Towards a More Agile Public Policy Making

This article aims at discussing the values and principles of the so called AGILE management (AGILE methodologies) in the context of public policy making . In particular, an effort is put into answering the question on the possibility of including the AGILE values and principles in the conduct of policy making . Known from the IT sector, AGILE methodologies have been lately drawing more attention of public policy makers in the world . This approach seems to have a big advantage over hitherto applied modes of public operation, as it allows for a quicker adaptation of policies to changes of the environment . At the same time however, it seems to pose much bigger challenges on policy making bodies, as it requires a strong capacity for regulating diversity throughout the policy making processes in real time .
