Abstract

Contemporary project environments involve increasing complexity and psychological demands, while mental health remains underrepresented in project management research. This article presents the big project picture as a holistic visual approach to enhance shared understanding and reduce uncertainty in projects. Based on qualitative expert interviews, a study conducted by the author shows that its collaborative use supports orientation, reduces stress, and strengthens employee motivation, positioning it as a promising psychological support mechanism in project work.
