Agile Transformation Framework in Software Project Organization
Streszczenie
IT and ICT software project enterprises offer advanced business services and products to their
customers and users through complex, innovative and tailored programs and projects. IT and ICT programs and
projects are broadly used by different industries to deliver their services and products through advanced
software, web and cloud services and a multitude of user-customized digital technologies. A powerful and
unforeseeable market competition brought a lot of challenges to the complex project and program
management process. The primary challenges in the program and project management stem from: the
growing overall project efficiency and productivity, reduction of the time-to-market, an increasing
predictability of customer deliveries, expanding transparency of project planning, stronger cooperation and
communication between business and project teams, optimisation of project and program portfolio
management and creating a supportive and learning organizational culture. IT and ICT software project
companies evolve by going through various organizational changes related to project management
methodologies in order to address most of these challenges.
The primary goal of this paper is to present the Agile transformation framework as a model of an
organizational change deployed by introduction of a new project management methodology in the context of
the contingency theory. The paper responds to research questions about a potential Agile adoption framework
within the Agile transformation process. Following a review of the literature, the author’s empirical research
resulted in a multiple case study analysis of companies implementing Agile project management
methodologies. It is focused on Agile adoption models in IT and ICT software project enterprises.
As demonstrated by the results of the research, the change in the project management methodology has
significantly impacted the entire project organization. The research results showed that Agile transformation
framework is not only a pure change in project management methodology but an uniform set of
comprehensive organizational changes in governance, processes, technology, methodology, strategy, structure
and organizational culture. These changes may lead to a competitive advantage gained by a software project
organization. Senior executive management should analyze possible adoption models and framework prior to
deciding about deployment of the transition process.
