Towards a Set of Factors to Identify the Success in Scrum Project Delivery: A Systematic Literature Review
Agile based software development is increasingly being adopted by software professionals, as it guarantees the early development of high quality software and software products. One of the most popular agile methods is Scrum, which is a methodology that involves an iterative, incremental and empirical process. In addition, it is designed to add value, focus, clarity, and transparency to the activities and products of a project. Agile methods have been criticized and defended, and research has shown that accommodating change can be a factor in both success and failure. Although Scrum is a light and easy to understand process, its adoption is sometimes difficult. To gather a set of factors to identify success during a Sprint implementation, a systematic review of the literature is carried out in which we find several factors that help to achieve the success of a Sprint; these are classified into four groups: personnel, project, product, and organization. The results represent a basis for companies seeking to improve the implementation of Scrum.
