Abstract
The main purpose of the article is to present a new methodology for Agile project management in the public sector and to discuss the issues related to its implementation in governmental organizations. The methodology is hybrid insofar as it implements agile tools in a traditional hierarchical environment. The approach aims to overcome some of the weaknesses of public sector project management, such as the cumbersome communication system, the multilevel hierarchy in reporting levels, ex-post control, high risk, large bureaucracy, voluminous documentation, etc.

Summary
Efficiency and effectiveness of public administration are a permanent focus of public attention. The public sector is pre-determined by regulations, insufficiently oriented towards service users, bureaucratized and hierarchically organized. All this represents an obstacle to agile project management, which aims to provide autonomous project teams, frequent and honest feedback from clients and other stakeholders, flexibility of project scope, etc. The research area of the study is the feasibility of agile project management in the public sector, with IT services and in other public projects – infrastructure, in creating local strategies and development plans with wide stakeholder involvement, as well as in the implementation of these projects, related to regional marketing
