THE AGILE TRANSITION PROCESS OF ORGANIZATIONS IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.51923/repae.v9i3.302Keywords:
Agile Adoption Challenges, Agile Transition Process, Agile Transition Framework, Agile Project ManagementAbstract
Organizations which use Traditional Project Management Models face the great challenge to transform their processes and their culture. In this context, this research aimed to develop a set of recommendations to be adopted by the organizations to facilitate the transition from the traditional to the agile model in software development project management. Exploratory qualitative research was carried out in two steps: a Systematic Literature Review and semi-structured interviews. The conclusion was that the ATP causes great impact on people and the main practices should aim to reduce team resistance. In addition, it should be an initiative of the whole organization.
