Summary/Abstract: The Agile approach has gained significant attention in the context of modern organizational management, promising increased flexibility, improved team dynamics, and faster adaptation to changing market demands. This article examines the dual nature of Agile methodologies, highlighting both their advantages and the potential obstacles organizations may encounter during implementation. Agile promotes creativity, strengthens collaboration with stakeholders, and streamlines project execution. However, its adoption requires a deep cultural transformation, poses difficulties in scaling across large organizations, and can face pushback from teams accustomed to conventional management approaches. Drawing on real-world examples and research findings, this study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how Agile principles can be effectively applied to maximize benefits while addressing potential drawbacks. The analysis seeks to offer practical insights for managers and leaders navigating the complexities of Agile transformation in today's dynamic business environment.
