Abstract

Human capital has encountered many challenges and changes during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This adaptability that we needed to embrace, to face the many challenges of the Pandemic context, have also increased the human capital capabilities in the labour market. Many companies have significantly transformed their business operations. Both workers and companies had to adopt new practices and ways of working while facing various challenges. One of the most notable changes is the shift towards remote work, which has led to a surge in the use of Agile Methodology, particularly in software development. Agile Methodology is a dynamic and flexible approach that fosters an empowering work environment, encouraging creativity, autonomy, continuous feedback, effective communication, and iterative progress. This paper aims to explore the positive correlation between the increased adoption of Agile Methodology during the pandemic, driven by social distancing measures, and its impact on Human Capital, especially within the IT development workforce.
