Análise da eficácia do gerenciamento ágil de projetos em uma empresa fornecedora de softwares do estado do Ceará

Abstract

The speed of dissemination of the information evidenced in the present day causes in society abrupt changes in a short interval of time. To address such changes, software projects must remain flexible to changes in scope, budget, and schedule, which can be made via Agile Project Management (APM). In this context, the present work aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of Agile Project Management in the development sector of a company providing software through the Scrum framework. The work is a case study in which a qualitative research was carried out to evaluate the context in which the APM implementation occurred in the company under study, which previously used the Traditional Project Management (TPM), and a research quantitative analysis was used to evaluate the results of the schedule and budget requirements obtained using the APM in comparison with the use of the TPM. n this research, two samples were studied, one containing projects managed under the TPM approach and the other with projects managed under the APM approach. With the results obtained, it was verified that the adoption of APM brought better financial results for the company, which started to obtain profits from its projects after a period of losses. The company also started to carry out its projects in a shorter period of time, reducing the delays presented during the adoption of the TPM, proving the effectiveness of APM and showing the need for guidance on software development companies on how to adapt their processes to the application of Scrum.
