Abstract:
Scrum is recognized as one of the most promising and successful agile process models in the software industry. Wide recognition is based on his contribution to increased productivity, better collaboration, quick response to changing market needs and faster delivery of quality products. Although Scrum works better for small projects, practitioners face some challenges in implementing it in Sudanese software companies. Experts have tried to improve Scrum in ways that eliminate these shortcomings and limitations, but no company has been able to solve all the problems. The purpose of this study is to provide a customized Scrum framework for small and medium-sized software companies in Sudan with the aim of improving team productivity and documentation. . The study used asynchronous online focus group data collection as a very useful technique to obtain feedback from small and highly experienced groups in the field of agile software development. The resulting customized Scrum framework requires the adaptation and development of classic Scrum techniques and responsibility for solving problems while maintaining the integrity and simplicity of the methodology.
