The article addresses the issue of improving project management in the event industry through the lens of the triple constraint concept. The relevance of the study is determined by the high dynamism of the external environment in the event industry and the necessity for effective balancing among the traditional project constraints under conditions of high uncertainty. It is shown that the specificity of projects in the field of event management lies in the impossibility of postponing implementation deadlines, the high sensitivity of budgets to external changes, and the special role of participants' subjective perception of event quality. The paper substantiates the need for the integration of time, budget, and quality management into a unified system of project planning and monitoring. Directions and methods for implementing the triple constraint model in event project management are presented. Conclusions are drawn that effective management of project constraints in event management requires consideration of the industry's specific features, the prevention of deviations, and the construction of a comprehensive control system.

The relevance of the problem under study is related to the fact that milk production, as one of the main livestock products and an important product for adequate human nutrition, is associated with ensuring food security of the country. Compared with the Soviet period, milk volumes both in general and per capita have decreased significantly. Despite the growth of milk yield per cow, milk production and consumption have noticeably decreased compared to 1990, although in recent years it has been increasing, as well as decreasing import dependence on milk supplies, and exports have increased (but mainly to the CIS countries). One of the important areas of state policy should be targeted support for livestock farming, aimed at increasing the livestock population and improving the efficiency of dairy farms. Russia should reduce the share of imports and increase exports of milk and dairy products, including exports should be directed to profitable destinations - to foreign countries. The purpose of the study is to identify current problems of milk production development and import substitution in Russia and to develop proposals for solving these problems. The article uses general scientific and special scientific research methods, including economic and statistical analysis, synthesis, and comparison. The value and novelty of the article is that it examines and identifies key problems in the development of the dairy industry in the country, as well as problems in the development of import substitution in this area. Directions for their solution are also proposed. Conclusions: in Russia, milk production is currently increasing, while imports and import dependence of consumption are decreasing, exports and their share in production are increasing. However, imports significantly exceed exports, import dependence remains high, and the volumes of consumption and production themselves, despite growth in recent years, are lower than in 1990. It is necessary to develop this industry, activate subsidies, develop infrastructure for the purchase and primary processing of milk for further processing for sale.
