Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review to examine the implementation, challenges, and ongoing evolution of Scrum methodologies within Agile product development frameworks. Aimed at understanding how Scrum can be effectively tailored to meet the needs of diverse organizational contexts, especially in scenarios involving remote and distributed teams, the research also seeks to uncover the trajectory of Agile practices' continuous evolution. Employing a rigorous methodology, the review analyzed peer-reviewed articles and conference papers from key academic databases, including IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and Scopus, published between 2013 and 2024. The selection was based on relevance to Scrum practices, empirical evidence, and theoretical contributions to the field of Agile development. Key insights from the study underscore the critical role of Scrum in enhancing collaboration, flexibility, and responsiveness in product development processes. Challenges identified include the necessity of overcoming organizational resistance and the importance of customizing Scrum practices to align with specific project and team dynamics. Notably, the research highlights Scrum's adaptability in supporting distributed teams through strategic communication and trust-building measures. Furthermore, the study points to the integration of Scrum with DevOps and its application beyond software development as indicators of its evolutionary potential within Agile methodologies. Finally, the study offers strategic recommendations for organizations adopting Scrum, emphasizing cultural adaptation, continuous training, and practice customization. It also suggests avenues for future research, particularly in exploring Scrum's integration with emerging technologies and broader industry applications, contributing valuable insights into enhancing Agile product development efficacy through Scrum methodologies. Keywords: Scrum Methodologies, Agile Product Development, Distributed Teams, Continuous Evolution.
用Scrum方法加强敏捷产品开发:对实施实践和效益的详细探讨
本研究通过系统的文献综述,对敏捷产品开发框架内 Scrum 方法的实施、挑战和持续发展进行了研究。本研究旨在了解 Scrum 如何才能有效地满足不同组织环境的需求,尤其是在涉及远程和分布式团队的情况下,同时还试图揭示敏捷实践不断发展的轨迹。本综述采用严谨的方法,分析了 2013 年至 2024 年间发表的同行评审文章和会议论文,这些文章和论文来自主要的学术数据库,包括 IEEE Xplore、ACM Digital Library 和 Scopus。选择的依据是与 Scrum 实践的相关性、经验证据以及对敏捷开发领域的理论贡献。研究的主要观点强调了 Scrum 在增强产品开发流程的协作性、灵活性和响应性方面的关键作用。所发现的挑战包括克服组织阻力的必要性,以及根据具体项目和团队动态定制 Scrum 实践的重要性。值得注意的是,研究强调了 Scrum 在通过战略沟通和建立信任措施支持分布式团队方面的适应性。此外,研究还指出,Scrum 与 DevOps 的整合及其在软件开发之外的应用,表明了其在敏捷方法论中的发展潜力。最后,研究为采用 Scrum 的组织提供了战略建议,强调文化适应、持续培训和实践定制。研究还提出了未来的研究方向,特别是探索Scrum与新兴技术的整合以及更广泛的行业应用,为通过Scrum方法提高敏捷产品开发效率提供有价值的见解。关键词Scrum方法、敏捷产品开发、分布式团队、持续演进。
