The Lithuanian Progress Strategy 2030 and related educational policies emphasise the need to prepare students for a dynamic world filled with challenges and opportunities. This necessitates the improvement of educational content through a competency-based approach that transcends traditional subject boundaries. Implementing interdisciplinary integration requires a holistic combination of knowledge, aligned with student interests and societal needs. Teachers are granted autonomy to design and adapt subject content to meet educational objectives, although this demands both time and specific competencies. Effective interdisciplinary teaching depends on collaborative practices that deepen understanding and enhance skills. Characteristics of transformational leadership, such as trust based on shared values and leading by example, are crucial for improving the quality of education. These values underpin the Agile project management model, which is designed for goal-oriented collaboration amid uncertainty. However, the Agile methodology is not yet widely applied in Lithuania’s education system. This study aims to explore the potential of Agile methodology for facilitating interdisciplinary integration in a gymnasium.
