Applying Verbal Decision Analysis in the Selecting Practices of Framework SCRUM

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 278))

Abstract

Considering that agile methodologies, in focus Framework SCRUM, are each time more popular for Development Software Companies, and noticing that the mentioned companies can’t always apply every characteristics of the framework, this paper presents an application of the Verbal Decision Analysis (VDA) methodology ORCLASS to select some of the characteristics to be applied in the company, considering the preferences elicitation of a decision maker.
