Abstract

Agile methodologies have revolutionized the way project management is handled, emphasizing iterative development and cooperation between client and vendor in a fast-paced world of software development. A comprehensive agile framework, which may be adapted to changing requirements, is nonetheless needed in view of the increasing complexity of projects. In order to overcome the limitations of existing Agile models, this Article shall introduce a novel method named 'Agile X.' This research supplies a framework that will improve project management, foster collaboration, and deliver superior project outcomes through the use of strong quantitative analysis and qualitative evidence.
