Examining the competences needed for an agile approach in different generations

Resilience, managing change appropriately and effectively, is crucial for both individuals and organisations in today’s world. This is one of the main reasons why the agile approach, which originated in the world of software development, is becoming more and more widespread, as it is precisely the ability to adapt to change that is one of its main strengths. However, the agility of organisations and the agile execution of projects is unthinkable without the agility of individuals, which is the result of a combination of different attributes, competences, skills and abilities. These may vary from generation to generation. The aim of our research is to answer the question of what are the most important human attributes for an agile approach and how these attributes vary between generations.
