Abstract
With the mandate of light-weight working practices, iterative development, customer collaboration and incremental delivery of business values, Agile software development methods have become the de-facto standard for commercial software development, worldwide. Consequently, this research aims to empirically investigate the preparedness and the adoption of agile practices in the prominent software companies in Bangladesh. To achieve this goal, an extensive survey with 16 established software companies in Bangladesh is carried out. Results exhibit that the Scrum agile methodology is the highest practiced one. Alongside, to a great extent these software companies have the readiness to effectively adopt the Scrum methodology. However, with regard to practicing the Scrum principles, they fall short in many key aspects.
