Project management, Agile methods, Agility, Critical success factors, Project performanceAbstract
Purpose: To identify the critical factors that influence the success of agile project management.
Originality/Relevance: The outcome was the development of a research model with high technical quality, incorporating observable items derived from existing literature and logically grouped based on empirical data affinity.
Methodology: Data collection was carried out using electronic survey. The analysis included 475 projects managed using various agile methodologies, encompassing software products, non-software products, and services across organizations of diverse sizes, sectors, and industries.
Results: It was found that factors inherent to the characteristics of the project and the organizational environment are more critical. The factors “Participants’ Dedication”, “Participants’ Experience” and “Project and Organizational Environment” are positively associated with the Success of Agile Projects.
Conclusion: Overall, the study provided evidence that the human factor plays a critical role in achieving desired performance levels within organizations.
