The concept of agility is one of the major trends influencing project management discipline in the last decade. The purpose of this article is to provide a literature review of the academic literature on agility. Based on the study five categories of research streams were identified: papers focusing on agile software development, papers related to agile project management research, contributions to agility on the organization level, contributions to the application of hybrid approaches, papers discussing application of agile methods for innovation. The major conclusion is that: while there is a relatively large body of research devoted to the discussion of the agility concept on a project level, research on an organizational level is relatively scarce. In the context of the todays' dynamic environment, agile project management may contribute to increasing the flexibility of organizations as well as better customer orientation. Thus it can serve as a dynamic capability in building organizational ambidexterity and helping to cope with innovation demands. (original abstract)
