This paper aims at describing the difficulties of using Agile methodologies in large scale and distributed projects and then it presents a solution to such problems. The approach presented is the continuation of the development of the original Agile approach to incorporate working in the environment that involves multiple teams and remain Agile in concepts and values. Some of these are: broadening the concept of success criteria from being simply measured in time, cost and scope to including qualities such as team morale and customer satisfaction. To address geographical and organizational separations, integrated project management systems and various instant collaboration methods are endorsed. The use of the phased implementation strategy entails an analysis of the literature, a cyclical design approach, and the pilot project validation to implement and adopt the best strategies within context. Through this solution, there are insights into how the Agile approach can integrate and work cohesively, creating harmonious interdependent working systems, engaging stakeholders, and ensuring performance delivery that comes close to the Agile concept while addressing the complexities of the large project environment.
