Abstract:
This article examines modern approaches to IT project management and the need for modifying existing methodologies based on specific project characteristics and team composition. It emphasizes that universal standards, such as PMBOK, often require adaptation to real-world development conditions and organizational structures. The article analyzes the transition from universal project management methodologies toward agile methodologies tailored to unique project conditions. Key factors for methodology adaptation include the project's scope and specifics, including requirements uncertainty and technological complexity, as well as team management aspects including composition, maturity, and established organizational practices. Particular attention is paid to the role of the project manager (PM) in planning, communications, risk management, and customer interaction. The article proposes directions for expanding management methodologies through additional processes, tools, and types of project support.
