Background This study examines software engineering practices in Bangladesh, comparing them with global standards to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement. Key challenges include limited adoption of modern methodologies, insufficient integration of emerging technologies, and gaps in education-industry alignment. Through surveys, case studies, and expert interviews, the paper provides actionable recommendations to align local practices with global benchmarks, thereby enhancing Bangladesh’s competitiveness in the global software market. Methods: A mixed-method approach is used to analyses Bangladeshi software engineering processes using quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative part incorporates surveys of 200 software professionals in Bangladesh to measure the adoption of Agile, DevOps, and new technologies. The Likert scale will assess attitudes, perceptions, and practice adoption in these surveys. A qualitative component includes in-depth interviews with 20 software industry executives, including instructors and senior workers. These interviews will examine education-industry alignment and global standard adoption. Results: Bangladesh's software industry is poised for significant advancement through the adoption of global best practices such as Agile and DevOps, which will enhance competitiveness in the global market, particularly in highdemand sectors like fintech and AI. The implementation of these methodologies is expected to lead to improved project outcomes and responsiveness, ultimately resulting in higher client satisfaction as firms become more adaptable to client needs. Additionally, a strong emphasis on skill development in emerging technologies such as AI and cloud computing will prepare the workforce to meet the industry's evolving demands, fostering a more competent and agile labor pool. Together, these initiatives can position Bangladesh as a formidable player in the global software arena.
