| Summary: | The purpose of this mixed-methods study is to explore the effectiveness of Agile methods in addressing inefficiencies within software development projects, related issues, delays, excessive defects, and concerns with improved collaboration among the teams. This paper seeks to measure the value that Agile brings to organizations and recommend the implementation of these methods as a way of addressing the challenges that organizations experience when using conventional systems in software development. No changes to the basic Agile concept were made here and thus the research is based on methods that are already implemented such as Scrum and Kanban. Measures of productivity including project completion time, number of defects, and satisfaction level of the software development teams were obtained over six months from three companies. This research is innovative in the sense that it uses both the quantitative and qualitative methods in conducting the assessment to determine whether or not the Agile methodologies improve software development effectiveness and team performance in contrast to the Waterfall model. The results of this study indicate that Agile techniques enhanced productivity combined with the quality of team relations and can be used for further expansion in the sphere of software engineering. Therefore, it is recommended that Agile practices be implemented as a way of fixing problems that are standard in software development. |
