28th International Congress on project Management "Project Management in the Digital Decade"

The paper explores how decentralized music production is transforming creative and organizational practices in the music industry by integrating agile project management principles and interactive elements of collective intelligence. Decentralized production, enabled by digital platforms, cloud-based tools, and communication tools, allows geographically dispersed musicians and producers to collaborate horizontally, challenging traditional hierarchical studio models. Based on theories of collective intelligence and agile methodologies, the paper argues that effective management and collaborative creativity are key to realizing the potential of such distributed music projects. The paper presents a conceptual model that illustrates the integration of agile project management and collective intelligence in decentralized music production, emphasizing iterative creative processes and interactive knowledge sharing. The paper argues that the fusion of project management and collective intelligence represents a fundamental shift in how music is produced, distributed, and imagined in the digital age.
