Resumo

This study reports an empirical analysis of a hybrid management framework combining agile project management and stage-gate model implemented in a technology-driven project. The results indicate positive impact on the project and product development performance and suggest that combining these two approaches to balance stability with flexibility is a potential solution for managing innovation projects in high technology based companies. The evidence indicated critical aspects to be considered, such as the proper diagnosis of organizational factors and implementation of practices, and the alignment of agile project tools (e.g., visual boards) with traditional information systems used in the stage-gate process.
