- Abstract
Purpose: The article deals with the comparison of traditional and agile software development methodologies to evaluate their effectiveness in project management. The study aims to identify the challenges of communication and trust that occur in project management and how these challenges can be addressed. The literature review discusses various traditional and agile software development methodologies, their limitations, and the importance of project management, communication, and trust. Design/methodology/approach: The study compares the effectiveness of agile project management and waterfall project management Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The objectives of the research were achieved by a questionnaire survey and interviews with software development teams. The results highlight the challenges of communication and trust in project management, and the study concludes that agile methodologies are more effective in project management as they provide more opportunities for communication and collaboration among team members. Findings: The study recommends that teams working on software development should implement agile approaches to improve their practices regarding project management. Agile approaches offer an increased number of chances for communication, cooperation, and feedback, all of which can contribute to the successful completion of a project. In addition, the findings of the study suggest that future research should center on the development of solutions to address the issues of communication and trust in project management. Research limitations/implications: The research limitations are due to fewer sample size of the data and the study is based on self-reported data which may not be entirely accurate. The study also has a limited scope, and the results may not be generalizable to other industries or project types. Practical implications: The research proved that agile methods are challenging in IT project teams. Still, communication and trust in project management are of great importance to ensure effective development of IT projects. Originality/value: The value of the research is the identification of the challenges of communication and trust that occur in project management and how these challenges can be addressed. The recommendations elaborated within the study to support the effectiveness of projects’ development are dedicated to companies in an IT sector.
