• Abstract: While Agile projects are more successful than traditional software development project management approaches, their overall success rate remains relatively low, with a high percentage of projects still deemed challenged or failed. This low project success rate is attributed to projects not being rigorously evaluated against critical success factors (CSF) of Agile projects and contemporary project success criteria. To identify the CSF that contribute to Agile software development project success as perceived by Agile practitioners, this study used a positivist approach to investigate the CSF of Agile software development projects. PLS-SEM with SmartPLS was used to analyse the data and test the hypotheses to identify significant relationships between the constructs and project success criteria. This research found that a few critical factors significantly contribute to Agile project success. The study developed a novel model that can be used to evaluate and measure project success.

  This paper proposes a new approach to automatically identify which change in the code caused a test to fail. The method leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to associate error messages with the corresponding code changes causing the failure. Our approach reaches an accuracy of 71% in our newly created dataset, which comprises issues reported by developers at EA over a period of one year.

  We investigated the relationship between teamwork quality and project success with a survey of 196 project participants across 34 teams in four projects. The observed effect of teamwork quality on project success operates differently across projects. We conclude with a call for more studies on the quality and frequency of interaction between teams in addition to internal team factors.
