| Abstract | Agilan pristup projektnom menadžmentu, iako postoji sada već preko dva desetljeća, nekim poduzećima predstavlja novinu i izazov te se ponekad boje odlučiti na implementaciju istog. Iako je tradicionalni pristup, posebice vodopadni, postao neka ustaljena praksa u poduzećima, pokazalo se kako često nije najbolje rješenje za upravljanje projektima. Sve češće se u praksi može vidjeti kako lako dolazi do promjena preferencija i želja krajnjih korisnika, kao i promjena samog okruženja provedbe projekta. Agilan pristup, kako mu i samo ime govori, se pokazao kao prilagodljiviji, brži i lakši način upravljanja projektima kada se govori o odgovoru na promjene i izazove kroz samu provedbu projekta uz, naravno, minimalne troškove. Najčešće poduzeća IT industrije prva prelaze na agilan način, dijelom i jer je zamišljen kao lakši i brži pristup kreiranja softvera. U ovom radu je, kroz intervju kao glavnu metodu prikupljanja podataka, istraženo s kojim su se izazovima poduzeća susretala prilikom tranzicije s tradicionalnog na agilan način. Također su predstavljeni i načini kako su odgovorila na te izazove, što može biti velika pomoć onim poduzećima koja se tek odlučuju za tranziciju. Kao zaključak na sami rad, može se vidjeti kako je ključ uspješnog vođenja agilnog pristupa što redovitija i konkretnija komunikacija kao i uzajamno razumijevanje developera, voditelja i klijenata. |
| Abstract (english) | An agile approach to project management, although it has been around for over two decades, is a newness and a challenge for some companies, and they are sometimes afraid to decide on its implementation. Although the traditional approach, especially the waterfall approach, has become an established practice in companies, it has been shown that it is often not the best solution for project management. More and more often, in practice, it can be seen how easily the preferences and wishes of the end users change, as well as changes in the project implementation environment itself. The agile approach, as its name suggests, has proven to be a more adaptable, faster, and easier way of managing projects when it comes to responding to changes and challenges through the very implementation of the project with, of course, minimal costs. Most often, companies in the IT industry are the first to switch to the agile way, partly because it was conceived as an easier and faster approach to software creation. In this paper, through interviews as the main method of data collection, it was investigated what challenges companies encountered during the transition from a traditional to an agile way. The ways in which they responded to these challenges are also presented, which can be of great help to those companies that are just deciding to transition. As a conclusion to the work itself, the key to successful management of an agile approach is as regular and concrete communication as possible, as well as mutual understanding between developers, managers, and clients. |
