Abstract

Aligning the project management approach to a particular project is considered to be essential for project success. Based on the literature review, in this research, the project management approach is analyzed through differentiation between agile and traditional approaches within the specific managerial aspects. This research aimed to contrast these two project management approaches and explore their impact on different project success dimensions. The research was conducted on a sample of 227 project management professionals worldwide, using the PLS-SEM method. Research results denounced that, in most cases, the traditional approach is applied in project initiation and planning. It has proven to provide higher-level od project success, while, within all other managerial aspects considered in this research, they gravitate more towards the agile approach. By combining agile and traditional approaches, organizations can take advantage of some benefits of agile development without abandoning the stability provided by a traditional approach. The study is relevant for project management practitioners tailoring down the success-oriented project management approach and developing project management contingency theory for academics.

探索项目管理方法与项目成功维度之间的联系:一种结构模型方法

将项目管理方法与特定项目结合起来被认为是项目成功的关键。在文献综述的基础上，本研究通过对敏捷方法和传统方法在具体管理方面的区别来分析项目管理方法。本研究旨在对比这两种项目管理方法，并探讨它们对不同项目成功维度的影响。该研究采用PLS-SEM方法，对全球227名项目管理专业人员进行了抽样调查。研究结果表明，在大多数情况下，传统方法被应用于项目启动和规划。它已经被证明可以提供更高层次的项目成功，然而，在本研究中考虑的所有其他管理方面，它们更倾向于敏捷方法。通过结合敏捷和传统方法，组织可以利用敏捷开发的一些好处，而不会放弃传统方法提供的稳定性。该研究对项目管理从业者裁剪成功导向的项目管理方法以及为学术界发展项目管理权变理论具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Advances in Production Engineering & Management (APEM journal) is an interdisciplinary international academic journal published quarterly. The main goal of the APEM journal is to present original, high quality, theoretical and application-oriented research developments in all areas of production engineering and production management to a broad audience of academics and practitioners. In order to bridge the gap between theory and practice, applications based on advanced theory and case studies are particularly welcome. For theoretical papers, their originality and research contributions are the main factors in the evaluation process. General approaches, formalisms, algorithms or techniques should be illustrated with significant applications that demonstrate their applicability to real-world problems. Please note the APEM journal is not intended especially for studying problems in the finance, economics, business, and bank sectors even though the methodology in the paper is quality/project management oriented. Therefore, the papers should include a substantial level of engineering issues in the field of manufacturing engineering.
