The main purpose of the project is to integrate quantitative methods, measurements and techniques, derived from 6 Sigma, to the Scrum framework. This work was motivated by some companies which were working with Scrum, and needed a more robust measurement framework to monitor and control the performance of their projects and of the organization. These companies didn´t want to stop using Scrum, mainly due the benefits they felt using an agile methodology, but they felt they needed to integrate the concepts of statistical process control to better define the expected performance of projects and organizations. This project is happening right now, and the estimated schedule ends on January 2013. We are using Scrum to plan and execute the project.

April 2008-December 2011

The main purpose of the project was to help the organization to define software development and maintenance processes to be able to better manage their projects. CMMI-DEV (Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development) was used as a reference model to implement the processes. As deliverables of the project, we have the defined processes, policies, artifacts and work products to be use to better manage the projects developed at e-Core. The organization was defined by a set of projects of the Software Factory using Scrum. JIRA and Confluence were the tools used to help the teams communication. Besides Scrum, some of the practices of Extreme Programming were used by the engineering teams, to execute their tasks. Kanban was also being considered in order to help the institucionalization of Scrum practices.
