Agile Transformation in IT Organisations

Abstract

The aim of the research is to compare different project management methodologies, especially agile and traditional linear models, with a special focus on their organisational and project methodological performance and effectiveness. At the beginning of the research process, three main hypotheses were formulated: agile methodologies increase organisational performance and efficiency, are more effective in IT projects compared to the traditional waterfall model, and may pose a risk to organisational design in the long run. The primary research involved questionnaires and interviews with ICT leaders and managers with experience in agile transformation. The questionnaire survey was designed to collect qualitative and quantitative data, while the interviews provided deeper insights into the experiences of managers and the implications of adopting agile methods in their companies. The data analysis phase involved statistical and qualitative analyses of the data, which highlighted the benefits and risks of adopting agile methods. The results helped to test the research hypotheses and contributed to a deeper understanding of the differences between methodologies and the organisational impact of agile transformation, thus supporting the research objectives and contributing to the scientific discourse.
