Abstract

In the context of Industry 4.0, industrial engineering projects have become more complex, requiring project management approaches that are both flexible and responsive. This study explores the application of Agile methodologies, such as Scrum and Kanban, in three engineering projects conducted by a Brazilian automotive manufacturing firm. Using a qualitative case study methodology, the results reveal significant improvements in delivery speed, stakeholder engagement, risk mitigation, and team motivation. Adaptive practices proved effective in managing complex projects by enhancing transparency, collaboration, and responsiveness to change. These findings support the viability of Agile methods as an alternative to traditional frameworks, particularly in dynamic industrial settings.
