Abstract: The purpose of the recearch is to study the current management practices of distributed teams working on IT projects and systematize the methodological aspects of project management in the field of information technology and identify the methods most appropriate for use in Ukraine. It is determined that the methodology of management of the IT project is formed under the influence of a philosophical approach to the creation of an information product, based on an understanding of the specifics of such activities as programming, and also based on the tools for managing business processes and personnel. A vision of IT management methodology has been formed as a system for applying certain principles and rules of work on projects that are decisive for the processes of work of members of the IT product development team. It was found that the corresponding methodology is the foundation on which heterogeneous methods are built, containing practical instructions on the order of interaction of all team members at different stages of the IT product development process. The most used among outsourcing IT companies methodologies for managing IT projects have been identified, a detailed analysis of their features has been carried out and the reasons explaining the prevalence of the Agile methodology over others have been identified. It is concluded that it is the high adaptability of this methodology to the changes that arise during the implementation of the project that makes it possible for domestic outsourcing IT companies to use it. The Agile methodology is the basis for flexible IT design techniques, particularly Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming. The first one, Scrum identified to be the most useful for Ukrainian outsourcing IT companies as this technique has characteristics that best meet the requirements of domestic designers involved in the global processes of the IT industry – due to its emphasising on constant quality check. It has also been determined that industry and country peculiarities of IT projects influence the choice and transformation of service-oriented business models of IT companies.
