Abstract
Modern educational institutions increasingly rely on effective project management approaches to implement technological innovations, curriculum reforms, and digital learning platforms. This article analyzes two major project management methodologies—traditional and agile—within the context of educational systems. The study highlights the principles, advantages, and limitations of both models while providing practical examples from educational projects such as curriculum development, digital platforms, and institutional reforms. A comparative analysis demonstrates that while traditional approaches provide stability and structure, agile methods offer flexibility and adaptability for dynamic educational environments. The article concludes that a hybrid approach combining both methodologies may be the most effective strategy for modern education systems.
