Abstract

Even though not every project is conducted in an agile way, the numbers are increasing considerably. “In 2002, agile projects made up less than 2 % of overall projects and less than 5 % of new application development projects. Today, agile projects account for almost 9 % of all projects and 29 % of new application development projects […]” (Standish 2011, p. 1). The most popular member of the agile family is Scrum. According to a Forrester survey (2012, p. 15), 81.5 % of the respondents are using Scrum. VersionOne (2013, p. 5) is backing this tendency by stating that 72 % of their respondents are using Scrum at least partially. Other agile methods play a minor role (cf. VersionOne 2011, 2013; Standish 2011; Forrester 2012).
This chapter explains why it is important to define a Scrum Culture, how the goals of the research project were defined, the scientific approach, and the originally expected results.
