The article is devoted to testing the research hypothesis: project management increases the efficiency of managerial decision-making in educational institutions. The authors studied the theoretical and methodological foundations of effective management of educational projects, which confirmed the theoretical possibility of substantiating the hypothesis, namely: they learned, in general, what is the difference between project management and the traditional approach, studied the criteria for the effectiveness of project management, examined and clearly presented approaches to managing an organization, determining principles of the project approach in education and presented the process of designing educational activities. In the study, the authors used both general scientific and specific methods. As an empirical confirmation of the hypothesis, the introduction of project management by educational projects is shown in the example of passing accreditation. For clarity, the authors presented the stages of the project and the Gantt theorem for clarity of its implementation. The experiment showed the effectiveness of the use of educational project management.
