Resumo(s)
This study focuses on how emerging technologies can be effectively integrated into Agile software
development projects to create a guideline or framework that helps Agile teams adopt and manage new
technologies. Emerging technology such as Blockchain, Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence is reshaping
Agile software development, offering new opportunities and challenges. This study explores how these
technologies influence Agile projects and identifies key factors for their successful adoption. Therefore, the
research adopts a design science research methodology to explore how organizations can effectively
implement and manage emerging technologies within Agile software development projects. Using a mixedmethod approach, including surveys and, the research provides insights into optimizing Agile frameworks for
technological advancements. Grounded in Technological Determinism theory, the findings offer practical
guidelines for industry professionals and researchers. Ultimately, this study aims to enhance project
performance, improve decision making, and support future innovations of the project. To examine the
literature review and systematic interviews analysis are conducted to establish the foundation for a
comprehensive implementation framework. This includes key components such as readiness assessment,
strategic alignment, performance evaluation, and continuous improvement. The framework is developed to
guide organizations through the integration process while aligning with Agile principles. Validation is achieved
through expert feedback and use case applications, confirming the framework is both relevant and practical for
real-world use. As a result, this research contributes a structured, evidence-based approach to bridging the gap
between technological advancement and Agile practice. Furthermore, the study provides important
implications for both practitioners and future academic inquiry into the intersection of Agile methodologies
and emerging technologies. The study resulted in a structured implementation framework that includes
readiness assessment tools, performance evaluation metrics, and iterative improvement mechanisms tailored
to emerging technologies within Agile settings. Key outcomes revealed that organizations with clear integration
strategies and continuous learning cultures were more successful in leveraging new technologies to enhance
flexibility, speed, and team collaboration. Additionally, empirical evaluation with industry professionals
confirmed the practicality and relevance of the proposed guidelines. These outcomes reinforce the importance
of aligning Agile practices with technological evolution to sustain competitive advantage in fast-paced
development environments.
