"Scrum Code Camps"

Abstract

A classic way to choose a supplier is through a bidding process where tenders from competing companies are evaluated in relation to the customer's requirements. If the customer wants to hire an agile software developing team instead of buying a software product, a new approach for comparing tenders is required. In this paper we present the design of such a new approach, the Scrum Code Camp, which can be used to assess agile team capability in a transparent and consistent way. A design science research approach is used to analyze properties of two instances of the Scrum Code Camp where seven agile teams were evaluated.
