A utilização do scrum em projetos de pesquisa e desenvolvimento: uma análise sobre a adequação na implementação.

Abstract

Given the changes that have taken place in society, in which uncertainties and dynamism cause continuous changes in stakeholder requirements, project tools with a fixed scope cannot keep up with some of the social demands. Thus, the needs of the market accompanied this inconsistency, requiring more agile methodological approaches to develop projects, which would become a channel for adaptation. Due to the changes in requirements during the project, Scrum emerged as an alternative, becoming a solution used by many companies, especially in Information Technology. However, the lack of an adequate structure for implementing agile methodologies in research and development environments caused a need for customization in Scrum practices. This study analyzed whether the applied changes are in accordance with the Scrum methodology values in computer's research and development projects at the Federal University of Campina Grande, by obtaining descriptive, quantitative and qualitative data through direct contact with the situation target, questionnaires with collaborators and VOC (Consumer Voice). Most of the projects have a hierarchical structure and did not carry out all the Scrum ceremonies, creating difficulties in self-management and rework.
