Abstract
Project management (PM) landscaping is continually changing in the IT industry. Working with the small teams and often with the limited budgets, while facing frequent changes in the business requirements, project managers are under continuous pressure to deliver fast turnarounds. Following the demands of the IT project management, leaders in this industry are optimizing and adopting different and new more effective styles and strategies. This paper proposes a new hybrid way of managing IT projects, flexibly combining the traditional and the Agile method. Also, it investigates what is the necessary organizational transition in an IT company, required before converting from the traditional to the proposed new hybrid method.
