• This bachelor thesis deals with the use of the agile project management methodology in Enterprise Resource Planning implementations. With regards to the most recent trend of the use of the agile methodology for ERP Implementations, it will be examined if it plays a role as a critical factor for successful implementations. The examination in the thesis will be divided into three steps. Firstly, the theoretical foundations regarding the elements under examination will be laid by defining and analyzing the ERP Systems, the critical factors and the agile methodology. Secondly, an empirical two-section examination will be held, with the aim of finding out which role the project management methodology plays for success in general, if the agile methodology proves to be more beneficial than other methods and if these advantages could be critical for success. The last step involves the analysis and evaluation of the newly gained insights, their boundaries and a view on other potential research possibilities.
