Abstract
The new era of project management has tendency to move away from the linear and predictable practice in projects to one that embrace the complex nature and role of the human element and interrelations. This tendency would make projects to become complex nonlinear systems. Though projects incorporate other elements such as technology, tools, methods and models, the human element can be characterized as the most important element in projects. All organizational factors can be seen as various manifestations of the human element. This paper will list a set of possible shared values – values that affect project performance positively or negatively.
