Introduction. Understanding of the historical stages of the formation of project management methods is necessary to determine its key characteristics and peculiarities. This approach makes it possible to identify the laws of development of society in connection with the distribution of the principles of project management, to identify areas that are not considered in scientific works in sufficient quantities, as well as to identify the main trends in the development of project management methodology. Purpose. The article aims to study the development of the methodology of project management, to implement its periodization with the identification of major events that have influenced management practices, as well as the formation of the own view as for the current trends in project management. Method (methodology). In order to achieve the goal, such common scientific methods as method of analysis and synthesis, method of system approach, graphical method have been used in the research. Results. The periodization of approaches and methods of project management have been substantiated. Its main concepts have been systematized. These concepts have been developed in scientific works during the 1960-2000s. The results of successful projects over the last 20 years have been analysed. The main tendencies of project management development have been grounded.

Trust is the most important key element in the history of humanity and its success. We see and witness an emerging and exciting technology called Blockchain, eliminating losses caused by anti-trust and relieves pain in our socialbuild environment. Although the atmosphere in business, management, and society today has been heavily altered and involved, trust stays the same. This requirement leads companies in various industries to use new techniques to ensure their customer's business is in safe hands. Unfortunately, most of the current research is heavily based on the Bitcoin currency rather than its underlying technology, which focuses on revealing and improving Blockchain's limitations from managerial value perspectives. Many of the proposed solutions lack a concrete evaluation of their effectiveness. Many other Blockchain scalability related challenges, including throughput and latency, have been left unstudied. In this study, enabling functions is studied, and Blockchain's contribution to organisations' management is discussed. Besides, applicability in today's economic environment in various industries is studied. It is understood that after the development of technologies that eliminate centralised structures such as Blockchain, the business world is keen to adapt to this change. In this context, it is concluded that including new technologies such as Blockchain increased trust in various industries, and in the majority of the studies, Blockhain considered being an element to reduce costs and create a more transparent environment. It can be said that this technology contributes to the development and better understanding of the application area of the industries mentioned in the study.

Abstract.The purposeof the recent study is to substantiate the directions and develop a methodological approach to modelling the security of business processes by their main types, considering the interests of stakeholders who receive value from interaction with the business.Business as an economic system is based on the significant number of transactions that can lead to different financial, material, informational losses, as well as reputational risks due to the lack of stakeholders’ trust. To prevent these losses when creating and transferring values for stakeholders we suggested the approach to modelling the security of business processes which takes into account their main types (main, auxiliary, managerial business processes and business development processes), the results (value created) that key stakeholders get at the output of these processes, and the indicators that reflect the criteria for modelling the security of business processes — efficiency, effectiveness, and quality (customer satisfaction with the result of the process — the recipient of value). Using the fuzzy set method, a map of identification of the security status of basic, auxiliary, managerial business processes and business development processes was developed, which allows to use a wide range of characteristics of business processes and linguistic variables to describe them (from «catastrophic» state to «very good») and allows you to model options for changing the strategy of the enterprise in order to avoid the risk of imbalance of economic, social and environmental interests of its stakeholders. The proposed approach was applied to retail chains in Ukraine and provided decision-makers with useful information for a better contribution of internal control systems to creating stakeholders’ value.

Today, people are suddenly forced to interact remotely due to the pandemic, while companies around the world are beginning to accept the fact that teams don't really have to work in offices to get the expected results. That is why distributed teams are increasingly becoming the norm in various industries, delivering results, and saving corporate resources. At the same time, new realities have not only changed the way companies work but also changed people's thinking to adapt to working in distributed teams. Especially now, the knowledge and skills of employees are intellectual capital for companies, which is fast becoming a new icon of the economic value of the company. Due to this fact, project workers, those who want to succeed in the new business environment, should learn to work effectively in distributed teams. This will require strengthening soft skills such as leadership, commitment, etc. The article considers the economic and social preconditions for distributed project teams trend formation. The literature on the topic of the distributed team’s efficiency was analysed. Thus, one of the factors influencing the team work efficiency related to the soft skills maturity level among distributed project team members was distinguished. The unified list of soft skills based on world experience is determined. The current state and main trends in the work of project teams are studied, based on which the methodological tools for assessing the maturity level of the project team’s soft skills by project managers at the enterprise were proposed. The levels of soft skills maturity, as well as assessment parameters of each of soft skills, are revealed. The practice of applying the unified soft skills list on the example of a distributed team in the Ukrainian company was evaluated, based on which conclusions about the possibility of its use were made.
