“…A young specialist, an education manager who received basic knowledge after graduation, requires a lot of time in order not only to be ready for professional self-fulfilment, but also to adapt to the conditions of professional activity in a particular place [11]. The existing system of vocational training for students receiving a speciality in higher education institutions pays the greatest attention to vocational training, where knowledge, abilities and, to some extent, skills are a criterion for the success of student learning and the effectiveness of their professional training, while a young specialist in the process of labour activity faces except for professional problems (the level of his knowledge, skills), problems of a psychological and social nature [12]. There is a need to consider the training process as a complex process, one of the important components of which is professional selffulfilment [8].…”

Objective: The purpose of the study is the theoretical substantiation and testing of the methodological apparatus for determining the possibility of self-improvement and maintaining the level of personal psychological attitudes for social and professional interaction.Background: The individual is perceived in the social environment as complex integrity having specific sets of its own properties and definitions. The implementation of professional standards, the creation of new organizational and psychological mechanisms in society puts forward new requirements for personality. Method:The article presents a model for the formation of a qualitative perception of the possibilities of correcting motives and personality traits, which impact on the social interaction of a person.Results: Analysis of the obtained results allowed to admit the effectiveness of authors' experimental methodology. The authors show that the structural support for the development of the psychological characteristics of addictive individuals should be based on an understanding of the boundaries of social and professional interaction and the determination of the possibilities for its adjustment. Conclusion:The authors presented a model for the formation of a qualitative perception of the possibilities of correcting motives and personality traits. This, in turn, forms the possibility of defining a complex that contributes to additional social interaction between the components of the social structure.

“…Insights from this systematic literature review on APM suggest that the company's decision to adopt APM is usually consistent with the values and principles of agile [4]. Often, the need to move to agile is driven by context-related factors such as responding to a frequently changing environment [24] and the dynamic product requirements that prevail in small-tomedium scale enterprises (SME) [19], [25]. Additionally, the fluidity of product definitionswhich are often tailored to specific settings regardless of whether agility is implemented in a software development environment [20], engineering [21], [22], or even the previously mentioned SMEs [19] makes APM attractive to practitioners.…”

With an emphasis on adaptive processes that respond to uncertainties, the Agile Project Management (APM) approach has evolved the way projects are managed beyond the traditional processes. This study aims to investigate recent literature on APM to discover the adoption drivers and the critical success factors that influence APM success and provide recommendations for the development of APM best practices. The study conducted a literature search on academic databases ABI/Inform, ACM Digital Library, EBSCO Host, and IEEE Xplore with keywords 'agile' and 'project management' for peer-reviewed English language articles published between January 2015 and January 2020 to discover insights regarding adoption drivers and critical success factors. Eleven (11) drivers of adoption and thirteen (13) critical success factors related to the project dimensions of Project, Team, and Culture were discovered. The findings of this study outline the current state of APM adoption and use and is relevant to project management practitioners and researchers.

“…The existing system of vocational training for students receiving a speciality in higher education institutions pays the greatest attention to vocational training, where knowledge, abilities and students' high level of skills are necessary to receive skills in general, which is not correct since any higher education institution should offer basic skills to students and not expect them to already have the skills/knowledge, while a young specialist in the process of labour activity faces except for professional problems (the level of his knowledge, skills), problems of a psychological and social nature (Macheridis, 2018;Liubaretz, 2019). The preparation of the future education manager for professional self-realisation should be based on the processes of transformation and adaptation to international requirements and national expectations, in the context of the transformation of the entire education system (Wei & Liu, 2015).…”

Context: A significant part of future specialists receive only practical skills without formal practical exam situation. In this regard, there is a need to train a manager who can adapt and be ready to carry out his/her activities in a specific profile interaction. The aim of the experimental study was to develop and test the advanced working hypothesis about the possibility of effective formation of readiness for future self-realisation of future education managers.Approach: The work uses mathematical methods for testing the hypothesis of testing the readiness of education managers with verification of competency type.Findings: The novelty of the study is determined by what the authors are considering "the possibility of training a manager in accordance" including not only the standards for the provision of educational services to the population, but also the possibility of introducing world-class training standards. The authors show that the basis for such a development may be the readiness to work in a globalised environment. The dynamics of changes in the indicators of the levels of readiness for professional self-realization of students studying in the control and experimental groups from the first to the fourth year were compiled and recorded. The methodology of vocational training of students for the purpose of their self-realisation during training has been specified. The practical significance of the study is determined by the fact that integration with the global educational environment should be based on international standards for the provision of educational services. Conclusion: The results of this research can be useful and interesting to international readers, as the parameters of educational and methodological support have been developed and tested, which contains a set of situational exercises to form readiness for professional self-realisation for future education managers. Also, the conducted analysis indicated serious problems with the employment of university graduates both in the Republic of Kazakhstan and in the Republic of Lithuania.
