Proposta de processo ágil para projetos de desenvolvimento de software

Abstract

Currently, the percentage of software development projects that are not completed successfully, not meeting customer expectations or against the constraints imposed by them, is considerable. One of the main causes of these problems is the misuse or even the inexistence of project management practices. This work proposes an agile process for software development projects, allowing the execution, monitoring and control of projects by teams with little or no experience in this type of project. This process was defined based on the author’s experience and biblio- graphic research, using practices from different approaches to the management and execution of development projects, including the PMBOK Guide 6th edition, Scrum, FDD and DSDM, applying and adapting what is necessary and obtaining, as a result, a mixture between agile and traditional approaches. The adoption of this process in an academic environment allowed the team to carry out activities with greater control and fluidity, concentrating on problem solving and meeting objectives. It is concluded that the defined management process facilitates the control and organization of work, improves communication and maximizes skills development and knowledge exchange, enhancing individual and team performance as a whole.
