In times of digital transformation and dynamic change in corporate environments, the importance of agile project management is growing. This further affects the demand on change management and its contribution to project success. We conduct interviews with project participants of an agile project to identify the associated need for adaptation of change management. Change management criteria have to be adjusted, particularly in areas of communication and stakeholder management and integration into agile project management methods. Personal communication, individual stakeholder management, and participation are starting points for adapting and integrating change management into agile project management.

Findings – There are three primary strategies project managers can use to successfully manage both engagement and stress in projects that involve significant change efforts.

In project management, strategic challenges are likely to be issues or contentions that can have a significant impact on project success. Often project success depends upon how timely and effective strategic implementations were undertaken. Nowadays, Project-based organization cultures are observing a seemingly ever-increasing pace of change and evolving with emerging new technologies. Digital technologies are impacting the dynamics of workplaces by rapidly changing competitive thinking amongst employees including their horizontal and vertical collaborations. After the recent unprecedented times during Covid 19 pandemic, the working methodologies to accommodate remote work cultures have been inculcated into the organizations. This has led to change management, accountability, and productivity determination as a more stern challenge for strategic developments. Additionally, keeping the team focussed and strategically aligned with the organizational mission and vision has become a vital project management aspect. The objective of this article is to explain the strategic challenges faced by project management in strategy implementation in project-based organizations and the possible solutions to the challenges. The ways of succeeding with these challenges effectively are to put more consideration on strategy implementation and develop new strategies to meet with future technology advancements. Moreover, Management should articulate their strategy of how to improve employee capabilities and skills in certain job positions coupled with new technology, which can enhance behavioural strategies for employees. The study will contribute further on new knowledge to the existing body of knowledge on strategy implementation challenges faced by Project management. The study also established that employees' resistance to change and lack of skills to some extent affected the implementation of strategies within the organizations. However, practicing proper change management in the organization can minimize the resistance. The knowledge gained through this research will thus be useful in improving the overall performance of Projects.

It is for this reason that today professionals must master the basic concepts of this work as disciplinary or professionalizing competence. The objective of the study lies mainly in compiling recent research, including the last three years, in relation to Agile Software Project Management, its current situation and its application in practice. The study shows the implementation of the methodology proposed by Kitchenham for the systematic literature review (RSL) analyzing 40 scientific publications, concluding that the agile management of software projects allows efficient and effective management with the application of a standard o priority methodology and with the unavoidable use of software tools of specific use for it.

Management Area

According to contemporary literature, stakeholder management (which is one of the identified clues of sustainable project management) plays a significant role in successfully delivering construction projects. However, the literature focuses on the issues of stakeholder management/analysis mainly for large projects, and the authors could not find any items related to small construction projects. The aim of the article is to present the results of research conducted in small construction companies in the context of stakeholder management of their projects against the background of project success and sustainability. Many researchers have concluded that stakeholder management is one of the success factors of projects (including construction projects). Based on the conducted quantitative research, the needs in the field of stakeholder management of small construction companies’ projects were determined and the approaches used in this area were diagnosed. The research results indicate a low level of maturity of small construction companies in managing project stakeholders, which is a surprising result considering the fact that the literature on the subject emphasizes the importance of taking care of the project stakeholder management area and associating it with the project’s success.
