The purpose of the paper is to analyze and critically evaluate the challenges facing the organizational migration from traditional to agile project management and to propose an organizational framework with conditions for a more successful transformation to Agile in the IT sector.

An empirical study was conducted and the factors and challenges in the process of moving to Agile were investigated among respondents from different companies (n=98). On the basis of the findings, key conditions for organizational interventions to be followed to implement an efficient migration to an Agile have been identified.
