This research amied to provide IT managers with the information they need to make informed decisions about their project management approaches by providing specific examples and analyzing the impact of agile project management on IT projects. The goal of this study was to improve understanding of how agile project management affects IT projects. IT managers wishing to implement or improve agile approaches can gain valuable insights from this analysis of actual data and comparative study. Enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and customer satisfaction of IT project outcomes is the ultimate goal of this research. The main purpose of this analysis was to shed light on how different project management approaches affect engineers' productivity, effectiveness, and efficiency in order to improve project outcomes, efficiency, and client satisfaction in IT ventures. This research, which focuses on the IT industry, carefully examines the essential elements for a successful implementation of Agile project management strategies, which have shown advantages in the IT industry. The main goal of the study was to identify the crucial success variables that affect IT project success across functional departments of selected entities, both at the individual and organizational levels. A study using random sampling was carried out, and a questionnaire was given to project managers, consultants, and engineers who had at least five years of experience. The sample consisted of 200 individuals working at IBM. The research also provides opportunities for more research, with a focus on internal organizational policies, contract structures, team communication, and consumer engagement. While new perspectives on contract forms and the use of Agile methodologies in quality assurance were provided, more research is necessary to completely comprehend the influence of organizational and human factors.
