The objective of this Bachelor’s thesis is to find out the success factors of Scrum and their assisting actions, and the projects and process types that can benefit from the application of Scrum. The target is to provide criteria for assessing the possibility of using Scrum for a project, as well as requirements for running a successful Scrum project.
This research is designed as a qualitative case study. The case study focuses on a project team who utilized Scrum in their project processes. The phenomenon observed here prompted the research problem and the research questions.
The theoretical framework provides background knowledge about Project Management standards, the traditional Waterfall approach, and Scrum. Scrum’s principles and practices are described and then compared with the traditional approach. A number of debates about Scrum’s application in different projects and processes are also presented.
The research employs an inductive qualitative approach. The data is collected by means of observation and interviews. The first step of the research was to observe the team’s application of Scrum. The second step was to interview the team members and Scrum and/or Project Management experts from different organizations. The empirical evidence was analyzed thoroughly to deliver findings in the form of generalizations for multiple situations.
The research is concluded with findings encompassing Scrum’s success factors, their assisting actions, and projects and processes types where Scrum can be beneficial or not.
