorous activities.
3. The stakeholders are essential elements for completing a project. This concept
also help in the engagement of stakeholders in the project (Dobrovolskienė &
Tamošiūnienė, 2016).
4. Sustainable project management can also implement social action construction
and financing and can also have social influence. It encourages projects of social
government, and leadership. These become an encouragement to the people
belonging to the society (Uribe, Ortiz-Marcos & Uruburu, 2018).
5. The enactment of anti-corruption laws and anti-bribery practices will help in the
enhancement of the social condition of the place. The sustainability
implementation in the project also helps in analysing pricing policies and
competitions (Hueskes, Verhoest & Block, 2017).
6. Sustainability also helps in maintaining the relationship of the executives with the
suppliers and the contractors. Developing a good relationship within all the team

6TITLE
members will assist in continuing the work with proper flow. The project team
members will have a good communication platform. These help in the process of
selection, evaluation and execution of the project (Aga, Noorderhaven & Vallejo,
2018).
7. A concept of sustainability can be compiled with the idea of social justice which is
very important for the development of the society. It allows all the people who are
connected to the project to enjoy social justice (Schäpke et al., 2017).
8. It also contributes to arranging many social campaigns that gives society several
benefits. These also help in developing social values and also add to the
improvement of the community where the project is implemented (Aga,
Noorderhaven & Vallejo, 2018).
9. Bringing sustainability in project management help ton respecting the privacy of
the employee. The health of the employees is also taken in to account.
10. Human rights are also implemented in the project thus helping the project
management strategies. Human rights include disciplinary procedures for all the
activities also help in maintaining a good relationship with the union trades
(Morioka & Carvalho, 2016).
 The economic influence of sustainability in project management:-
1. It +6help to improve the financial performance of the project. It also has a
positive impacts on investment returns and solvency. The profitability and
income flow of the project are also enhanced. The financial plan can also be
improved by implementing the concept of sustainability in project
management (Corbett, Webster & Jenkin, 2018).

7TITLE
2. The sustainability concept help to influence the right practice for increasing
the financial benefits from the project by changing the social, environmental,
security and educational factors.
3. Cost management is a very important factor in project management. Id the
estimated cost is less than the actual cost incurred these will fail the execution
of the project. Sustainability can , and there is a less gap in the estimated and
the actual cost (Borkovskaya, Roe & Bardenwerper, 2018).
4. These also help in maintaining business ethics that are essential for project
management. The ethics of business include regular trading activities,
maintaining good relationships with the competitors, following the code of
conducts and many more. The legal requirements are also met easily (Nguyen,
Huynh & Zhang, 2015).
5. Managing a good relationship with the stakeholders, team members are
essential because it helps in risk management, increasing the shares in the
market and pricing of the project (Wilson et al., 2017). These will assist in the
execution of the project and reaching to the final result in a more proper way.
6. The participation of corporate governance can also be employed in the project.
These can improve the project by providing the resources and funding if any
scarcity is faced during the project (Annan-Diab & Molinari, 2017). The
participation of sustainability will ensure the project execution will be done
with the available resources. Thus, during the lifecycle of the project, no
scarcity will be faced during the life cycle of the project.
7. Innovation is specific need during the execution of the project. Managing the
change will get enhanced by employing sustainability.Research and

8TITLE
development can also be done more flexible. The production and service
flexibility can also be increased (Afzal, Maqsood & Yousaf, 2017).
8. The sharing of profit withal the deserving team members can be quickly done.
These will add up to the economic performance of the project. The gross
domestic product can also be enhanced (Silvius & Schipper, 2018).
9. The culture, heritage and the hierarchy of the organisation implementing the
project can be maintained. These will add up to the excellent reputation of the
organisation. Keeping a right image will attract may stakeholders and
shareholder which will be useful for the project.
10. The investments can be made in the services and the installation part. These
will improve the condition of the project (Muntean, 2018).
11. The project manager will be accountable for the economic and environmental
factors for the project. That will help to implement the environmental and
economic factors in the project (Chou et al., 2017).
12. It also facilitates the internationalization of the project if needed in some case.
It is thus enabling many services that are essential for project management.
There is influence of sustainability in the competencies of project management:-
1. The technical competencies of project management include the success of project
management. Parties interested in the project can be determined. Objectives and
requirements of the project are easily analysed. Evaluation of the opportunity,
threats, quality are done. Organising different steps of the project, resolution of a
problem that arises in the project, teamwork is enhanced, structures of the project
can be revised with the help of the sustainability concept. Scope and deliverables of
the project are evaluated, time and phases of the project is managed, cost and
finance are managed, changes can be easily made if needed, controlling and

9TITLE
reporting all these can be achieved. It also helps in information gathering and
documentation, communication within team members, starting and closing of the
project.
2. The influence of sustainable project management behavioural competencies of
project management consists of leadership issues. Engagement, motivation and self-
control in a project can also be achieved. It also influences assertiveness, relaxation,
openness, creativity. It supports consultation, negotiation, conflict and crisis in the
project. It also helps in appreciating values and ethics engaged in the project.
3. There are several influences of sustainable project management in the contextual
competencies. Project orientation, program orientation, and portfolio orientation can
be done. System product and technology can be improved. Personal management,
healthy, secure and safe environment can be developed. Many financial and legal
aspects can be enhanced sustainability on
 The sustainability issues also help in recognition of the context of the project. By the
integration of all three dimensions environmental, social and economical in the
identification of project context will help the project to become successful. The time
boundary and the spatial boundaries are stretched with the employment of the idea of
sustainability. The dimension of sustainability has an impact for short and long term
as well as local and global context of the project. For globalised project management
the business is also globalised. In project management that is supported by the
concept of sustainability the project is completed by compiling it with the strategy of
the organisation. In sustainable project management, the need of the society is also
noticed.
 The integration of the principles of sustainability help in the determination of the
requirements of the project. For example, by incorporating the social and

10TITLE
environmental aspects in the aim of the project will help to get the expected output
and outcome. The project management standards that exist quality of the project is
considered at first. By integrating the idea of sustainability the expected result and the
criteria for excellence are based on a holistic approach. These approaches include
economic, environmental and social pillars, short and long term and the global and
local group of stakeholders are also included (Fregonara, 2017).
 These also influence the project case, benefits and cost of the project. The way
sustainability in the content of the project needs to have a reflection on the project
justification. The price, benefits and business case need to be added with the social
and the environmental aspects. The concept of sustainability influence the project case
and address the interests of the society and the environment.
 The sustainability concept also influences the project success that is related to the
quality of the project. These also affect the success of the project that will be based on
the project life cycle and its output. In the current standards that are set for project
management are not sufficient for ensuring the success of the project (Todorović et
al., 2015).
 The sustainability also has an influence on the selection of the project team for the
organisation. Equal opportunity can be employed to all the team members of the
project. That will include the development of an individual and profit sharing. The
main aim of the sustainability issue is to enhance the performance of the team
members without considering their contribution after the project is completed (Flouris
& Yilmaz, 2016).
 This development also help in sequencing and scheduling the project. There will be
several opportunities in considering the idea of sustainability in planning, sequencing
and rescheduling the project. These will allow generation of less waste, reduction of

11TITLE
the delivery costs, enhancing the use of resources, To increase the labour skills
creating job opportunity and many more. These also help in efficiently doing the
project. There can be a waste in the materials but idle resources.
 The impact area of sustainability also incur materials that are used for the project.
There is a need of relevant considerations that will include use of hazardous
substances should be restricted, pollution, energy use need for the process of
production and use f resources for the life cycle of the project to be done.
 The influence of the sustainability factor is also present in the process of selection of
the suppliers. There is a need for diminishing the unethical behaviour and fighting
bribery. The standards for project management that are followed today include some
processes that are related to procurement, but the constraint of sustainability does not
support them.
 The identification of the risk and mitigation of the same can be made in project
management by compiling it with the idea of sustainability. Risk is uncertain in the
project management and with the concept of sustainability the evolvement of potential
risk needs to be done. Logically, the risk identification, social and environmental risks
are considered following the life cycle approach these can be removed.
 The sustainability idea can also influence the involvement of the stakeholders. These
principles have an impact on the management and communication of the stakeholders.
Engaging the stakeholders in the project is one of the basic principles of
sustainability. By linking the sustainable development with the role of the
stakeholders in the concluded that the interest of the stakeholders needs to be
incorporated in the project management. These will ensure the proactive participation
of the stakeholders in defining the requirements, assessing the cost and benefits,

12TITLE
planning and scheduling of the project, identification of the risk factors, issue
handling and reporting project.
 The concept of the of sustainability also helps in communication of the project by
following the principle of transparency and responsibility. The open discussion about
the project is needed among all the team members that will also help in covering the
social and the environmental factors. The previous approach of project management
includes sharing constricted information with the stakeholders and the team members.
 Reporting the project progress to become feasible with sustainability. The critical
issues for the success of the project are also influenced by the sustainability aspects.
The current strategies do not address the reporting of the sustainability factors.
 Project sustainability is an essential aspect while handing over the construction
project to the organisation. The sustainability factors influence the acceptance of the
project. The failed projects are not considered sustainable.
 The final area of influence of sustainability is organisational learning. Sustainability
help in minimising the wastes that are generated during the lifecycle of the project.
These help in minimising the wasting of the resources and that will help to reduce the
cost of the plan (Moradi, Hafezalkotob & Ghezavati, 2018).
 When sustainability is incorporated in the project management, it is responsible for
the impact of the steps on the consumers, employees, stakeholders, community and
environment. The project management need to be accountable to the sustainability
issues in the following ways:-
 The project that will be undertaken need to harmonised all the three pillars of
sustainability that are social, environmental and economical. All these pillars
influence each other and are interrelated. They influence each other in various way. If
the project influence any one of these pillars then it will challenge the sustainability

13TITLE
development. The role of project management is to ensure that the project is
completed by satisfying all these pillars.
 A company that is launching a project need to look after both the short-term and the
long-term consequences of the decision they are taking and need to be accountable for
the sustainable issues that are arising. If the short term gains are challenging any
sustainable resource, it needs to rethink of the step that is undertaken. Both short and
long term plans need to be analysed before they are enacted (Moradi, Hafezalkotob &
Ghezavati, 2018).
 .
 The geographical areas that are influenced by the organisation due to an increase in
globalisation economies. The organisation is often influenced by the stakeholders in
the international and local level. The behaviour or the steps that are taken by the
organisation have an effect on the social, environmental and economic factors
(Moradi, Hafezalkotob & Ghezavati, 2018).
 As argued by Robison and Martens that sustainable development reflects the values
and ethics of the society. These values are also fundamental as it leads the way a
project manager will conduct its project. These values need to be there in the team
members, staffs and the project leaders to get responsible for the sustainability issues
(Diouf & Boiral, 2017).
 The organisation need to be transparent and accountable of all the policies and actions
they are taking which will affect the sustainability. These also imply that clear
information will also be given to the stakeholder so that they can effectively evaluate
the actions and can address the potential issues. Complementing the principle of
accountability the organisation can take the responsibility of the policies, actions and
decisions that will affect the society and environment (Sroufe, 2017). The

14TITLE
organisation need to be answerable of all the sustainability issues that will arise
(Sierra, Pellicer & Yepes, 2015).
 Project management is accountable for risk reduction in the project. These are based
on the principle of understanding the relationship between environment and society.
These will be efficient in preventing damage by reducing the complexity that will
arise (Wiek & Kay, 2015).
 It is managing the project in such a way that will eliminate the waste that will be
generated. The problem of overproduction, transporting, processing inappropriately,
unnecessary inventory, defects and excess motion need to removed responsibly from
the project (Wiek & Kay, 2015).
 The project management aims are to consume income and not capital. The concept of
sustainability is producing more resources without affecting energy. The rate at which
the renewable resources are used should not exceed the price at which they are
renewed. This idea is also implemented in the project management. The ability of the
people to produce work, labour and knowledge should not be depleted. The company
need to handle the economic, social and environmental capital (Sroufe, 2017).
The critical parameters for sustainability in the future perspective will help the
project infrastructure that is vital for the expectations of the stakeholders. To
fulfil the need for shareholders and the consumers. The total value of the
project that includes innovation in the project areas is done in the planning f
the project. The organization takes the decision of the sustainability factors at
the time of the project life cycle, and they have to revise there project
according to the resource and time need. The sustainability of project
management for the complete life cycle depends on seven factors. Viability of
a project that a company is working on is done by the formulation of various

15TITLE
objective criteria of the project into a single objective criterion. The
parameters that are needed to look after for ensuring the sustainability are
enlisted. The profitability can be estimated at the initial stage that will help to
carry out with the project. The safety of the team members and the workers
need to be ensured at the initial phase of the project to ensure security during
the whole life cycle of the project. Transparency of the project among all the
team members needs to be there so that the execution of the project will be
hassle-free. Ethics and values are very much essential factors from the initial
stage of the project and throughout the project. The project needs to be , and it
needs to be ensured at the initial stages. The acceptance of the plan in the
society need to be full filled so that the impact of the project o the culture is
positive. The project should also fulfil the expectation of the stakeholders and
all the team members to ensure that the project outcomes are met. The
sustainability of a project is very dependent on the project managers who are
responsible for policies and decision making. For undertaking and deciding for
a project the human resource of the organisation is responsible. So HR is also
responsible for the sustainable issues that will arise during the project. The
responsibility of the project sustainability upon three levels of the company
that includes the project leader, the HR and the
Management and executives of the company (Tabassi et al., 2018). The
acquire the sustainability constraints within the project the feedbacks need to
be evaluated. The feedback at every step of the project managers needs to be
taken, and the changes are needed to be done accordingly.
From the above discussion, it can be concluded that employing
sustainability in project management make the execution of the project easy.

16TITLE
The sustainable project management has several areas where it has impacts.
Sustainability depends on the three pillars that are economical, social and
environmental pillars. The project manager needs to understand the
importance of project management sustainability and how they influences the
project life cycle. There are certain principles by which sustainability can be
employed in project management. Several factors influence the project and
compiling them with the concept of sustainability will help the project to
progress in the right direction. There are several constraints to project
management like time, scope and resources. Employing sustainability will
allow us to complete the project within the constraints provided. The standards
that are used previously may not be sufficient to fulfil all the requirements of
the project. By introducing the sustainability will help to deliver the project
with proper qualifications. The project manager needs to take the
accountability o the sustainable issues that arise during the life cycle of the
project. Sustainability includes managing budget time, quality, environmental,
social and economic factors of the project. The project manager plays a vital
role in managing all these aspects. The project managers need to take
responsibility for the things that are in their control. By the term
accountability, the organisation need to take the blame for its action, service,
product, policies that are undertaken. The organisation are approaching more
sustainable and environmentally friendly project. The project management
which is based on time and quality does not satisfy the essential factors of
sustainability that include environmental, social and economic elements. The
demand for sustainable project management is increasing in society. It is
essential that the project managers take the responsibility for the consequences

17TITLE
that arise during the full life cycle of the project. The concept or idea of
sustainability needs to be get reflected in the project management and the
outcome of the project. The influence of the sustainability concept in the areas
of the process of project management, indicators and performance of project
management and competencies of project management is there. The project
should consider. Thus all the team members, stakeholders and the executives
need to employ the sustainability criteria that are required for a project. There
is active participation of the project manager to use sustainability and will help
in completing the project. The earlier standards include time, scope and
quality that is not enough for the project to be successful. Therefore
environmental, social and economic factors are taken into account. The risk
and threat that are there in the project can be removed with the help of the
concept of sustainability. Sustainability help in the reduction of risk and help
in enhancing the social and ethical values. IT helps to create a clear idea of the
project among the team members and the executives of the project. Thus,
project management is influenced by the sustainability issues, and the project
managers need to be accountable for the sustainability issues. Sustainability
and project management combined can help in the execution of the project.
