Abstract
Enterprise IT (EIT) governance has become the primary approach in leveraging the IT function to achieve business objectives. We found in previously published work that decision making is the core of EIT governance. We collected quantitative data from professionals on decision making in Agile Software Development (ASD) projects, which we analyzed using Spearman’s Ranked Correlation Coefficient. Decision-making clarity in implementation and decision-making distribution in the organization layers positively impact ASD project success. However, our finding that tailoring the decision-making process does not impact ASD project success was most surprising. We conclude that the impact of decision-making factors in an ASD project’s success needs to be explored more deeply.

Enterprise IT (EIT) governance has become the primary approach in leveraging the IT function to achieve business objectives.

We collected quantitative data from professionals on decision making in Agile Software Development (ASD) projects, which we analyzed using Spearman’s Ranked Correlation Coefficient. Decision-making clarity in implementation and decision-making distribution in the organization layers positively impact ASD project success. However, our finding that tailoring the decision-making process does not impact ASD project success was most surprising. We conclude that the impact of decision-making factors in an ASD project’s success needs to be explored more deeply.
