Exploring the Impact of Scrum Framework on Project Effectiveness: A Quantitative Analysis of Agile Implementation Challenges and Benefits

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Scrum framework on project effectiveness, focusing on key performance metrics such as time management, cost efficiency, quality improvement, risk mitigation, and human resource optimization. Through a comprehensive analysis of quantitative data collected from IT professionals and organizations, the research highlights the significant advantages of Scrum practices, including improved collaboration, enhanced productivity, and better quality outcomes. Despite these benefits, the findings reveal persistent challenges, such as resistance to change and role ambiguity, which hinder successful implementation. The study emphasizes the importance of practices like Daily Scrum and Sprint Retrospectives in driving project success and offers actionable recommendations for overcoming implementation barriers. By addressing gaps in existing literature, this research contributes to the growing discourse on agile methodologies and provides practical insights for organizations striving to enhance their project management practices.
