As this research work has shown, there is a vast interest in using agile project management in areas not even close to software development. Several articles were identified that showed successful case studies where agile project management had been applied. Nevertheless, these are initial results, and more research is needed to better generalize and build on their success. The main benefits reported from case studies in a non$-$software development context were related to teamwork, customer interaction, productivity, and flexibility. Some of the reported benefits are concepts that are not explicitly stated in the Agile manifesto or the accompanying principles, such as the impediment removal process or better focus. Also, the highest amount of benefits corresponds to the first value of the Agile manifesto $$Individuals and interactions over processes and tools$.$ These findings are interesting for further research since they imply that the first value of the agile manifesto could have the largest impact on benefits in agile applications in non$-$software development contexts. Further research needs to be carried out to make that kind of conclusion, however. As noted, very few challenges have been reported $($and sometimes only differences in the strength of each benefit$).$ Is it possible that there are so few challenges in agile implementations or could the authors have been biased when studying the cases so that they did not investigate challenges enough? Or could it be that the selected cases for this study, only $21,$ were not representative of the experiences from implementing agile in general? Even here, further research is needed to make any kind of conclusions regarding the reasons for the absence of reported challenges.

Please read the case study and respond to the following Questions:

Choose $3$ benefits from the table that lists benefits and relate them to your current project dynamics.

Choose $3$ challenges the table lists challenges and relate them to your current project dynamics.
