This critical review draws on the increasing body of research on SDGs and sustainability in project management through the general project management literature and the relevant professional studies and reports that promote sustainability in project management. This is the first paper that takes the SDGs serious as an imperative and allows the project management profession to rise to the occasion. This review establishes a conceptual framework to systematically formulate, monitor and evalutate the projects as delivery process for SDGs, to identify appropriate tools to measure the performance of projects against the SDGs and sustainability.
