Paper Abstract:
|
Scrum is a well-understood, widely used software development management approach in support of Agile development. While Scrum clearly possesses many positive virtues, there are pervasive concerns in scaling Scrum from small and medium-size projects to large projects and large teams. Developers using Scrum are quite familiar with how Scrum frameworks, processes, premises, and core principles work for many development efforts, but a lack of understanding on how Scrum scales with larger, more complex, and potentially geographically distributed teams causes some development efforts to eschew Scrum and thus lose the positive and popular features of Scrum. Given this backdrop, this paper starts with a short description of agile development and the popularity of Scrum. In order to set the background for the expansion of Scrum into distributed development, the paper presents a short description of the major features and roles of Scrum. The paper then concentrates on the diverse issues centered on scaling traditional Scrum features and roles into a Scrum of Scrum for distributed software development. It is the intent of this paper to highlight the state of the art in this area and emphasize the import these issues present to the software development community. |
