Innovation projects are of high importance in organizations. Company’s success is determined by the results of innovation projects. In the article, the key characteristics of innovation projects are outlined, as well as their determinants. The traditional approach to managing innovation projects is discussed. It is argued that, nowadays, such an approach is insufficient as the organizational environment is turbulent and a high risk of failure is associated with innovation projects. Based on these considerations, the parallel application of the agile methods in innovation project management is proposed. The main characteristics of that new approach are presented, as are contrasts to traditional project management. The advantages of that new approach are shown in relation to attaining the business goals of the organization, higher flexibility in product change management and a more expeditious response to changes within the turbulent environment of the organization.
Firmy programistyczne tworzą jedną z typowych branż, w których stosuje się zarządzanie projektami i koncepcję pracy w zespołach, a funkcjonowanie tych zespołów stanowi dominującą formę organizacji pracy. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników badań dotyczących rozpoznania najczęstszych czynników ryzyka w zwinnie zarządzanych projektach IT. Badania przeprowadzono w formie ustrukturyzowanych wywiadów pogłębionych na próbie 111 kierowników projektów, liderów i członków zespołów projektowych. W omawianych badaniach zwrócono uwagę na proces wyłaniania czynników ryzyka oraz ich ocenę podczas planowania projektu, jak również na najczęściej pojawiające się czynniki ryzyka w projekcie zarządzanym zwinnie. Wyniki badań zestawiono z krytyczną analizą literatury przedmiotu oraz ze światowymi raportami dotyczącymi czynników sukcesu i niepowodzeń projektów IT. Przedstawiono również rekomendacje do przeprowadzenia dalszych badań dotyczących oceny czynników ryzyka, które wynikają bezpośrednio ze specyfiki projektów informatycznych, oraz stosowania zwinnego podejścia do zarządzania projektami zarówno w ujęciu organizacji pracy zespołu projektowego, jak i potencjalnych grup interesariuszy projektu.
