Exploring Key Determinants in Implementing Effective Agile Project Management: A Case Study of Indonesian Practices

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the perceived importance of customer characteristics, organizational influence, project management methodology, and team challenges on the effectiveness of agile project management implementation in Indonesia. The research employed a survey method involving 300 Agile Project Management practitioners from the Indonesian business sector. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Research findings indicate that the Team Challenges are the first order of most influential factor in the implementation of Agile Project Management, followed by the Project Management Methodology, Organizational Influence, and Customer Characteristics. This study contributes to the development of research and minimizes the literature gap on Agile Project Management implementation effectiveness in Indonesia. Limitations of this study are the reliance on self-reported data and potential bias in respondents' perceptions. The study found that data consistency was within the acceptable range of <0.3. Its originality lies in its focus on the priority among Customer Characteristics, Organizational Influence, Project Management Methodology (PMM), and Team Challenges in implementing Agile Project Management using AHP. The results contribute to the existing body of knowledge on Agile Project Management and offer insights for future research in this area.
