Popis: The rapid technological development and increasing complexity of the modern business environment necessitate more efficient and flexible project management methods. Agile Project Management (APM), known for its iterative and adaptive approach, is being increasingly adopted in the private sector, particularly in industries such as software development. However, its implementation in the public sector faces challenges due to rigid bureaucratic structures, regulatory frameworks, and traditional project management methodologies such as the Waterfall approach.This paper explores the potential application of agile project management in the public sector, with a particular focus on its advantages and limitations. Key challenges include aligning agile principles with regulatory requirements, transforming organizational culture, and adapting existing hierarchical structures. On the other hand, the potential benefits of APM in the public sector include increased transparency, more efficient risk management, faster adaptation to regulatory changes, and enhanced inclusivity of citizens and stakeholders through continuous feedback loops. Through an analysis of available research and practical examples, this paper explores under what conditions Agile Project Management (APM) can be successfully implemented in public institutions. The research findings contribute to a better understanding of how to modernize project management in the public sector and enable greater flexibility in decision-making. The study concludes that while APM remains challenging to implement in the public sector, it can be effective in specific types of projects, particularly those involving innovation, IT development, and policy experimentation. Additionally, a hybrid project management approach—combining agile principles with structured methodologies—could be a more feasible alternative to the predominantly Waterfall-oriented methods currently in use.

  Data: The rapid technological development and increasing complexity of the modern business environment necessitate more efficient and flexible project management methods. Agile Project Management (APM), known for its iterative and adaptive approach, is being increasingly adopted in the private sector, particularly in industries such as software development. However, its implementation in the public sector faces challenges due to rigid bureaucratic structures, regulatory frameworks, and traditional project management methodologies such as the Waterfall approach.This paper explores the potential application of agile project management in the public sector, with a particular focus on its advantages and limitations. Key challenges include aligning agile principles with regulatory requirements, transforming organizational culture, and adapting existing hierarchical structures. On the other hand, the potential benefits of APM in the public sector include increased transparency, more efficient risk management, faster adaptation to regulatory changes, and enhanced inclusivity of citizens and stakeholders through continuous feedback loops. Through an analysis of available research and practical examples, this paper explores under what conditions Agile Project Management (APM) can be successfully implemented in public institutions. The research findings contribute to a better understanding of how to modernize project management in the public sector and enable greater flexibility in decision-making.
