| dc.description.abstract | Motivation towards the use of agile project management approach is an important step for adopting agile project management, however a spectrum of agile facades from the team’s agile mindset to the business stakeholder’s readiness are all relevant parameters that are needed to be measured for validating the implementation of a successful agile project management. This study selected PRIME project’s Monitoring and Evaluation assisting software project that adopted Scrum – an agile software project management method, as its project management approach. With primary objective of identifying the effectiveness of the adopted management approach, the research analyzed the level of the agile use and the success of the project that can be attributed to the stated method. The study used a primary data source using a structured questionnaire that are adopted from a standard Scrum metrics to measure the level and maturity of scrum implementation in the project. In addition, the success of the project has been analyzed to identify the relevance of the adopted method to the success of the project. Using a purposive sampling technique, the researcher selected respondents who assumed various roles in the software project. The findings indicated a moderate or medium maturity level in the process adoption and there is also an observed link between the level and maturity of the Scrum method used and the project’s success. Being a case study and constrained by the time resource, the research has limitation in strengthening the analysis by using qualitative methods as additional research approach. Future researcher may use this to further widen the research horizon. In addition, other similar organization’s agile use and project success may be added as a comparative study to further strengthen. | en_US |
