From Concept to Completion: Critical Success Factors in Agile Project Management for IT Projects

Huzooree, Aartee

Abstract

With a focus on the distinctive challenges inherent in IT projects, where achieving successful outcomes remains a constant struggle, Agile Project Management (APM) has revolutionized conventional project management approaches. This study aims to delve into recent literature on APM for IT projects to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) that significantly impact project success and to offer actionable recommendations. The research meticulously examined academic databases, including the IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Springer Link, and Google Scholar to identify peer-reviewed English language articles published between 2019 and 2024. A comprehensive analysis revealed thirty-three CSFs spanning organizational, project, team, and stakeholder categories. These findings provide valuable insights into the current landscape of APM for IT projects, offering relevance to both project management practitioners, top level management and researchers alike.
