Monitoramento e Controle de Projetos de Desenvolvimento de Software com o Scrum: Avaliação da Produção Científica

The main objective of this study is to perform a bibliometric evaluation on control and monitoring processes in software development projects managed through Scrum method, covering the last five years of scientific production. For this, a bibliometric research was conducted for publications in Capes – papers, dissertations and thesis – and Web of Knowledge databases, when the relevance of the papers found was determined by h-index. Based on the publications selected, it was identified the main approaches about those monitoring and control processes. The research outcomes indicate a small amount of scientific production related to monitoring and control in software development projects under agile methods, even smaller for those under Scrum method, which suggests research opportunities and related increase of scientific production about this theme. Indeed, the analysis of the publications approaches suggests the balance of monitoring and control mechanisms of agile and traditional methods as an emergent theme.
