This review explores the application and impact of Agile methodologies in project management. Agile, originally developed for software projects, has been widely adopted across industries due to its flexibility, adaptability, and customer-centric approach. The review synthesizes current knowledge on Agile, highlighting its evolution, principles, and diverse applications. It categorizes Agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, and Lean, examining their unique features and contexts. Key findings indicate that Agile significantly enhances project performance, particularly in dynamic environments, by fostering collaboration, continuous improvement, and customer satisfaction. However, challenges like resistance to change, lack of skilled personnel, and scalability issues are also identified. The review concludes that successful Agile implementation requires cultural change, training, and a nuanced understanding of when and how to apply these methodologies. Future research should explore Agile integration with traditional methods and its impact on organizational performance. Keywords: Agile Methodologies, Project Management, Industry Adaptation, Scalability, Technological Advancements, Global Economic Shifts, Artificial Intelligence (AI). The review discusses the significance of Agile in modern project management, emphasizing its adaptability, customer focus, and success rate compared to traditional methods. It highlights Agile's ability to accommodate change, promote collaboration, and deliver value incrementally. The review also examines the growing importance of Agile in various industries, including construction, software, and IT, demonstrating its versatility. The purpose of the review is to critically examine Agile's evolution, application, and impact in project management. It explores the origins of Agile, compares it with traditional methods, and investigates practical implementation challenges. The review also assesses the future sustainability of Agile, considering digital transformation and changing market demands. The scope includes the historical evolution of Agile, comparative analysis with traditional methods, implementation in diverse industries, and challenges in adoption. The methodology involves systematic literature review, using academic databases and grey literature. The review discusses various Agile methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and Lean, highlighting their unique features and applications. It also compares Agile with traditional methodologies, emphasizing their differences, advantages, and limitations. Empirical studies show that Agile improves project outcomes, stakeholder satisfaction, and adaptability. Best practices for Agile implementation include systematic tool selection, balanced quality, cost, and schedule considerations, and stakeholder involvement. Leadership and organizational culture play crucial roles in Agile adoption, influencing its success. The review concludes that Agile is a flexible, iterative, and collaborative approach, essential for modern project management.This review explores the application and impact of Agile methodologies in project management.
