Abstract

This research paper delves into the convergence of Agile project management, business ethics, and corporate social responsibility (CSR), examining how Agile frameworks can be enhanced by integrating ethical principles and CSR initiatives.

Furthermore, the implications of CSR for Agile project management are explored, including environmental sustainability, social impact, and ethical supply chain management.
