Abstract

In conditions of high uncertainty, project management becomes crucial. This article explores the differences between risks and uncertainty in project management, as well as risk management methods like forecasting, scenario modeling, and adaptive strategies. Special focus is given to flexible methodologies (Agile, Lean) to minimize uncertainty's impact. The article presents a comparison of traditional and modern risk management methods and offers recommendations for their integration. It is useful for both practitioners and researchers in project management and strategic planning.
