The article analyzes electronic document management in mechanical engineering enterprises and assesses the economic efficiency of implementing agile systems for technical documentation management. The work examines in detail the transition from traditional paper-based document circulation to digital platforms and evaluates the advantages of using the Worksection system compared to comprehensive PDM solutions. Attention is given to the analysis of economic and organizational factors, including reducing material costs, optimizing personnel work time, and minimizing errors and rework in documentation processes, which directly affect the efficiency of production and management processes in enterprises. The proposed approach can be applied to small and medium-sized mechanical engineering enterprises to implement agile digital platforms, including stages such as task assignment, deadline control, version control of technical documentation, and electronic approval of changes. The use of Worksection creates a unified environment for document management, ensuring transparency, improving workflow coordination between departments, and minimizing the influence of the human factor. Specifically, its implementation provides an annual economic effect of UAH 413586,5, with a payback period of approximately 2.5 months, demonstrating high cost-effectiveness compared to PDM systems, which generate significant financial burdens for small and medium enterprises. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the development of theoretical and practical recommendations for implementing agile project management systems within technical documentation workflows, thereby optimizing information flows, improving managerial efficiency, and reducing resource consumption. The practical significance of the study is the creation of an accessible methodology for digital document management in mechanical engineering enterprises, enabling faster approval processes, cost reductions, and improved productivity. Further research prospects involve investigating the integration of Worksection and similar agile platforms with CAD and other engineering software, exploring opportunities to enhance digital collaboration, and evaluating the long-term impact of agile electronic document management on enterprise efficiency, resource optimization, and competitiveness in dynamic market conditions.

Keywords: electronic document management, documentation management, Worksection, PDM/PLM, technical documentation, economic efficiency, information flows, mechanical engineering.
