Abstract

The evolution of project management methodologies has necessitated the need for organizations to adapt their project management tools and systems to better support Agile practices. As companies increasingly embrace Agile methodologies to enhance flexibility, responsiveness, and collaboration, the traditional project management systems, particularly SAP Project Systems (PS), face challenges in effectively supporting these new frameworks.

Employing a mixed-methods research design, this study utilizes qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, including surveys and case studies from organizations that have successfully implemented Agile methodologies within their SAP PS environments. The findings reveal common challenges faced by organizations, including resistance to change, lack of training, and insufficient customization of SAP PS to support Agile workflows. Additionally, this research identifies successful strategies for optimizing SAP PS to align with Agile principles, such as customizing the system to allow for iterative planning, real-time updates, and enhanced collaboration tools.

This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing practical insights and actionable recommendations for organizations looking to enhance their project management capabilities through the integration of Agile methodologies within SAP PS. The findings encourage further research into the development of innovative solutions that bridge the gap between traditional project management systems and Agile practices, ultimately paving the way for more effective project execution in a dynamic business environment.
