‘2TSCRUM’: um jogo de tabuleiro para o ensino do Scrumm

Abstract

The need for software with quality, low cost and differential, the constant changes in the mart and the need for fast and flexible software development companies, led to the creation of a new approach to software development. The agile methods seek to reduce the time devoted to documentation and to increase the time of software development, besides being adaptive to changes. Scrum is one of the agile methods mostly used in the software development market. The interest for professionals who have experience with agile methods, in specific Scrum, is increasing. However, the teaching of the agile methods is carried out theoretically, however, due to the complexity of these methods, there is a need for practice to fix the content and provide a first practical contact. However, the teaching of these methods is carried out theoretically, but, due to the complexity of the agile methods, there is a need for practice to fix the content and provide a first practical contact. One practical teaching method that has shown good results is the use of games. In this context, with the aim of contributing to the teaching of agile methods, this work proposes a simulation game to assist the practical teaching of Scrum. For this, a game was developed and built to assist in the teaching of Scrum, and an evaluation of educational games was carried out with undergraduate students of the Introduction to Processes and Software Requirements discipline, students who have already studied Software Engineering and students of specialization in Software Engineering of the discipline of Agile Project Management. The results obtained, show that the proposed game is useful to support the practical teaching of Scrum.
