ВДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ МЕТОДИКИ УПРАВЛІННЯ ПРОЕКТАМИ В ХАРЧОВІЙ ПРОМИСЛОВОСТІ НА ОСНОВІ ПІДХОДІВ AGILE

Agile frameworks have proven their effectiveness and importance and have become a standard in the IT industry. Unfortunately, domestic business ignores this project management toolkit, ignoring its significant methodological and practical potential. This is primarily due to the great resistance to adopting a new philosophy and method at the top management level, inertia of thinking and lack of understanding of the scope of flexible technologies in the context of already established and working organizational and technological processes. The entrenched mechanistic bureaucracy as a traditional form of organizing business processes in the food industry is justified in a stable exogenous and endogenous environment. But in the face of shocks and uncertainty, this structure is inefficient and inappropriate. This is especially true for project activities, which by definition is an open system that involves changes and requires a more flexible approach, constructive interaction and involvement of participants at all levels. The aim of the research: is to substantiate the need to improve the project management methodology in the context of the functioning of food industry enterprises on the basis of Agile frameworks. The subject of the research: is the operational and project activities of food industry enterprises in a dynamic environment. The methods of the research: The theoretical basis of this study is the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on project management, operational management, organizational development and adaptive management systems. The study used a set of general scientific methods: an interdisciplinary approach; analysis and synthesis to generalize theoretical approaches to the use of Agile in management; a systematic approach to consider the food industry enterprise as a complex socio-economic system; comparative analysis to identify differences between traditional and Agile management methods. The hypothesis of the research: The implementation of Agile frameworks in the project management practices of food industry enterprises will enhance their adaptability, efficiency, and coordination of stakeholders in a dynamic and uncertain socio-economic environment, provided that organizational, cultural, and technological barriers are addressed through tailored adaptation of these frameworks. The statement of basic materials: The article presents the author's systematic generalization of the historical prerequisites for the emergence and evolution of the Agile methodology and the trends of its development in the modern changing environment. Based on the results of the analysis, the most common Agile frameworks are identified, their functional features and areas of appropriate application are highlighted. Special attention is paid to the current state of implementation of agile management approaches in food industry enterprises, identified typical problems and barriers that arise in the process of their integration into operational and project activities. Promising directions for further research have been identified, in particular in terms of adapting existing frameworks to the specifics of the food industry and overcoming structural and organizational barriers to implementation. The originality and practical significance of the research: The vector of possible implementation of Agile approaches at food industry enterprises in operational and project activities is determined. The studied experience of foreign and domestic examples of implementation of frameworks and Agile transformation processes at food industry enterprises allowed empirically substantiate the positive impact of agile approaches on increasing the adaptability of enterprises in conditions of fluctuation of socio-economic systems.
