Abstract

This article examines the challenges and limitations of implementing Agile methodology in IT project management. The importance of flexible approaches for improving organizational adaptability, product quality, and effective client collaboration is highlighted. The authors analyze the key difficulties, including resistance to change at the organizational level, unclear requirements, challenges in resource and cost forecasting, and issues in measuring progress. Attention is also given to methods of overcoming these obstacles, such as staff training, engaging clients in early stages, and implementing progress visualization tools. The overall conclusion is that Agile can significantly enhance IT project management efficiency, but it requires careful adaptation to real business conditions and proper team preparation.
