Abstract
The Change in Management Style during then Course of a Project from the Classical to the Agile Approach
Highlights
In the past twenty years, substantial changes have come about in project management
Even though agile methods are typical for software innovation in the future, it is expected that agile methods will be part of the creative project management (Dobson, 2010)
There was indicated that there is still a predominance of knowledge and experience in waterfall methods, though the majority of responders had the experience in both methods, see Tab. 1. This should be explained by the fact that agile methods are relatively young and the majority of projects are still managed using the classic management style
Summary
In the past twenty years, substantial changes have come about in project management. From classical project management styles such as PRINCE2 and PMI, new agile methods have been launched for project management such as PRINCE2 Agile and SCRUM (see book Chin, 2004; Kaliprasad, 2005). Over the past five years, we have sought to determine risks and actions that may arise as an all agile software development team moves toward agile methods (Thiemich, 2013; Orlowski et al, 2017; Meding, 2017; Saito et al, 2018). Current research on the transformation to agile project management has been explored mainly in cases in which an entire project team which had been working in a classic environment has implemented agile methods from the beginning to the end of the project. New ways to improve project management have the greatest chances for SMEs in cases in which re-training a substantial team is feasible. By using the Chi-square and Fischer’s exact test, mostly based on management responses from SMEs, we have theoretically shown that it is possible to change the management style of a project from the classic to agile approaches
