Abstract
The article examines current issues of enhancing the professional competence of future IT specialists in line with the demands of the digital economy and Industry 4.0. The study aims to identify scientific and methodological prerequisites for developing students’ digital literacy through the integration of cloud technologies such as Google Classroom and Trello in teaching the discipline “IT Project Management.” The research applied theoretical and expert analysis, pedagogical modeling, diagnostic surveys, and mathematical statistics using the Student’s t-test. A structural and substantive model titled “Formation of Digital Literacy in IT Project Management” was developed based on the Agile philosophy and Scrum methodology and implemented in the learning process. Twenty-four students participated in the experiment, where comparative analysis of their initial and final knowledge levels was conducted. The empirical value (temp = 4.15) significantly exceeded the critical value (tcrit = 2.06), confirming the positive impact of the proposed methodology on improving educational outcomes. The results revealed that students developed both technical (Hard Skills) and flexible (Soft Skills) abilities, including teamwork, time management, and virtual communication via the Trello Kanban system. The study’s scientific significance lies in presenting effective methodological approaches for integrating digital tools into higher education.
