Strategic project management represents cross-cutting approach which is defined on a basis to reach business excellence in complex multi-project environment.

It is necessary to define a management system that will unite the expressed needs for change, both in the form of different project number and size, and in the form of programs being executed and a strategy inclusive of those needs. By applying this approach, supported by adequate organization, policy, leadership, resources and processes, the improvement of business results is greatly enabled, especially if the PM tools and techniques are applied, together with IT solutions for project collaboration. Thus, the balanced scorecard method should be considered as a starting point for strategy implementation and progress evaluation through projects.
