It is common to observe that development teams have problems managing work and delays in project delivery and software delivery with quality problems during the software engineering process. Thus, this study aims to implement a methodology to improve software development management and answer the research question: What success factors were found when implementing the methodology? The research structure was established as follows: 1) Comparative analysis between agile development methodologies most used in the community. 2) Conducting a case study at Yachay Tech University 3) Determine the critical success factors in adopting the methodology. 4) Statistical analysis of the results.
