Abstract: Although previous research works have shown interest in combining agile methodologies with plan-driven project management, no defined hybrid models have been suggested for managing complex projects. Teams lack structured processes that help them integrate agile principles and practices in their plan-driven environment. Given this focus, our paper aims at filling this gap by proposing hybrid models that assists teams in managing complex projects. A qualitative research approach has been adopted. Eighteen semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data analysis highlights three major hybrid models. For each hybrid model, the associated benefits, challenges and success factors were analysed and explained.
