Agile project management methods are popular, coming from software development, they are increasingly used in other areas such as engineering. Nevertheless, there is no consensus on how agility should be implemented in practice. A variety of different methods are practised under the agile label, directed toward distinct interests and goals. This article takes the perspective of employees working in engineering and explores how agility should be designed to actually result in facilitation of work. The study examines the research question through a quantitative survey ofover 600 employees from engineering departments in nine German mechanical engineering companies. A multiple regression analysis demonstrates that improved communication, focus on core tasks, an absence of contradictory demands, more self-organization at team level, sprint practice, experience with agile methods, and recognition of work are all linked to facilitation of work through agility.
