The Influence of Kanban Agile Methodology on Software Project Management: A Survey Method

Software project management (SPM) is an important process in the software development (SD) industry, that involves the planning, organizing, and overseeing software application development. Kanban agile (KA) methodology is a systematic project management approach that prioritizes workflow optimization, clear visibility, and continuous delivery in SD. It has become increasingly popular in software development for its ability to adapt to changing requirements and promote continuous delivery. It is examined that kanban affects critical project management factors. Data is gathered through a survey of software professionals who are experienced with kanban. The results indicate that kanban significantly improves team collaboration, workflow transparency, and overall project efficiency. This study investigates the impact of the KA methodology on SPM using a survey-based approach. However, the study also identifies challenges, including the initial learning curve and resistance to change within teams. These findings provide valuable insights for organizations considering kanban and contribute to the broader understanding of its role in SPM. We surveyed several software development companies, and the results show that almost all of them use agile methodology (Kanban), which improves SPM as compared to other agile methodologies like Scrum, extreme programming and dynamic systems development methods.
