• Abstract:

  This study aims to identify the limitations that the characteristics of the public sector bring to the use of agile methodologies. Based on the construction of a framework dealing with the formalistic and bureaucratic characteristics of public administration and its limitations in the adoption of less structured management technologies, a semi-structured interview was carried out with specialists, technicians and managers, who had the opportunity to work with agile methodologies in the public and private sectors. private. The results obtained allowed us to signal the barriers inherent to the implementation of these methodologies and agile methods in the public sector, understood as a proxy for flexible planning models. The survey of the theoretical framework indicated that knowledge about the use of agile methods in the public sector is still relatively incipient, so this study hopes to contribute to broadening the understanding and limitations regarding its use.
