Abstract

The need for software development methods that have faster and flexible development process has emerged nowadays. Agile software development method is a method that promises shorter time-to-market and higher flexibility to accommodate changes of requirements. One framework that relies on agile software development method is Scrum. It has iterative, focus on teamwork, and collaboration development process. Scrum also has several challenges, such as long users' feedback loops, lack of users' involvement in testing, and lack of software quality. In this paper, we aimed to address those challenges by applying usability testing. It is expected that by applying usability testing to Scrum could improve the Scrum in addressing the challenges. There is also a software that built using Scrum to proof the concept.
