Agile project management concept was introduced in the 21st century for the first time to provide continuous and timely software to provide value to the shareholders. This method is also useful for a variety of projects to respond to environmental changes. As a dynamic business area, always there is a balance between the current and desired status of project-based organizations for which the study of the agile gap is important. In addition, there is no exact definition for desired status. Therefore, studying perception and expectation of contractors and employers is playing a main role for agile project management analysis.
