dc.description.abstract | In recent years, extreme weather events and natural disasters caused by global climate change have become a major issue that needs to be solved urgently. Therefore, disaster management is not only related to national security and people′s lives and property, but also involves the overall development of society, economy and environment. This study aims to explore the application of agile project management strategies in the preparation phase of disaster management, so as to provide guidance for the public sector to implement this strategies.The research methodology covers different perspectives, from literature discussions, case studies to in-depth interviews with experts, to ensure that the research is full of depth and breadth. Firstly, based on the changes in the trend of global disasters in recent years, this paper cites the experience of Japan′s Hagibis Typhoon, Hurricane Katrina in the United States, and Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan, and then discusses and compares agile project management with traditional waterfall project management, so as to reveal the practice of agile methods in disaster management.It is noteworthy that when the public sector introduces agile project management, it may face many challenges, including the impact of bureaucratic culture and organizational change, etc., and a feasible approach is proposed by referring to the experience of the governments of the United Kingdom and the United States in transforming agile project management.
This study also examines the selection of appropriate agile coaches to help organizations and project teams overcome obstacles in the transformation process and ensure that disaster management and preparedness goals are successfully achieved. Finally, the conclusions and suggestions of the study are put forward to deal with the changing disaster management environment with a new management and thinking framework, which can be used as a reference for the public sector in the practical operation of disaster preparedness, and it is hoped that the efficiency of public sector disaster management will be improved and more active, rapid and effective disaster preparedness can be achieved under the agile framework. Therefore, this research not only introduces new thinking in the field of disaster management, but also provides valuable practical suggestions, which has considerable academic and practical value. | en_US |
