Abstract

Do kraja prošlog stoljeća organizacije su počele uviđati da je primjena upravljanja projektima više stvar potrebe, a ne izbora. Iako se upravljanje projektima proširilo na gotovo sve grane gospodarstva, primjetno je kako je velik broj IT i ICT poduzeća značajno profitirao primjenjivanjem istog. Zbog sve veće popularnosti razvoja softvera u ovome inovativnom dobu iskazala se potreba za brojnim metodologijama kako bi se adekvatno upravljalo takvim kompleksnim projektima. Jedan od najpopularnijih izbora u ovim industrijama je Scrum okvir. Scrum okvir predstavlja način na koji se projekt izvodi uz određene artefakte, uloge i aktivnosti, koje u konačnici rezultiraju velikom vrijednosti za projekt. Svrha rada je ispitati izazove koji se pojavljuju prilikom korištenja Scrum okvira za razvoj softverskih projekta. Stoga, u teorijskom dijelu objašnjen je pojam agilnog upravljanja projektima, kao i njegove metodologije i okviri te je opširnije pojašnjen Scrum okvir. Također, pojašnjene su i specifičnosti upravljanja projektima razvoja softvera, točnije njegovi trendovi, odrednice i izazovi. Empirijski dio rada donosi istraživanje izazova upravljanja projektima razvoja softvera primjenom Scrum okvira za agilno upravljanje projektima u hrvatskim IT i ICT poduzećima. Istraživanje je provedeno anketom ispitujući 39 glavnih izazova sa Scrumom. Ista je upućena spomenutim poduzećima i zaprimila je po minimalno jedan odgovor (po poduzeću), od različitih relevantnih osoba unutar projektnog tima. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako se, usprkos brojnim prednostima Scrum okvira, poduzeća i dalje susreću sa značajnim brojem izazova različitih spektra. Unatoč tomu organizacije i dalje biraju Scrum okvir i isporučuju uspješne softvere.

Abstract (english)

By the end of the last century, organizations began to realize that the application of project management was more a matter of need rather than choice. Although project management has spread to almost all sectors of the economy, it is noticeable that a large number of IT and ICT companies have benefited significantly from its implementation. Due to the growing popularity of software development in this innovative age, the need for a number of methodologies to adequately manage such complex projects has emerged. One of the most popular choices in these industries is Scrum Framework. The Scrum framework represents the way a project is executed with certain role artifacts and activities that ultimately result in great value for the project. The purpose of this paper is to examine the challenges that arise when using the Scrum framework for software project development. Therefore, in the theoretical part, the concept of agile project management is explained, as well as its methodologies and frameworks, and the Scrum framework is explained in more detail. Also, the specifics of software development project management are clarified, more precisely its trends, determinants and challenges. The empirical part of the paper presents research on the challenges of software development project management using the Scrum framework for agile project management in Croatian IT and ICT companies. The research was conducted with a survey questionnaire examining 39 main challenges with Scrum. It was sent to the mentioned companies and received at least one response (per company) from different relevant persons within the project team. The results of the research showed that, despite the many advantages of the Scrum framework, companies still face a significant number of challenges across the spectrum. Despite this, organizations still choose the Scrum framework and deliver successful software.
