INTEGRATING OF AGILE METHODOLOGIES IN PRODUCTION ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The integration of agile methodologies in project management proves to be an effective alternative to address the complex and dynamic challenges of Production Engineering. This study aims to investigate how the combination of agile methodologies and traditional approaches can optimise project management, enhancing efficiency, adaptability, and value delivery. The research employed a qualitative, bibliographic approach, using the deductive method to analyse key concepts and practices. The results showed that the integration of traditional methods, such as PMBOK, with agile methodologies, such as Scrum, Kanban, and Lean, offers a hybrid project management model that balances control and flexibility. The identified benefits include incremental delivery, continuous feedback, and risk reduction, which are essential for optimising production processes. It was also observed that this integration improves team communication, eliminates waste, and enhances adaptability to changes, which are critical characteristics in production environments. The application of hybrid methodologies delivers more robust results aligned with market demands, presenting itself as a strategic solution for the efficient management of resources and deadlines. It is concluded that adopting hybrid models represents an innovative and applicable approach to the realities of Production Engineering, enabling continuous process optimisation and the delivery of solutions aligned with industrial project needs.
