Summary
One of the latest approaches to improve the operations of business organizations is the Agile Project Management. It emerged in the software industry in 2001, but gradually entered other, non-software industries. However, the transfer of the approach to the public sector requires a specific transformation of the Agile methodology, insofar as the two sectors are radically different.
The purpose of this study is to present a methodology for agile project management in the public sector in Bulgaria and to define the conditions and barriers for its effective implementation in public sector organizations. The tasks of the research are the following: 1) scientific literature research and critical analysis related to the object of the study; 2) developing a methodology for agile project management in the public sector; 3) approbation of the methodology and definition of the conditions for its implementation.
The thesis of the research states that agile project management methodology can be adapted and integrated into public sector practice, although further efforts are needed to create organizational sensitivity to implement this approach. As a result of the study, a methodology for agile project management in the public sector in Bulgaria has been developed, which includes basic principles, specific roles and preconditions. Three stages of the methodology are formed, each with steps and iterations that are visualized through a process map. The conditions and barriers to the implementation of the methodology in public sector organizations are outlined.
