Abstract: Abstract In recent years, the phenomenon of projectification has received increased attention, as it has permeated beliefs and behaviors to the extent that it affects not only our professional lives but also our everyday lives (Jensen et al., 2016). The term projectification was introduced by Midler (1995) in a study of Renault, where the company was transformed into a project-based organization in the 1970s. The presence of a projectified perspective has come to dominate how we work and live our everyday lives. As a result of this projectification in society, companies in the construction, IT, and experience industries are no longer alone in using projects to manage and organize their activities. It has also become common in the public sector and civil society (Fred, 2015). This indicates an increased dependence on projects to organize welfare and social development.
