AGILE ADOPTION CHALLENGES IN LARGE-SCALE SOFTWARE PROJECTS

Abstract

Agile methodology, initially popularized in small-scale projects, has gained significant traction in large-scale software development due to its flexibility, adaptability, and emphasis on collaboration. However, when implementing Agile in large-scale software projects, organizations face unique challenges. These challenges include coordination across multiple teams, maintaining consistent communication, and scaling Agile practices to fit complex, enterprise-level projects. This paper explores the hurdles and obstacles that organizations face when adopting Agile in large-scale software projects and examines strategies for overcoming these challenges. The paper also provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of Agile adoption on large-scale projects and offers practical insights for overcoming common difficulties.
