Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the impact that extensive introduction of project management, that caused projectifi cation of public sector, exerts on public organizations. Considerations apply to both the projectifi cation process, its essence, as well as the operation of projectifi ed public organizations including local government organizations. The authors draw attention to the fact that the initial enthusiasm and uncritical assessment of projects, as an antidote to the bureaucracy of the public sector, may be premature. Projectifi cation causes a number of changes that are not always positive and also further limit the activities of public organizations.
