, Abstract
The purpose of this study is to look at the impact of Agile and DevOps on project management
approaches and team structure in the context of software development. The tactics employed in
project management are what decide whether a project succeeds or fails. When it comes to
software project planning, execution, and delivery to customers, Agile and DevOps methods are
dramatically altering decades-old conventions. The goal of agile processes, in particular, is to
meet client expectations in a timely way while reducing the number of mistakes that occur.
According to the findings of this research, the Agile and DevOps approaches have an impact on
scope management, quality control management, and estimating. All of these have an influence
on general project management techniques as well as specific project management practices. A
survey of the literature also shown that Agile and DevOps methodologies have an influence on
shared responsibility, automation, and feedback mechanisms, all of which contribute to the
organizational structure and structure of the team. The present study, in particular, provides a
conceptual framework and prepositions that researchers may choose to examine experimentally
in the future to get a more complete understanding of the impact. As a result of the findings, the
research makes advice to industries contemplating utilizing Agile or DevOps as part of a plan to
improve project management methodologies and team structure. Agile approaches are growing
increasingly popular among businesses. According to Gartner, although most established
software development businesses are transitioning to agile development methodologies, startups
are increasingly embracing agile methodology from the ground up. The goal of this thesis is to
examine several agile approaches in software development (such as Scrum, extreme
programming, and others) in order to determine which strategy is the most effective. Each agile
