Abstract
Research projects are an integral part of each university’s activity. Recently many theorists and practitioners have started to consider how such projects should be managed (e.g. [13]). They analyse if it is better to use traditional project management (TPM) or agile project management (APM). In this paper we propose agile-similar approach based on project crashing and stakeholder analysis to manage research project. First we present a theoretical introduction. Then we present a model for the proposed approach and its Linear Programing (LP) implementation. Finally we present an example of using the proposed model and we formulate conclusions.
