Scrum Framework Implementation for Software Development Projects in IT Companies

Abstract

The project success needs to be measured to find out whether the implementation method is fit. The assessment criteria used to measure project success vary and depend on several factors, such as scope and complexity. In IT projects, two well-known methods are Traditional and Agile. This study assesses whether the Scrum applied to several ongoing projects in a company is appropriate by finding the criteria used in project measurement and evaluating the project’s success. This study examines an IT company that focuses on providing network and application development for its parent company to choose a suitable method for its projects. Currently, the Agile method (Scrum) is used in several projects as a pilot. We utilize the AHP method to determine the project success measurement and whether the Agile (Scrum) method can be applied throughout all IT projects in the company. The study takes the management point of view; thus, it does not focus on the conformity of the framework implementation.
