Abstract: Abstract The paper evaluates the impact of Agile implementation within organizations focusing on enhancing project delivery, customer satisfaction, team collaboration, productivity, and a culture of innovation. It seeks to determine Agile’s effectiveness through criteria such as customer contentment, team efficiency, delivery velocity, quality, adaptability, and stakeholder involvement, utilizing a survey of 1161 participants across various sectors. The analysis identifies four pivotal factors: work clarity and quality, business-IT alignment, risk and cost reduction, and management optimization. Agile’s success correlates with internal process and culture ratings, development methodologies, and interdepartmental teamwork, yielding benefits like heightened motivation, superior product quality, increased productivity, and cost savings. The essence of Agile transformation lies in improving team dynamics and product results, contingent on an organization’s inherent culture and processes. By endorsing collaboration, communication, and flexibility principles, Agile practices such as stand-ups and retrospectives foster continuous improvement and efficient problem-solving. The organizational culture’s perception significantly influences Agile’s successful adoption, with a transparent and empowering environment enhancing its integration. It leads to a virtuous cycle of productivity and improved product support. Moreover, Agile methodologies enhance resource efficiency via team and departmental coordination, with frameworks like Scrum and Kanban facilitating cost reduction and expedited delivery, ensuring business goals and development efforts are well-aligned.
