Abstract:

This thesis investigates the adoption and implementation of hybrid project management methodologies in IT projects, emphasizing their role in bridging the structured predictability of traditional Waterfall approaches with the flexibility of Agile frameworks. Hybrid methods address dynamic project requirements by integrating iterative development and long-term planning, enabling teams to achieve efficiency and adaptability. Through qualitative research, including interviews with IT professionals across multiple regions, the study identifies critical success factors, challenges, and best practices for using hybrid methodologies. Key findings reveal that hybrid models enhance stakeholder collaboration, optimize resource utilization, and improve project outcomes by balancing structured oversight with iterative execution. The research provides actionable recommendations for project managers to navigate complexities in IT projects, ensuring that hybrid approaches are tailored to organizational needs. Additionally, it highlights tools like Scrum and Kanban within Agile, combined with Waterfall for planning, demonstrating how the integration enhances decision-making and project success rates.
