Realization of R&D projects is one of the factors of the enterprise’s competitiveness. Under the policy of import substitution in the domestic market, enterprises should pay great attention to planning R&D projects, assessing possible risks and minimizing development costs. A detailed development plan for R&D allows you to achieve the main criteria for the effectiveness of the R&D project: cost, timing, quality. To increase the efficiency of planning R&D projects, it was proposed to introduce new aspects of planning. The first aspect is the formation of the project portfolio, and not the consideration of each project separately, regardless of other projects. The second aspect is the development and implementation of its own automated project management system for research and development projects for the implementation of projects within the established budget and timeframe, prompt receipt of reporting information on projects, transparency of each work performed and the workload of each department at the current time and in the future. The article considers the process of making a decision on the implementation of the project, proposed a project prioritization factor to avoid outages and overload of personnel, and consider the concept of «control points». Process of decision-making has a several stages. Stages include the assessing of project efficiency, determining the priority according to target of project realization, analysis of the current load on projects, determining the level of necessary resource, also assessing the usage of resources including new projects. For project planning to considered several scenarios also, to analyses and define the shortcomings of the planning systems. Should to make some additional aspects for each project in apart, also as a whole for project portfolio.
