Abstract
W ostatnich latach metody tworzenia oprogramowania Agile (ASDM) stały się bardzo popularne i są stosowane w różnych dziedzinach gospodarki. W każdej z nowych metod stajemy w obliczu nowych sytuacji związanych z rozwojem oprogramowania czy zarządzania projektem. Każdy projekt powinien być traktowany w sposób indywidualny ze względu na zróżnicowanie warunków jego realizacji w odmiennych obszarach zastosowań. Podejście Agile (zwinne) może być korzystne, jeśli zastosujemy je w odpowiedniej sytuacji, ale może być nawet szkodliwe, jeśli będzie stosowane w nieodpowiednim środowisku. Szczególnie sektor zdrowia ma swoje specyficzne uwarunkowania, które prowadzą do pewnych ograniczeń w stosowaniu metod ASDM. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie ogólnych ograniczeń metod, a także tych, które odnoszą się do sektora zdrowia. (abstrakt oryginalny)

It became very popular in the last years to use Agile Software Development Methods (ASDM) to develop software in different areas of economy. Each new developed method aims to face new situations and solve current issues of problems for software development and project management. Each project has to be treated individually as the frame and environment conditions are different in every project and every industry. The agile approach can be useful if it is applied in the right situation, but affects the opposite in the wrong environment. Especially the health care sector has its own specifications which lead to the limitations of agile software development methods. This paper aims to show the limitations of agile software development methods in general and health care. (original abstract)
