Agile Project Management as a Multi-Level Resilience Antecedent

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to introduce evidence that an agile approach to project management could be a source of resilience at the individual, team and organisational levels in the current projectified environment. This article is designed as a review paper. The authors first discuss the trends and recent findings in projectification and then in resilience. In the continuation, the authors highlight the connections between these areas, which to date have not been widely discussed in existing literature, as well as where agile project management could be of great importance. Dependencies between projectification, resilience and agile project management are evident. Agile project management could be considered as an antecedent for multi-level resilience, however, empirical evidence supporting this claim does not yet exist, therefore the issue should be further investigated. Enough evidence has been collected to understand that it would be worth further investigating the dependencies between these concepts, as there is an opportunity to fill some gaps in existing academic knowledge and also create a hands-on practical contribution for contemporary organisations
