Sustainability and Agile Project Management

Sustainable project management is a new school of management thought and a growing trend yet there is a scarcity of research on the linkage between individual PM methodologies and sustainability in projects. This book fills a gap through the theoretical and empirical research on the implications of sustainability in project management and, in particular, agile project management.The book explores three main themes. Firstly, it identifies and assesses the validity of the application of the concepts of sustainable development in the family of agile methodological frameworks. Secondly, the research results are presented as an introduction to further in-depth research on the future relationships between sustainable development and agile project management. Thirdly, the book identifies the competencies that are needed to successful implement projects in the context of sustainable development.Sustainability and Agile Project Management will be of direct appeal to academics and scholars in the management sciences, including project management, corporate governance and human resource management.
