Projektikohtaisilla

Projektikohtaisilla is a Finnish linguistic form used to describe actions, decisions, or policies that are determined on a per-project basis. The base adjective projektikohtainen means “project-specific” or “per-project,” and its plural adessive form projektikohtaisilla is used when referring to multiple projects or to plural subjects tied to projects.

In usage, projektikohtaisilla signals that governance, criteria, or allocations vary depending on the specific project. It is common in business, project management, and public administration to indicate that decisions are tailored to each project rather than governed by a single, uniform rule. For example, statements such as “Päätökset tehdään projektikohtaisilla kriteereillä” (Decisions are made with project-specific criteria) illustrate the concept. The phrase can also appear in procurement, budgeting, or risk management contexts where resources, timelines, and requirements differ between projects.

Advantages of a projektikohtaisilla approach include increased flexibility, better alignment with project goals, and more accurate risk management. However, it can also lead to fragmentation, potential inconsistencies, and higher governance overhead if not managed with clear criteria and oversight. Successful use typically relies on documentation, standardized templates for project-specific decisions, and a centralized governance framework to ensure coherence across multiple projects.

In English, the concept translates roughly to “per-project basis” or “project-specific.” The term is chiefly a linguistic and managerial descriptor, used to convey that certain decisions or policies are applied differently according to each project’s unique circumstances.
