Synopsis:

Software engineering has surfaced as an industrial field that is continually evolving due to the emergence of advancing technologies and innovative methodologies. Scrum is the most recent revolution that is transforming traditional software procedures, which has researchers and practitioners scrambling to find the best techniques for implementation. The continued development of this agile process requires an extensive level of research on up-to-date findings and applicable practices. Agile Scrum Implementation and Its Long-Term Impact on Organizations is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of scrum practices in developing agile software systems. The book combines perspectives from both the academic and professional communities as the challenges and solutions expressed by each group can create a better understanding of how practice must be applied in the real world of software development. While highlighting topics including scrum adoption, iterative deployment, and human impacts, this book is ideally designed for researchers, developers, engineers, practitioners, academicians, programmers, students, and educators seeking current research on practical improvements in agile software progression using scrum methodologies.
