Agile project management. A case study on agile practices

Abstract

In project management and particularly software project management, there has been a shift from traditional plan based project management to the agile event driven project management style. Agile project management has for some time been viewed as the new big change that will revolutionize the software industry. The concept of agile has been around for some time, and although knowledge and usage are increasing, agile is not always the answer. Understanding when to use agile and which success factors to considered, is important to achieve success The goal of this thesis is to identify possible factors which could affect the success of an agile project. More specifically I want to check which agile practices are important to succeed in an agile project. In order to figure this out, a case study among participants in agile projects were conducted.
