AbstractThis article aims to present the challenges of applying agile scaled in software projects characterized by high complexity and long duration, by conducting a case study in a financial organization in Brazil. The research has a qualitative approach and a descriptive nature, with the research unit characterized by a highly complex software development project in a company in the financial sector. The results of this research indicated that despite the organization already developing its software projects together with the approach of a scaled agile methodology, it still faces difficulties related to the misalignment between the methodology, the complexity and the duration of the project. Therefore, this research contributes to the practice, presenting possible mitigating actions for the implementation of an agile scale methodology to the detriment of the adversities of the organizations. Secondary challenges were highlighted as a result of the inclusion of unplanned work from regulatory agencies within the scope of the project, thus being characterized as the greatest difficulty encountered by the organization during the implementation of the agile methodology scaled to its project.
