We have built a project management activity in UkrSibbank focusing on four major pillars: common rules and standards for project management, projects prioritization and clear resource allocation, proper communication on projects and common project management tools, business case-based project evaluation and choice.
 
"As a result of such approach we have possibility to receive high-level view of projects and their alignment to bank’s strategy, possibility to make thorough decision on projects by more deep analysis of their feasibility and costs vs benefits", - added Lionel Dumeaux.
