ABSTRACT

The adoption of Agile methodologies in the IT industry has gained significant attention as organizations strive for increased flexibility, faster delivery cycles, and improved customer satisfaction. However, successful implementation of Agile practices requires a comprehensive understanding of the critical success factors (CSFs) that contribute to its effective adoption. This study aims to identify the CSFs for the implementation of Agile methodologies in the IT industry. Through a systematic review of existing literature and empirical research, a set of key CSFs were identified, including organizational culture, leadership support, team collaboration, stakeholder involvement, and effective communication. The study acknowledges the limitations of the research, such as the generalizability of findings and sample size limitations and highlights the need for further research in comparative studies across industries, multinational perspectives, long-term effects, and qualitative investigations. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to implement Agile methodologies successfully, guiding their efforts to focus on the critical success factors identified in this study.
