Barreiras para a implementação de metodologia ágil no gerenciamento de projetos de engenharia

Abstract

Organizations have been looking for solutions to differentiate themselves, in an increasingly demanding and competitive market, in terms of flexibility and innovation. In this context, agile project management methodologies come into play, such as the Scrum tool. This study aims to identify possible barriers to the implementation of Scrum in Engineering projects. To achieve the proposed objective, in-depth interviews were conducted with project managers from the engineering sector of a railway logistics company. As a result, the following barriers were identified: the presence of non-standard processes, existence of projects with a closed goal and scope, work overload, resistance to change, in addition to an organizational culture refractory to the implementation of agile methodologies.
