%X Modeling is an essential part in software development projects. This shifts the focus of software development from writing code to building models. Consequently Object Management Group (OMG) introduced Model Driven Architecture (MDA). MDA is the open approach to control both business and technology changes. MDA is created to help UML designers to cover all specification of the software system with all levels of modeling to move systematically from requirement phase towards design and coding phases. This paper focuses on the Business-Technology gap in software projects as a research problem. A new framework for Agile Methodologies will be introduced as a general guideline for the Agile Software Projects. This framework will integrate MDA capabilities and enhances the development process in Agile Methodologies and Agile Project Management. The empirical result is Agile Methodologies (with MDA capabilities) can decrease the negative effects of the research problem during the development of Information System (IS) projects, and consequently increases potential capabilities in Agile Methodologies.
