In university research projects, there is a lack of comprehensive project management, making project control challenging, which is essential for adhering to project goals, budget, and scheduling. Especially in a research project with a high degree of innovation and often numerous unknown factors, comprehensive project management becomes even more important. This paper first outlines the constraints applicable to university research projects in Germany. Subsequently, it delves into the specific requirements for project management in research projects. A literature review is conducted to identify suitable methods, revealing that most methods are unsuitable for research as they cannot adapt quickly enough to the objectives of the research. The results demonstrate how the agile project management approach can enhance the processes in university research projects.    «
