Aplicação do Scrum em uma empresa de desenvolvimento de software de pequeno porte

Abstract

Currently, small companies face significant challenges in managing and executing software development projects due to the lack of structured processes, task overload and difficulties in task visibility and demand control. In this context, Agile Methodologies emerge as effective alternatives to address these issues, especially Scrum, which promotes agility, transparency, and continuous process improve ment.This study aimed to analyze the results obtained through the implementation of the Scrum methodology in the development department of a small software company. To achieve this, a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach was conducted, detailing the procedural and organizational changes resulting from Scrum adoption. The results showed a substantial improvement in task organization and demand management, providing greater operational efficiency, faster deliveries, and enhanced technical quality. Additionally, a significant reduction in rework and bottlenecks was observed, along with increased internal and external satisfaction among stakeholders. It was concluded that the Scrum methodology, even considering the company's specific context, proved capable of promoting significant benefits, validating its applicability in smaller business environments.
