IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY IN OVERCOMING DIGITAL LIBRARY TECHNICAL CHALLENGES USING AN AGILE METHOD APPROACH: LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Uncertainty is a challenge in managing current and future projects, requiring a more flexible and dynamic project management approach. Therefore, the Agile approach is considered as a potential solution to overcome this problem. Agile, which has been widely applied in various industrial sectors, is recognized as a practical and flexible project management method. However, in the context of digital libraries, technical challenges are considered as aspects that can directly affect the project budget and schedule. Although Agile is known for its ability to adapt quickly, uncontrolled change can potentially result in project delays and excessive costs. This article aims to investigate the challenges in this area and identify the best strategies to overcome them. Through systematic literature observations (SLR) including sources such as IEEE Explore, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, and ProQuest. Five categories of challenges and seven specific issues were identified. Twelve key strategies were also identified to overcome these challenges. It was found that the most significant challenges came from the Digitalization Process, Digitalization and Information Access, Project Backlog, Broad Coverage Requirements, and Culture & Behavior. These areas are considered key challenges due to their potential to cause delays and cost overruns in projects.
