Scrum is a type of agile process that incrementally, iteratively and continuously deliver software based on sprint time box. It is composed by User Stories, product backlog, sprint backlog, scrum team and sprints. Scrum team take user stories from product backlog into sprint backlog to start each sprint and deliver products at the end of each sprint. Sprint retrospective and review occurs at the end of each sprint to evaluate the delivered products and team performance. Based on the Scrum guide, scrum is easy to be understood but hard to be measured. Especially, it is depended largely on the performance of team dynamics referring to team compositions and task allocations, as its optimization make big impact on each sprint result. A new type of strategy called Intelligent pair strategies are tested in this paper to compare their performance under various task set and scrum team context.
