Purpose- The purpose of the study is to investigate whether scrum can be of use in a visualplanning system in a research environment with no connection to software development.Design/Methodology/Approach- A cyclical action research approach was used, implyingthat the researchers took part in the design and development of the studied visual planningsystem.Findings- The scrum influences brought increased structure and efficiency to the studiedresearch process and increased the quality of the cooperation and communication betweenthe researchers. To function well in the non-software environment, the scrum techniqueshad to be complemented with visual long term planning.
