description The airplane design industry continually grapples with evolving complexities, demanding a paradigm shift in project management methodologies. This study delves into the efficacy of implementing Agile project management principles within this niche sector. By drawing on a comparative analysis, the research examines the traditional project management models prevalent in aerospace design and contrasts them with the Agile approach. The investigation incorporates case studies and a comprehensive literature review to ascertain the advantages and challenges, and potential adaptations of Agile methodologies within this highly regulated and safety-critical environment. Initial findings suggest that Agile methods present opportunities for increased adaptability, improved collaboration, and faster response to changing requirements, while simultaneously posing challenges in regulatory compliance and stakeholder integration. The study provides insights that aid in the unique demands of airplane design projects.
