“…Pikkarainen et al ., 2008) and provide other communication benefits. It is also necessary to uphold transparency, which means that “every aspect of process that affect the result should be visible to all members involved in product development” (Anwer et al ., 2017, p. 4), and which requires “elaboration of clear standards and a common language of communication, limiting the arbitrariness of notions understanding by all project stakeholders” (Betta and Boronina, 2018, p. 446). Agile methodologies additionally introduce a range of principles and practices, which regulate the quality and quantity of social interactions between the project's participants such as daily stand-up meetings, honest communication (xPM), pair programming or shared code (XP2).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how agile project management can foster creativity in project teams.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on an extensive literature review of agile project management and team creativity and is matching these two to answer the following research questions: (1) how agile project management approach can foster creativity in project teams? and (2) which principles and practices promoted by the most popular agile methodologies enhance creativity in project teams?FindingsFive creativity-conducive spaces in agile project management were identified and integrated into a conceptual framework, namely, a space for generative social interactions, a space for learning, a space for change and adaptation, a space for exploration and a space promoting team members' well-being. In the next step, based on a thorough analysis of seven widespread agile project management methods, a large number of agile principles and practices were mapped into each of the five conceptual spaces.Originality/valueThis study provides new insights into how agile project management can foster creativity in project teams. The conceptual framework developed in this paper might be utilized to enhance creativity in agile teams, it can also serve as a starting point for future research.

Stakeholders' Participation in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a critical factor in determining the performance and success of projects across various sectors. Effective stakeholder engagement ensures that the voices and perspectives of all relevant parties, such as government agencies, local communities, NGOs, and consumers, are heard and considered throughout the project lifecycle. By actively involving stakeholders in the M&E process, projects benefit from their valuable insights, leading to better-informed decision-making, improved project design, and enhanced transparency. Ultimately, this collaborative approach contributes to more efficient and sustainable project outcomes, addressing the diverse needs and interests of the stakeholders involved. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The target population was 250 stakeholders in Water Supply Project (Cotter Dam) in Australia. The study did sampling of 220 respondents that were chosen from the target population of 250 stakeholders of Cotter Dam in Australia. Questionnaires were used to gather the data. In conclusion, the evidence from the Cotter Dam project in Australia underscores the critical importance of stakeholder participation in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) for the successful execution of water supply projects. Active involvement of stakeholders, including government bodies, environmental organizations, local communities, and consumers, leads to improved decision-making, transparency, and accountability throughout a project's lifecycle. By embracing lessons from the Cotter Dam, future water supply projects can adopt more inclusive, transparent, and collaborative approaches, ultimately ensuring the continued success and sustainability of critical infrastructure initiatives. The study recommended that to enhance the effectiveness of stakeholder participation in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) for water supply projects in Australia, it is crucial to establish robust communication channels that engage a diverse range of stakeholders, from government agencies to local communities. Additionally, clear policies and guidelines should be implemented to ensure mandatory stakeholder involvement and accountability, fostering a more inclusive, transparent, and successful project execution.

“…A forma como a transparênciaé implementada nos projetosé alterada pela dinâmica do desenvolvimento da teoria e da prática do gerenciamento de projetos -do gerenciamento clássico de projetos (representado principalmente pelo PMBOK)à família de métodos iterativos-incrementais flexíveis de gerenciamento de projetos e produtos (Agile). Assim, o valor da transparência e sua operacionalização nos projetos pode variar nas diferentes abordagens de gerenciamento existentes [Betta and Boronina 2018].…”

“…Dentre esses problemas e desafios, a transparência tem ganhado destaque, como sendo uma condição e uma ferramenta necessária para os projetos e o seu gerenciamento [Betta and Boronina 2018]. A transparência pode melhorar a visão dos processos e informações organizacionais, oferecendo oportunidades de conhecimento sobre eles, reduzindo a possibilidade de omissão de informações, permitindo o controle sobre os produtos e serviços, facilitando a pesquisa e aumentando a confiança entre as organizações e a sociedade [Nunes et al 2017].…”

As organizações têm buscado cada vez mais implementar mecanismos que proporcionem transparência e aumentem a participação dos stakeholders em seus projetos. Diante desse cenário, este trabalho tem como propósito discutir o uso de redes sociais como instrumentos de promoção da transparência e da participação dos stakeholders nos projetos. Para isso, é apresentado o caso do Observatório Universal de Projetos, uma ferramenta concebida a partir da narrativa de uma rede social. Além disso, são discutidos desafios de pesquisas relacionadas a essa temática.
