An empirical study of critical success factor model for agile software development projects
| Resumo: | Companies have been increasingly investing in technology to try to manage the risky markets of the VUCA – volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous – world we live in, although the failure rate of technological implementation projects is high. Despite the growing evidence that applying agile increases projects success, not all organizations have been capable to successfully implement it. This study aimed to find the critical success factors (CSFs) of agile software development (ASD) projects. For that, a research model to explain success was proposed and tested using a survey. The model argues that team capability (TC), customer involvement (CI), and psychological safety (PS) and team autonomy (TA) are the CSFs to be monitored for project success to be achieved. Results demonstrated that PS was a significant indirect success factor, reconfirmed the significancy of TC and CI direct impact and that TA appears to have a competing dynamic with PS on the other two factors. |
