Abstract

Present-day organizational work structure has evidenced the need for teams that manage projects and develop products to work in complex environments, with constant modifications and requests, using methodologies that help achieve the desired objectives with greater productivity, creating a competitive advantage. The aim of this article is to review the way in which organizations—focusing on innovation and adaptation—have moved from emphasizing steps and cycles to pursing the delivery of continuous value and leveraging the diversity of knowledge to achieve their goals. To this end, various theories and studies related to interdisciplinary and agile teams—two new ways of collaboration within organizations—have been reviewed by exploring their dimensions and specific characteristics. In addition, this article aims to highlight their importance to organizations to generate a positive impact on all fronts of business management. It concludes by exposing the potential synergy found in interdisciplinary and agile teams. It is possible to create teams that meet both qualities: the collaboration between disciplines and the quick and adaptable responsiveness of agile teams.
