Łukasz D. Sienkiewicz, Leszek A. Maciaszek · 2011
Large number of scientific publications and press releases demonstrate that organizations are adopting the Scrum software development method with success in almost all areas. Nevertheless, traditional Scrum method is not sufficient for managing work in Network Organizations where Third Party Service providers may know nothing about the Scrum. This paper describes the findings of a field study that explores the Scrum in Network Organizations. We extended Scrum core roles and proposed changes in Scrum artifacts that help in adapting the Scrum method to work in Network Organization where changes and high competition are the cornerstone of the entire process.
