Organizational Agility focuses on both stability and dynamism, is more people centric in its approach towards efficient output through faster decision cycles and leveraging technology to manage risks and produce the desired output for its customers. This paper aims at evaluating the organizational agility level from the perspective of people and culture in a software project organization using the multi-grade fuzzy approach. Findings from the case study indicate that the case organization agility index is 6.79 which specifies as ‘agile’. Importance Performance Analysis is used to identify the weaker attributes of case organization. Furthermore, recommendations for the improvisation of weaker attributes of the case organization are discussed.
