https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21339182Abstract
This scientific article analyzes the conceptual foundations, theoretical and methodological aspects, and practical
significance of implementing Agile management approaches in the public administration system. The accelerating processes of
globalization, digitalization, and socio-economic development require public administration bodies to establish a highly adaptive
management system capable of rapid decision-making and focused on meeting citizens’ needs. From this perspective, Agile management
principles are regarded as an important tool for improving the efficiency of public administration, enhancing management processes, and
fostering innovative governance mechanisms.
The study examines the possibilities of adapting the core components of the Agile philosophy—iterative development, teamwork,
rapid analysis, and continuous improvement—to the public sector. In addition, based on international experience, the paper explores the
priority areas for applying Agile methodologies in the digitalization of public services, project management, and strategic planning. The
research findings provide a scientific and practical basis for developing recommendations aimed at establishing a flexible governance
model, improving the quality of public services, and optimizing management processes within public administration bodies
