business agility, digital transformation projects, project management, digital technologiesAbstract
Objective of the study: to present the elements and practices of Digital Transformation project management capable of supporting the Business Agility process in organizations.
Methodology: Systematic Literature Review of 112 articles in the academic databases Scopus and Web of Science.
Originality/relevance: transitioning from traditional to digital means can take organizations to a new level of efficiency, with the incorporation of Business Agility, supported by the management of Digital Transformation projects.
Main results: the results identified five categories that contribute to the relationship between Digital Transformation projects and Business Agility: Operational Impact, Digital Technologies, Organizational Agility, Project Management, and Business Processes.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: the results obtained from the systematic literature review confronted with empirical research will allow to advance the discussions on Digital Transformation and Business Agility.
Contributions to society: organizations mainly seek to position employees as protagonists of the change arising from Digital Transformation and Business Agility. Another practical contribution is the relevance of leadership in managing Digital Transformation projects, which must be close and participative with the project teams.
