the implementation of Scrum by Apoio Consultoria Júnior

Abstract

Junior Companies (EJs) offer the market several consulting projects, according to their areas of expertise. Each EJ has a particular way of planning and executing projects, and Agile Approaches, such as Scrum, are being used more and more. Thus, this article aims to analyze the application of Scrum in Project Management at Apoio Consultoria, a Junior Company of the Undergraduate courses in Administration and Information Management at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). We verified how the implementation was carried out, as well as its applicability. For this, semi-structured interviews were carried out with five post-juniors who worked in the support during and/or after the implementation. The interviews were transcribed, and descriptive and content analysis were performed using RStudio and the MAXQDA® software. The study found that Scrum helped to improve the project management and execution, making deliveries more agile and assertive, although it was not implemented entirety. We concluded that, despite the difficulties during its implementation, it was possible for the approach to be adapted to the reality of the EJ.
