Toward Defining the Vibrant Concept of Agile Project Management

Abstract

Current studies have presented multiple understandings or meanings to the concept of agile project management. However, there has not been a formal definition of agile project management, which relates the underlying theoretical foundation of project management with the agile project management literature. This study presents various concepts of project and project management in order to articulate a final research-based definition of agile project management. Consequently, a formal definition of agile project management is constructed. As a result, the paper concludes with a set of recommendations for further research on agile project management. This paper is a portion of an ongoing computer information system's research effort on agile frameworks.

“…In this regard, a project-oriented organisational philosophy would encourage this kind of innovation by involving staff in projects to bring about change to the school's culture, values, structure and teaching (Turner and Miterev, 2019). This project management approach is used with the aim of triggering institutional change by identifying complex processes and the technical requirements for empowerment and accountability underpinning them ( Álvarez-Dionisi, 2016). This process must in turn be critical of the practices of integrating digital technologies, in order to observe whether these practices are accommodations to technology or are really a pedagogical transformation, carrying out this analysis from the ethics of teaching (Buchanan et al, 2022).…”

Global Project Management Trends

“…According to Alvarez-Dionisi, project governance is "the process-driven system that allows management, shareholders, board of directors, and other stakeholders to have timely, relevant, reliable, and transparent information on all enterprise investments made via projects, programs and portfolios. Project governance is a subset of corporate governance by which projects, programs, and portfolios are directed and controlled, in order to implement the organization's strategy" (Alvarez-Dionisi, 2008). The project manager is responsible for project governance, and the executive management and board of directors are accountable for project governance (Alvarez-Dionisi & Turner, 2012).…”
