Abstract :
This paper contributes a framework to facilitate the strategic management of scrum projects. Scrum is a relatively new project management framework that has been adopted by research and development organizations, especially in the software development industry. Despite the many benefits that scrum has brought to R&D organizations, there are still additional benefits that have not been realized through the implementation of scrum in these organizations. Specifically, this investigation proposes an organizational learning framework applied to the strategic management of scrum projects. The results of this investigation can be used by senior managers and scrum practitioners as a guide for the development of strategies that promote learning across scrum projects.
