Abstract
The integration of sustainability into business practices and organizational strategy requires a rethink as to the way in which operations are managed. As managing projects increasingly play an integral role in business and society, the question is whether current project management definitions, methods, processes, practices and knowledge areas are fit-for-purpose in delivering sustainable outcomes. This paper will examine the impact of sustainability on the methods, processes, practices and knowledge areas used to manage projects. A comparison of evidence from the literature will identify the leavers that shape the current agenda and can assist in the development of a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the discipline to move towards 'sustainable project management'. This agenda will identify key areas of focus for academics and practitioners before evaluating whether an evolution of project management towards sustainable project management is possible, or if a more revolutionary approach is required.
