В статье рассматривается роль методологий Agile и Waterfall в управлении ИТ-проектами нефтегазового сектора Казахстана.</p><p>Цель статьи – проанализировать применение методологий Agile и Waterfall в управлении ИТ-проектами нефтегазового сектора Казахстана, выявить их преимущества и ограничения в условиях цифровизации и обосновать целесообразность внедрения адаптированных гибридных моделей управления проектами. Исследование основано на комплексном обзоре литературы, который позволил выявить теоретические основы, практическое применение и ограничения обеих методологий, а также их потенциал для интеграции в локальном контексте. Методология исследования включает контент-анализ, сравнительную оценку и синтез международных и казахстанских источников, что обеспечивает сбалансированное рассмотрение мировых лучших практик и региональной специфики. Результаты показывают, что методология Agile обеспечивает гибкость, итеративную поставку ценности и усиленное взаимодействие участников, тогда как Waterfall гарантирует соответствие, предсказуемость и ответственность. Несмотря на доминирование Waterfall в Казахстане из-за регуляторных и организационных традиций, постепенное внедрение гибридных моделей открывает новые возможности для повышения эффективности проектов. В заключении статьи утверждается, что адаптированная гибридная модель может сыграть ключевую роль в поддержке цифровой трансформации энергетического сектора Казахстана при соблюдении международных и национальных стандартов.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The transformation of project management approaches in the oil and gas industry is becoming increasingly crucial amid digitalization and the global transition to sustainable energy. This article examines the role of Agile and Waterfall methodologies in managing IT projects within Kazakhstan’s oil and gas sector. The purpose of the article is to analyze the application of Agile and Waterfall methodologies in the management of IT projects in the oil and gas sector of Kazakhstan, to identify their advantages and limitations in the context of digitalization and to substantiate the feasibility of implementing adapted hybrid project management models. The study is based on a comprehensive literature review, which enabled the identification of theoretical foundations, practical applications, and limitations of both methodologies, as well as their potential for integration in the local context. The research methodology is grounded in content analysis, comparative evaluation, and synthesis of international and Kazakhstani sources, allowing for a balanced consideration of global best practices and regional specificities. The findings demonstrate that Agile methodologies provide flexibility, iterative value delivery, and enhanced collaboration, while Waterfall ensures compliance, predictability, and accountability. Despite Waterfall's dominance in Kazakhstan due to regulatory and organizational traditions, the gradual introduction of hybrid models offers new opportunities to improve project outcomes. The article concludes that a tailored hybrid framework could play a pivotal role in supporting Kazakhstan’s digital transformation in the energy sector while ensuring compliance with international and national standards.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Agile</kwd><kwd>Waterfall</kwd><kwd>управление проектами</kwd><kwd>ИТ-проекты</kwd><kwd>нефтегаз</kwd><kwd>Казахстан</kwd><kwd>гибридные модели</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Agile</kwd><kwd>Waterfall</kwd><kwd>Project management</kwd><kwd>IT projects</kwd><kwd>Oil and gas</kwd><kwd>Kazakhstan</kwd><kwd>Hybrid models</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ijomah W., Etim I., Okoro C.
