The efficiency of public administration is one of the decisive factors for the successful development of the country, all spheres of activity in the state. The same applies to the successful development of physical culture and sports. The main focus of the development of public administration itself is now on the programme-oriented method of governance, which, however, is often too cumbersome and resource-intensive. The authors propose to use the mechanism of project management in the fields of physical culture and sports and provide evidence of its greater importance to improve management efficiency. To achieve this goal, the paper presents a SWOT analysis of the existing model of state management of physical culture and sports in the Russian Federation, analyzes the theoretical aspects of project activities, and substantiates the positive aspects of the implementation of project management mechanisms in the activities of the Ministry of sports of the Russian Federation.
