Purpose – This thesis is to identifying key success factors for autonomous agile teams at the small-scale. Furthermore the purpose leads to an improvement of their working process. Method – This study is based on a comparative case study of a company with offices located in Jönköping and Ängelholm. The data is gathered by semi-structured qualitative interviews and by a survey with qualitative and quantitative answers. Findings – The results from RQ1 shows that there exists a difference between established and non-established autonomous agile teams in order to achieve success for projects. The findings from RQ2 present six themes that each represent key success factors in an autonomous agile team-based IT project at the small scale. The themes are Customer Oriented, Architecture, Individual Development, Team Setup, Entirety and Privilege. The findings from RQ3 resulted in six different elements (Freedom and Flexibility, Trust and Responsibility, Clear directions, Environment, The work gives value and Shared knowledge) that make an individual team member satisfied in an autonomous agile team. Limitations – A fair limitation of this study is too few people to answered the survey. More respondents would have increased the trustworthiness of the results. Keywords – Autonomy, Self-organizing, Success factor, Agile development, Small-scale, Job satisfaction
