The Use of Efficient Decision-Making Techniques for Evaluating Key Success Indicators in Agile Project Management (A Case Study of Mapna Company)
Keywords:
Agile project management, project success, best-worst method, information technology, team buildingAbstract
Agile project management is an iterative and collaborative approach that breaks down larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks called sprints or iterations. This method emphasizes flexibility and allows teams to respond to changing requirements while delivering work products incrementally. By fostering close collaboration and focusing on value delivery, agile project management helps teams effectively respond to challenges and changes throughout the project lifecycle. However, the success of implementing agile management depends on various factors that require intra-organizational and inter-organizational collaboration and coordination. In this regard, twelve variables were used as key success indicators in agile project management for the engineering team of Mapna Company. Using the best-worst method, the results revealed that project definition processes, team building, and management strategies were the most influential indicators. These were followed by market agility and concurrent engineering indicators. It is worth mentioning that process agility, information technology agility, information technology management, the use of knowledgeable and creative individuals, hardware, and virtual organizations had the least impact. In other words, project definition processes were found to be the most important criteria, while virtual organization indicators were found to be the least important in the success of agile project management at Mapna Company.
