Agile Approach in Crisis Management – A Case Study of the Anti-outbreak Activities Preventing an Epidemic Crisis

The paper presents a case study which illustrates a possible application of Agile approach to crisis management. The proposal of such a merger was done in another paper, here its implementation to epidemic crisis management is described. It is shown that the nature of activities during the epidemic crisis suits the Agile philosophy fairly well and that the application of Agile frameworks to epidemic crisis management may substantially increase its efficiency, mainly due to the communication patterns which are required by the Agile approach.
