German term or phrase: Projektlandschaft
On a chart entitled "NOAH: Das Projektkonzept" the following subheadings appear: (NOAH stands for Neu/Offen/Aktiv/Herausfordernd)

- Der "Case for Change" und Projektauftrag
- Die Projektlandschaft (Aktionsfelder von NOAH)
- Der Terminplan
- Die Projektorganisation
- Die Teilziele je Aktionsfeld

Any ideas anyone? (A bit of help with "Aktionsfeld" wouldn't come amiss either)

project environment
Explanation:
“project environment” is the jargon of the moment – you will get loads of internet hits for this, as an example

e.g “Team Management in a Project Environment” course advertised on http://www.scps.nyu.edu/dyncon/mgmt/nyuscps_MCBP_X50.9755.ht... , content of which is: “One of the most important skills for project success is team building and leadership. Because of the multi disciplined composition of project teams, team management is even more critical and more difficult than in less diverse groups. This course provides concrete tools to help project managers bring individuals together in a success-oriented team. Students learn to communicate the scope and importance of the project; keep meetings on track; deal with difficult team members; and focus individual efforts toward the project goals. 2.0 CEU.

Aktionsfelder here refers to NOAH’s list of jobs-to-do, so how about something like “areas of responsibility”/ “NOAH’s responsibilities”
