Uma proposta de implantação do método SCRUM em uma empresa de tecnologia

Abstract

This work presents a proposal to implant Scrum gradually with a focus on reducing the impact of adopting the framework in an organization that works with software development and that has a conservative organizational culture. Starting the process of implementing the framework emphasizing the agile principles, pillars and values of Scrum for those involved can be a determining factor in achieving the results desired by an organization. The values presented by the creators of Scrum, Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland, often differ from an already well-established organizational culture, which can make the deployment process more complex and time-consuming. A case study is carried out around a gradual strategy: training people, forming a Scrum Team in a pilot project and expanding learning to other teams. Based on the lessons learned, the following implementation steps are suggested, focusing on the essence of agile development. In the quest to master the method, the organization experiences difficulties in engaging its employees in the transition from na organizational culture to an adaptive model. But it also reaps benefits, such as better interaction between developers and better delivery of value to customers. It is concluded that the adoption of the framework follows two definitions given by the Scrum authors: simple to understand and difficult to master. For adoption, na organization must establish good gradual deployment strategies considering its reality and must constantly evaluate the feedbacks collected to ensure that Scrum is being implemented based on the essence of agile software development.
