A Study on the Impact of Agile Project Management Practices on Project Performance in the IT Sector

Abstract

This investigation set out to explore the repercussions of the three facets of balanced agile project management on project performance through the prism of business process agility. The study effectively ascertained and validated the intervening role of business process agility. Information was gathered from individuals employed in the IT sector in India utilizing purposive sampling, which yielded 287 responses for subsequent analysis. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied via SmartPLS3 to scrutinize the hypothesized relationships. The outcomes of the analysis unveiled significant associations, with all conjectures being corroborated. The substantiated intervening role of business agility underscores the importance of simultaneously integrating agility and control. This inquiry underscores the importance of balanced agile project management in augmenting corporate performance, accentuating the pivotal role of business process agility. It intimates that overseers in dynamic milieus should accord priority to empowerment, cross-functional collaboration, and maintaining equilibrium in control to nurture strategic agility and enhance corporate performance. Entities navigating dynamic settings should accentuate adroit management practices.
