Agile scrum methodology has been evolved over the time largely through software industry where it has grown and developed through empirical progress. The research work presented in this paper has proposed a framework by identifying critical elements for applicability of agile scrum methodology in software industry. The proposed framework is based on four elements, i.e. technical, people, environmental and organizational. The proposed framework is validated through statistical analysis, i.e. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) after collecting data from software industry personals who are working on agile methodologies. The research concludes that 15 out of 18 hypothesis were found significant which include Training & Learning, Societal Culture, Communication & Negotiation, Personal Characteristics, Customer collaboration, Customer commitment, Decision Time, Team Size, Corporate Culture, Planning, Control, Development, Information Administration, and Working Environment.
