Abstract
This thesis explores how to tailor an agile project management framework for two small Colombian companies: Canned Head Studios (software development) and Diip (film post-production, a process similar to software development). Motivated by the proliferation of agile methods and debate that pure Scrum improves quality and requirements but not cost or time, the study develops a tailoring approach grounded in the literature and supported by a case study. The aim is to identify which project management methodologies, when combined, best address the companies’ project management challenges. The findings indicate that integrating Scrum with Lean Software Development is the most beneficial option for these cases, aligning with statements in the literature and highlighting needs for further research discussed in the thesis.
Specialet undersøger, hvordan en agil projektledelsesramme kan skræddersys til to små colombianske virksomheder: Canned Head Studios (softwareudvikling) og Diip (film-postproduktion, en proces der ligner softwareudvikling). Drevet af udbredelsen af agile metoder og debat om, at ren Scrum forbedrer kvalitet og krav men ikke omkostninger og tid, udvikles en skræddersyningsmetode baseret på litteraturen og understøttet af et casestudie. Formålet er at identificere, hvilke projektledelsesmetoder, i kombination, bedst adresserer virksomhedernes projektledelsesudfordringer. Resultaterne peger på, at en integration af Scrum og Lean Software Development er mest fordelagtig i disse cases, hvilket stemmer overens med udsagn i litteraturen og fremhæver behov for videre forskning, som diskuteres i specialet.
