Abstract

Glavne karakteristike suvremenog doba brojne su inovacije te ubrzan razvoj tehnološke industrije. Organizacije koje djeluju u takvom okruženju stoga moraju biti pripremljene na učestale promjene dinamičnog karaktera kako bi zadržale svoju relevantnost. Suprotno zastarjelom tradicionalnom pristupu upravljanja projektima koji organizacijama nije pružao dovoljnu potporu u nošenju s navedenim izazovima današnjeg tržišta, javlja se agilan pristup kojeg karakterizira sposobnost prilagodbe i pravovremenog reagiranja na promjene. S obzirom na to da jedno od glavnih agilnih načela naglašava da bi ljudi te njihova međusobna interakcija i suradnja trebali biti iznad procesa, potrebno je razmotriti djelovanje odjela za ljudske potencijale u agilnim projektnim organizacijama. Kao što je agilno upravljanje preuzelo tradicionalno, tako su ljudi i njihove kompetencije u drugi plan stavili nekadašnje najvažnije ekonomske resurse: rad i kapital. Bez obzira na tehnologiju i kapital, većina suvremenih organizacija neće biti uspješna ako nema adekvatan način upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima. Početni koraci u tom procesu su planiranje i pribavljanje ljudskih potencijala, čime se omogućava pronalazak proaktivnih i motiviranih pojedinaca. Glavni cilj ovog rada bio je kroz detaljno empirijsko istraživanje ispitati procese planiranja i pribavljanja ljudskih potencijala u agilnim projektnim organizacijama. Iz tog razloga, provedeno je istraživanje putem dubinskih intervjua sa sedam stručnjaka ljudskih potencijala iz organizacija koje koriste agilan pristup upravljanja projektima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Rezultati istraživanja potvrđuju da teorijska načela agilnog pristupa kao što su fleksibilnost, prilagodljivost, spremnost na brze promjene i proaktivno privlačenje talenata, imaju značajnu primjenu u procesima planiranja i pribavljanja ljudskih potencijala u agilnim projektnim timovima. Osim toga, rezultati pokazuju da uspješne organizacije uistinu integriraju agilna načela u svoje procese, čime osiguravaju učinkovitu reakciju na dinamične promjene agilnog okruženja.

Abstract (english)

The main characteristics of the modern era include numerous innovations and the accelerated development of the technological industry. Organizations operating in such an environment must therefore be prepared for frequent dynamic changes to maintain their relevance. In contrast to the outdated traditional approach to project management, which did not provide sufficient support for organizations in dealing with today's market challenges, an agile approach has emerged, characterized by the ability to adapt and respond promptly to changes. Given that one of the key agile principles emphasizes that individuals and their interactions and collaboration should take precedence over processes, it is essential to consider the functioning of human resources departments in agile project organizations. Just as agile management has supplanted traditional methods, people and their competencies have taken precedence over what were once the most important economic resources: labor and capital. Regardless of technology and capital, most modern organizations will not succeed without an adequate approach to managing human resources. The initial steps in this process are planning and acquiring human resources, which facilitate the identification of proactive and motivated individuals. The main goal of this paper was to examine, through detailed empirical research, the processes of human resource planning and acquisition in agile project organizations. For this reason, a study was conducted through in-depth interviews with seven human resources experts from organizations that employ an agile project management in Croatia. The results of the research confirm that the theoretical principles of the agile approach, such as flexibility, adaptability, readiness for rapid changes, and proactive talent acquisition have significant applications in the processes of planning and acquiring human resources within agile project teams. Furthermore, the results indicate that successful organizations genuinely integrate agile principles into their processes, ensuring an effective response to the dynamic changes of the agile environment.
