SUCCESS FACTORS OF AGILE PROJECTS: CASE STUDY FOR PROJECTS IN JORDAN DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The world has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by obtaining minimal knowledge and using it to confront several uncertainties. Their capacity to be agile and innovative has been stressed, especially with the timing of policy measures, the degree of decentralization, the balance between flexibility and stability. The agile project management approach was commonly used to resolve the risks, where it illustrates individuals and collaboration ability that simplifies the production phase. This paper presents the results of a study that mainly focused on investigating the success factors of agile projects in Jordan during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was achieved by conducting a questionnaire distributed to employees and managers in several Jordanian companies. The results show that team capability and motivation are the most important success factors for many firms. However, most of the firms agreed that activate a reward system is not an important factor during extraordinary times for agile projects.
