Proposição de uma metodologia ágil de desenvolvimento de software baseada em scrum: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Agile Methodologies emerged as an alternative to traditional software development methodologies. They have a greater focus on product development and delivery and on reducing documentation and over-planning. The Court of Auditors of the State of Mato Grosso (TCE-MT) carried out its software development process based on a traditional methodology inspired by the RUP (Rational Unified Process) which was called PDMS. With the increase in work flow, difficulty in managing delivery deadlines and the lack of visibility of projects, TCE-MT identified the need to adopt an agile methodology. Scrum, an agile framework whose main advantages are greater communication between the team and less documentation, emerged as a good alternative for the software development process within TCE-MT. This work proposes a new methodology based on SCRUM which was named by the author and the leadership of the development team as ’Agile PDMS’ and reports how the implementation of the new methodology within the TCE-MT was carried out. Despite having been proposed for a public organization, the agile PDMS has several elements that can be generalized to other contexts.
