The article states an overview of some current problems in operational properties of agile systems
and their functioning and their relation to information technologies usage. Operational properties defined
as properties characterizing the adaptability of systems required for achieving the possible targets
during their operation. Reaching the possible targets means getting the possible effects (major
results) of the operation, complying with targets, and while under possible conditions. A conclusion
on the prospects of the analytical estimation of the operational properties is provided. The operational
properties of agile systems analytical research concept provided. The main features of the research
conducted on the operational properties in the view of the current tasks of their research are provided
as well as the analytical modeling concept and invariants for analytical estimation of the operational
properties applicable to the problems discussed. Example of modeling for effects of agile systems functioning
provided. The obtained results should lead to a solution for the contemporary problems of the
operational properties of agile systems research using mathematical models.
