Abstract

The increasing complexity of software projects has led to the adoption of Agile project management methodologies for large-scale software development. Agile frameworks emphasize flexibility, adaptability, and iterative progress, making them suitable for dynamic environments. However, scaling Agile in large organizations presents unique challenges in coordination, integration, and governance. This paper explores Agile practices for scaling frameworks such as Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), focusing on collaboration, communication, and risk management strategies. The study emphasizes how Agile project management enhances productivity, improves stakeholder satisfaction, and fosters innovation in large-scale software environments.
