Agile Project Management is a topic that has become popular both in business and academia, since the publication of the Agile Manifesto - a historic landmark in this subject. In the next 20 years, there was a relevant scientific production that must be analyzed to provoke reflection about the knowledge built up in this period. In this sense, this study aims to analyze the relevant scientific literature on Agile Project Management through a systematic review and a bibliometric analysis of articles published in scientific journals with Digital Object Identifier, in English, from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, from 2001 to 2021. The research results enable us to gain insights into the characteristics of this knowledge domain, regarding its volume and evolutionary trend, main contributors (i.e. scientific journals, authors, and their affiliations), main studies, methods used, and its central thematic axes.

The aim of this paper is to present several selected management concepts that support self-organizing teams. The chosen concepts are agile project management, teal organization, holacracy and sociocracy, and the paper places emphasis on the organizational factors in each of presented concept. Four groups of organizational factors were extracted: culture, structure, management and processes. The value of this paper is that it is a comparison of the extracted groups in the selected concepts. The outcome of this work was the discovery that the organizational culture in each of the concepts was very similar, yet, the structure supporting self-organizing teams may vary in effect, starting from the project, to the whole organization. Still, the management and processes appeared to be very similar in the teal organization, holacracy and sociocracy. Moreover, agile project management was more similar to traditional organizations. The paper emphasizes the need for further research, in particular, in companies which have adopted the presented concepts.

The article describes the role of the Scrum Master as a servant leader in the context of managing virtual project teams. The basics of the Scrum methodology were discussed, with focus on the role of Scrum Master in the Scrum team. The definition and concepts of service leadership were presented. Based on the analyzes, factors influence on effective performing the role of Scrum Master as a servant leader of a virtual project team were presented. The analysis allows to state that the scope of Scrum Master's duties comes down to the three most important items: increasing the effectiveness of project teams by protecting them against work disruptions, educating project teams, and other company members about the work principles promoted by Scrum, and motivating the team to work in self-organizing way. All these actions in case of cooperation with virtual teams are more demanding for the Scrum Master and require highly developed soft skills from him.

W artykule przedstawiono rolę Scrum Mastera jako służebnego przywódcy wirtualnych zespołów projektowych realizujących projekty informatyczne. Omówiono podstawy metodyki Scrum, w tym w szczególności rolę Scrum Mastera w Zespole Scrumowym. Zaprezentowano definicję i koncepcje przywództwa służebnego. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz przedstawiono czynniki wpływające na skuteczne pełnienie roli Scrum Mastera w środowisku wirtualnym. Dokonana analiza pozwala na stwierdzenie, że zakres obowiązków Scrum Mastera sprowadza się do trzech najważniejszych obszarów: zwiększania efektywności zespołów projektowych poprzez ich ochronę przed zaburzeniami pracy, edukacji zespołów projektowych i pozostałych członków przedsiębiorstwa o zasadach pracy propagowanych przez Scrum oraz motywowania zespołu do pracy w sposób samoorganizujący się. Wszystkie te działania w przypadku współpracy z zespołami wirtualnymi są bardziej wymagające dla Scrum Mastera i wymagają od niego wysoko rozwiniętych kompetencji miękkich.

The aim of this paper is to present the quantitative perspective of the agile transformation processes in IT organisations. The phenomenon of agile transformation becomes a complex challenge for an IT organisation since it has not been analysed in detail so far. There is no research on the readiness of IT organisations to realise agile transformation processes. Such processes also prove to have uncontrolled character. Therefore, to minimise the risk of failure referring to the realisation of transformation processes, it is necessary to monitor them. It is also necessary to identify and analyse such processes to ensure their continuous character.

Agile methods for project management are often treated as methods for mitigating risk. However, there is disagreement as to whether explicit methods of risk management should be used in projects which are executed according to Agile methodology or is the implicit risk management built into Agile methodologies sufficient. To contribute to the discussion, an attempt has been made to identify risks that are either caused by the introduction of an Agile methodology to a project or become more significant when such methodology is in use. If such risks exist, this would be evidence that explicit risk management is required, even in the case of Agile methodologies. The results of this research may be useful for any organization that is in the process of selecting a methodology for project management and is considering Agile methodologies.
