Software development is expanding daily at a global level. Software has merged into many diverse fields and is becoming more complex. Changing requirements from customers is making it even more difficult for systems to adapt to the ever- changing customer requirements. The old traditional software methodologies have not been able to satisfy the markets’ ever-changing requirements anymore. Hence this study is therefore exploring how companies can adopt the Agile software development methodology which is more flexible and adapts to the changing customer needs easily. This study’s main goal is to establish the influence of organizational culture on the efficient use of Agile Software Methodology by the financial institution that I work for. A survey was conducted and a sample of 190 participants from my organization was used to collect data. The Data was collected, the findings and recommendations are discussed in this paper. The biggest limitation was that my company refused to have its name published due to competition in the sector. Hence in my study I will refer to the organization of study as a financial institution. It is my hope that my study will add to the literature that already exist and that the findings will help organizations to make wise decisions when choosing new software to use.en© 2034 University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
