This is also reflected in the academic literature, as there are only a few studies discussing agileadoption in public organizations. This paper contributes to research on the use of agile practices specifically in thecontext of public organizations, and sheds light on the challenges a public organization may face while adopting thesepractices. The aim of this paper is to identify and categorize the challenges that may hinder efficient adoption and use ofagile methods in public IT projects that include private software vendors.

As a result, this paper presents several categories of identified challenges, the root causes ofthese challenges, and a discussion of the characteristics of these challenges for the public sector
