Resumo(s)
Agile methodologies, initially developed for software, have since evolved to support complex
projects across a range of industries, including education, manufacturing, construction, and
healthcare. In this study, we aim to identify the key attributes of an Agile project that
contribute to successful outcomes focusing on leadership styles, team member dynamics and
the effectiveness of specific agile practices. Agile promotes flexibility, improved teamwork,
and iterative delivery, but challenges such as organizational resistance, leadership
misalignment, and inconsistent execution restricts its progress. To investigate these factors
we surveyed 179 professionals with or without experience in Agile environments. The findings
reveal that Agile Leadership is the most influential factor, directly and indirectly impacting
project success through Team Capability, which acts as a strong mediator in the model.
Leadership Support also emerged as a critical antecedent of Agile Leadership. These results
suggest that for Agile to be successful, organizations must go beyond adopting Agile tools,
they must develop leadership skills, invest in team development, and foster a culture of
feedback and autonomy. The study contributes theoretically by validating the interplay
between individual, team, and leadership-level constructs in Agile environments, and
practically by offering guidance for managers seeking to leverage Agile principles in volatile
and complex organizational contexts.
