Abstract
Sustainability has become a crucial consideration in project management. As organizations strive to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), project managers must find ways to ensure that their projects contribute to a more sustainable future. This article explores the role of impact assessment in sustainability projects and how project, program, and portfolio management methodologies can be adapted to prioritize sustainability. One key aspect of assessing impact is the use of sustainable indicators. Indicators can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of sustainability projects and help to track progress towards achieving SDGs (Ahi et al., 2021; Chiarini et al., 2020). However, the usage of sustainability into project management methodologies requires a significant shift in mindset and priorities. Project managers must consider the long-term impact of their projects, not just the immediate benefits and deliverables (Kerzner, 2021). At the portfolio level, organizations can identify areas where they can have the greatest impact and prioritize projects that contribute to their sustainability goals (Buggenhout et al., 2021). In conclusion, the article emphasizes the need for project managers to consider the impact of their projects on sustainability goals. This requires a collaborative effort from all stakeholders involved in the project, but the benefits can be significant, both for the organization and for the planet.
