Abstract
In the present day dynamic business environment, Agile Software could be the only savior for the organizations to face the ever changing business challenges and the dynamic complex requirements of customers. Agile Framework being the light weighted, it never expected complicated processes. The people’s participation is very much considered in the agile framework development. Therefore, Critical Success Factors have occupied the key position and been considered to be foremost important in the agile software development process (ASDP) project. In accordance with the above requirements, ten CSFs have been identified and selected for this study. In order to investigate the presence of agility in the CSFs, the software developers were taken as samples and responses were obtained from them through the self structured and tested questionnaire. The data thus obtained were fitted to “t” and One Way ANOVA tests to understand the significant presence of agility with the selected CSFs and its influence over the Agile Software Development Project (ASDP). The results of the analysis clearly indicated the positive and significant association between the ASDP and the Critical Success Factors through their contribution of agility in the ASDP.
