Abstract :Agile Manifesto has revolutionized the field of software engineering by promoting agility, adaptability, and flexibility during the development process. It emphasizes customer satisfaction, collaboration, and delivering high-quality software in a timely manner. Agile methodologies have emerged, varying in adherence to the Agile Manifesto\\\'s principles. Despite shared features, these methodologies exhibit variations in their practices, processes, and fundamental principles. The evaluation of agile software development methods is crucial for project stakeholders to achieve successful completion of software projects. This study aims to evaluate agile software development methodologies through a two-stage approach. The first stage involves determining the critical success factors weights using the SWARA and DEMATEL methods, and the second stage employs the ARAS method to evaluate and rank the effectiveness of the agile methods based on the identified CSFs. The study\\\'s originality lies in its application of the SWARA, DEMATEL, and ARAS methods to evaluate agile software development methods, which are not typically employed in the industry.
