Abstract
Scrum and Kanban are some of the most common methodologies that are used in software development because of flexibility and focus on the team. Nevertheless, applying Agile at a project level and within large IT projects including workforce distributed across different areas, manages some remarkable difficulties, for example, coordination, communication, or resources. This paper examines ideas on how to improve the implementation of Agile system to increase the performance of the team and results of the projects. The study focuses on four key goals: proving Agile improvements in practice via pilot surveys, applying best-practice structures, such as defence-grade SAFe or LeSS at the scale, encouraging organizations-wide Agile mindset, and using collaboration and automation technologies when working in remote environments. These issues serve as the focus of this research with the intention of preserving Agile’s principles of flexibility and practicability across various size and scale projects. It presents suggestions for further research and informs practitioners and organizations wishing to obtain the most out of Agile methodologies in real environments.
