Design/methodology/approachA quantitative approach with the application of a survey with project professionals resulted in 206 valid answers. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and the method of partial least squares (PLS).FindingsThe results present empirical evidence of the significant contribution of EO in the use of AM in project management, confirming the main hypothesis of this study. This effect was not influenced by the control variables tested.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the development of research on AM and minimizes the literature gap on the connection between entrepreneurship and AM. The results are limited to the sample. Studies with broader samples and different segments are suggested, as well as the contribution of each dimension of the EO to AM.Practical implicationsInnovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, autonomy and competitive aggressiveness (EO dimensions) can contribute to the use of AM and guide actions to develop these behaviors, pursuing better adherence to agile values and the use of AM in project management.Originality/valueThe originality of this study regarding the connection between EO and AM lies on the presentation of a theoretical model of this relationship and reduces the gap in this research field. Given the degree of EO contribution in AM (19.7%), there are other factors that affect the use of AM in project management that should be investigated. 2021 artículo científico 2515-8961 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=537566869002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869002/537566869002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5375/537566869002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5375 Innovation & Management Review application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo Innovation & Management Review (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.18
