Sustaining Agile Usage: Role of Management Support in Shaping Agile Mindsets in Development Teams
View through CrossRef
Agile methodologies have acquired prominence in the modern landscape of software
development. Regardless of development teams shifting to such methodologies, they experience
obstacles in their sustained usage. Research implies these originate from shortcomings in the agile
mindset of team members, considering the role of management support in fostering the same.
However, they struggle to properly address the impact of management support on sustained agile
usage. This study solidifies the impact of management support on the sustained usage of agile
methodologies, exploring the mediating role of the agile mindset. A questionnaire was
administered to select a group of 100 agile software development team members. A quantitative
research approach was employed, with cross-sectional data gathering. Partial Least Squares
Structural Equation Modelling was applied to analyse the relationships between variables, finding
that the management support provided by an agile software development firm has a significant
positive impact on the agile software development team’s sustained agile usage. Furthermore, the
management support by the firm cultivates an individual’s agile mindset. An individual’s agile
mindset has a positive correlation with sustained agile usage of the team as well, thereby
establishing a partial mediation between management support and sustained agile usage.
Interestingly, the findings assert the importance of management support while demonstrating their
responsibility for the achievement of the ultimate goal of establishing a culture of agility by
fostering individuals’ agile mindsets in an SD firm. Furthermore, it furnishes practitioners with
the knowledge to develop effective interventions to foster an agile mindset among team members,
thereby ensuring the long-term success of agile methodologies.
