Abstract: The IT sector has been one of the most active and dynamic fields, stimulating innovation and research for multiple fields in the last fifty years. As customer needs and competition requirements are changing, the software development models of the IT companies have also evolved, especially in the direction from a static (Waterfall) to an dynamic perspective (Agile), by involving customers and stakeholders directly into the production process. The main objective of the paper is to analyze specific characteristics of the Agile model implemented in IT companies between 2009-2018. As a methodology the Delphi method based on interviews and questionnaires was used in order to obtain an overview of the subject from IT specialists using the Agile model. The results indicated a clear orientation towards the Agile model as a main method of the software development in the IT sector.
