Abstract

Agile management is a contemporary approach that prioritizes flexibility, collaboration, and customer satisfaction in managing projects, teams, and organizations. It originated from the Agile Manifesto created in 2001 by software developers seeking alternatives to traditional methodologies. Agile principles have since been extended to various management contexts, acknowledging the need for adaptability and innovation in today's rapidly changing and complex business environment. This article explores the foundations and frameworks of agile management, emphasizing its focus on individuals, responsiveness to change, frequent delivery of working solutions, customer collaboration, and embracing change as a competitive advantage. It discusses the widespread adoption of agile management and its benefits, including improved value delivery, risk reduction, and enhanced team collaboration. The article concludes by outlining the forthcoming chapters' content, which provides a detailed examination of agile management principles, practical examples of their application, and recommendations for successful implementation.

Keywords: agile manifesto, software development, traditional management, risk reduction, team collaboration
