To find answers to the research question, the following research methods were used: text mining and method of article text interpretation, formal-logical tools, and content analysis. The personal experience of the author of the article in project management of trade and production organizations allowed to identify two loops and give a description of the stages in the structure of iterations, called sprints, and taking a cycle of 21 working days. The advantages of Agile management in comparison with the traditional project approach in trade and production organizations have been singled out. The author's conclusion is formulated that in the conditions of turbulence the dynamically changing environment of organization functioning often forces to make adjustments at any stage and in any part of the project realization. In such a case, the linear construction of the project is subject to the risk of irrelevant results in the conditions of the need for cardinal changes, which is a prerequisite for the deep study and formation of adaptive mechanisms for the implementation of flexible approaches in project management.
