Purpose: This study examines Agile practices as factors in the success of Agile-managed IT projects. These factors contribute to project success based on sector-specific success criteria. The result of the article is developed and validated through an empirical research model that connects Agile practices with these criteria. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative approach was used - in-depth interviews with Agile practitioners engaged in IT projects. Respondents assessed the relationships between Agile success factors (practices, tools, and artifacts) and the criteria that define project success. To ensure practical relevance, experts reviewed the model to verify its applicability and utility. Findings: The study identified several Agile practices as significant contributors to IT project success, particularly in planning, product backlog management, and consistent software delivery. However, daily meetings were found to contribute only marginally to some success criteria. The model suggests that certain Agile practices may be less aligned with traditional success criteria, such as meeting budget and time constraints. Research limitations/implications: The study's qualitative design may limit its generalizability, potentially missing variation in Agile practices across different types of projects. Future research could adopt, in addition, a quantitative approach, allowing for more specific insights across varied project types. Additionally, further study could focus on the role of success criteria in relation to overall project outcomes. Practical implications: The findings offer guidance for managers to emphasize specific practices that improve resource planning and execution based on their team's success criteria. Agile teams can use the model to assess the value of their practices in meeting project goals, allowing for a more targeted approach to optimizing Agile processes. Originality/value: This study presents an extensive model that links a wide range of Agile practices directly to project success criteria, providing a practical framework for Agile teams to evaluate and refine their work. The research is valuable for project managers, Agile teams, and organizations looking to enhance their Agile strategies for better project results.

The topic of sustainability has taken root in the world of science and business, and much has been said about introducing the concept to businesses or the construction industry. Much less attention has been paid to describing the proposed improvements in educational institutions, such as universities. The study aims to find space in both the employee and student environment to introduce the idea of sustainability, not only in terms of green buildings but also in the concept of work. The authors focused on identifying the most valuable benefits and the barriers that are most likely to hinder the process. They took Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Wrocław Tech) as the subject of the study. The entire study consisted of an analysis of university documents, as well as interviews with experts and students involved in university life. Taking into account the results of the analysis, conclusions were presented for further study.
