Abstract: Agile methodology emerged in response to the importance of humanistic aspects in Software Engineering (SE). However, there is lack of empirical evidence that supports its effectiveness in SE. The lack of empirical evidence demands more research in this field to generate more empirical data. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate empirically the effect of agile methodology on the members of software development teams. An empirical inquiry in the form of a case study was carried out in a computer centre in Malaysia. The case study focused on four software development teams working on different applications in an organization. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to triangulate and strengthen the empirical results. This study demonstrates that there is a relationship on the degree of agile application with team effectiveness.
