Hybrid Project Management: A Literature Review

After a wave of traditional and agile project management, there has been a visible period of blending these archetypal approaches in their combination, represented by hybrid project management.Although it has received considerable attention in the literature and practice, this phenomenon needs more conceptualization, clarity for the whole approach, explicit anchoring, and clear boundaries.This paper aims to define the meaning of hybrid project management more firmly through a narrative review that analyses the delineation of existing research and critical synthesis.The output also clarifies the blurred boundary between the edges of hybrid and traditional or agile project management.The benefit of this anchoring is the cultivation of the project management scene and the attempt to limit vagueness and misuse of the term.
