Grounded theory approach (GTA) is frequently used in management research to develop new theories. Adopting DevOps practices for effective software project management has the goal of providing organizations with a comprehensive approach to software development that prioritizes collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement. The goal of this notion is to assist organizations in streamlining their workflows, reducing waste, and improving team communication, leading in better software solutions that suit the needs of their consumers. Findings presented in the paper identifies that increased the speed of automation and allowed the development of new and interesting features in various types of software.
