Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of agile project management on cost, time, and productivity. The study follows a deductive analytical approach to scrutinize the effect of adopting agile processes in the Lebanese IT sector by testing three hypotheses formulated by the existing body of knowledge. Quantitative data was collected through the use of a questionnaire. The random sample for the study consists of 353 respondents who are familiar with agile processes. The data was analyzed via multiple linear regression modeling, and statistical results were featured and analyzed, leading to testing the proposed hypotheses. The results show that agile processes have a significant effect on the three variables of wasted time, cost, and productivity. The study offers insights into managers looking forward to enhancing their work through achieving cost savings, reducing wasted time, and improving their team productivity. This study may be among the first to address agile approaches’ acceptance and advantages in the Lebanese IT industry.
