The Impact of Agile Methodology on It Project Success (A Structural Literature Review)

Agile methodology have transformed IT project management by providing a flexible and adaptive framework to address the dynamic nature of software development. The influence of agile approaches was evaluated by this study, particularly Scrum, and the corresponding effect on successful IT projects deliveries. The study employed a structural literature review and thematic analysis to identify key success determinants. Research findings shows that agile strategies markedly enhance project efficiency, adaptability, and customer satisfaction in contrast to conventional methods such as the Waterfall methodology. The research indicates that essential success variables are cross-functional team competence, iterative development, and proactive stakeholder engagement. Nevertheless, obstacles remain, especially in implementing agile methodologies across extensive, dispersed teams and tailoring them to varied business cultures. A comparative analysis employing the Iron Triangle concept underscores Agile's enhanced efficacy in managing time, cost, and quality restrictions, though its efficiency fluctuates across diverse project circumstances. The implementation of a structural literature review guarantees a thorough synthesis of previous research, whereas theme analysis discerns repeating patterns and interconnections among main components. This research provides academic and practical insights, elucidating Agile's role in contemporary IT project management and assisting practitioners in harnessing its potential for project success.
