Adaptative Project Framework as a Development Project Management Method on the Example of the Kashubska Ostoja Project

Abstract

The article focuses on a synthetic assessment of the validity of the application of certain methodologies in the management of development projects (including TPM, APF, APM)1. The authors, after discussing the basic assumptions of traditional methodologies and so-called “agile” ones, present the results of a development project implemented using the adaptive approach (Adaptative Project Framework). As the presented project was successful (full implementation of its assumptions ahead of time and with financial success), it was used as a basis on which the authors present the specificity of an adaptive approach in the management of development projects along with its critical analysis. The final result of the considerations is the presentation of the advantages and limitations of the application of such an approach to the management of development projects.
