Abstract

This study delves into the burgeoning trend of deploying agile software development (ASD) on large-scale software projects, aiming to establish critical success factors (CSFs) to tackle associated implementation challenges. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and a comparative analysis of the two organisations' experiences, this research identifies challenges and mitigation strategies for large-scale ASD implementation. The findings elucidate typical implementation phases and challenges encountered, demonstrating correlations between challenges and the implementation process. Ultimately, this study fills a gap in the academic literature by addressing challenges in large-scale ASD implementation, offering real-world insights and comparisons with existing literature to provide valuable recommendations.
