Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the comparison of traditional and agile project management methods with the aim of examining the possibility of applying agile methodologies in the service sector, notwithstanding the fact that they are most used in projects in the IT sector. Based on the fundamental characteristics of the traditional PMI, IPMA and PRINCE2 methodologies, as well as on the specifics of the agile approach, a comparative analysis of theoretical aspects of traditional and agile methodologies is made, with the emphasis on Scrum, thus a comparison is made between applications of both types of methodologies on examples of projects in the service sector. The result of the comparative analysis is the final assessment of the possibility of applying agile methods in projects in the service sector, which serves to determine the elements of traditional methodologies which can be improved by the use of agile methodologies.
