    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-10) Hosanna Temesgen; Bahran Asrat (PhD)
    Agile project management (APM) has gained widespread adoption, but its effectiveness in large organizations remains debated. This study investigated the role of specific APM practices on project success at Heineken Ethiopia, a leading beverage company. Data was collected through a census of 30 project team members and interviews with five individuals representing diverse roles within Agile projects. The findings revealed that while Heineken Ethiopia has made progress in adopting Agile, particularly in well-defined project planning, effective resource allocation, and fostering strong team dynamics, there's room for improvement in risk management and monitoring and control practices. Interviews highlighted the importance of collaborative teams, adaptable risk management strategies, and a culture that values continuous improvement. The integration of Agile with Lean Six Sigma approaches was also positively perceived, suggesting potential for enhancing efficiency and waste reduction. The study concluded that while Heineken Ethiopia has demonstrated progress, prioritizing a robust risk management framework, strengthening monitoring and control systems, and further investing in team development will be crucial for optimizing Agile implementation and achieving greater project success. The research provides actionable recommendations, including targeted risk management training, enhanced monitoring systems, and ongoing team development initiatives, offering valuable insights for both Heineken Ethiopia and other organizations considering Agile adoption.
