Summary
The purpose of the paper is to analyze and critically evaluate the challenges facing the organizational migration from traditional to agile project management and to propose an organizational framework with conditions for a more successful transformation to Agile in the IT sector. The research thesis states that migrating from traditional to agile project management is a complex organizational innovation that may face multiple barriers and challenges. Overcoming these barriers requires creating appropriate conditions that are relevant to the identified weaknesses and at the same time enforced not in a bureaucratic but flexible way.

The tasks of the study are: 1) Clarifying the evolution in project management and key factors and challenges in the transformation from traditional to agile project management; 2) Empirical study of the critical factors for a successful transformation towards agile project management; 3) Formulation of proposals for the necessary conditions and organizational inter-ventions to support the process of migrating to the agile approach. An empirical study was conducted and the factors and challenges in the process of moving to Agile were investigated among respondents from different companies (n=98). On the basis of the findings, key conditions for organizational interventions to be followed to implement an efficient migration to an Agile have been identified.
