One of the current approaches to improving business organizations is agile project management. It emerged in the software industry in 2001, but gradually entered other, non-software industries. However, the transfer of the approach to the public sector requires a specific transformation of the agile methodology, insofar as the two sectors are radically different. The public sector is predetermined by regulations, insufficiently oriented towards service users, bureaucratized and hierarchically organized. All this is a barrier to agile project management that aims at providing project team autonomy, frequent and honest feedback to clients and other stakeholders, flexibility of project scope, etc. The aim of the article is to present a conception of a methodology for agile project management in the public sector and to discuss the issues related to its implementation in governmental organizations.
