Flexible project management methodologies

Abstract

Various companies, including those involved in small, medium, and large businesses, federal organizations, and even investment corporations, use project management in their activities. At present, we are experiencing far from easy times. The usual work scheme for organizations can become unprofitable in a moment. Companies have to adjust and restructure all business processes promptly during their implementation. Adaptation and transformation of processes and products are easier for those companies that follow the principles of agile project management. Departments or entire companies implement Agile principles to quickly respond to changes in the external and internal environment. Strict adherence to the plan (especially over long periods) restricts the initiative of employees on the ground who are more involved in current affairs than management. And they could offer more effective solutions, as they are «closer to the ground». Agile allows the team to respond adequately to the transformation of conditions, take into account variables in planning, and achieve goals despite unexpected events and crises.
