This paper examines the relationship between Agile methodologies, team motivation, and productivity within Nigeria's software development industry, emphasizing unique contextual challenges. It conducts in-depth review of literature, tracing the evolution of motivation, productivity, and Agile methodologies, and scrutinizing their application within Nigerian software development. A proposed framework identifies pivotal motivational and productivity factors for Agile software development, suggesting working culture best practices for Nigerian companies. Implementation of these practices promises an environment fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth, subsequently boosting motivation, productivity, and global competitiveness. The paper concludes by proposing future research avenues, including cross-cultural comparisons, empirical studies, and further exploration of Agile methodologies' success factors.
