Abstract

Agile project management (APM) has recently emerged as a new and different way of managing projects. Some experts are already voicing the opinion that APM will become the project management of the 21st century. However, so far APM has not impacted project management as much as it should have. Its focus was mainly on IT projects. The literature on APM is still in its early stages, and more research needs to be done in areas other than software development. Therefore, the present paper provides a review of the existing literature in the agile project management domain. It compares traditional to modern project management, specifically APM, and discusses the influence of project complexity factors. Further, it reviews different frameworks of project success and critical success factors. Finally, it recommends APM dimensions irrespective of project types, which potentially could impact the success of a project.
