The enhanced penetration of digital technologies into the business processes of enterprises creates the need to review the existing project management tools and models at the enterprise. Digital transformation has had a significant impact on the product development velocity, openness and accessibility of all company processes, and also increased the value of intermediate interactions between project stakeholders. Such a transition has demonstrated the limitations of traditional managerial approaches and created the need to search for new management tools that meet the digital economy requirements. The author proposes is to consider agile project management models as such tools. The aim of article is to analyze the existing models and methods of agile project management under digitalization of the economy. The hypothesis of article is the assumption that models of agile project management may act as a successful alternative to traditional approaches of project management in the digital economy. To verify the hypothesis such general scientific methods as analysis, synthesis and modeling were used. The paper studies the conceptual framework of digital economy management, concludes that the existing definitions are limited, and proposes an alternative definition. A special attention is given to the digital economy peculiarities, which act as a decision-making criteria on the possibility of using existing models of agile project management. The key point in the article is given to an analytical review of models and methods of agile project management. The paper presents characteristics of each frameworks from the standpoint of a number of criteria, which makes it possible to draw a conclusion about the possibility or limitations using its under new type of economic relations. The results can be used in practice in the process of choosing and implementing a project management model under digitalization of the industry. It is proposed to study the practical experience of applying agile project management models under digitalization of the economy as one of the promising directions for further research.


Adoption of Agile methodologies in IT organizations has revolutionized software development. It has improved speed of development, quality of final product, customer satisfaction, project control and reduced risk and wastage. Agile methodology is however not just a process but it is a philosophy that has a deep impact on the behavior and mindset of employees.
