Um mapeamento sistemático sobre os métodos ágeis scrum, kanban, scrumban e extreme programming(xp)

Abstract

This study aimed to carry out a systematic mapping of the literature on agile methods scrum, kanban, scrumban and xP, in order to identify which methods have been most used by software development companies, the agile methods that provide more productivity for development teams of software, in addition it shows benefits of agile methods in relation to traditional methods. In the methodology, a process of selective, analytical and interpretative reading was carried out in order to select the most relevant studies for the research questions raised. The Start tool was used to support the mapping process, optimizing the process of searching for evidence in the scientific literature. As a result, this research shows Scrum as the agile method most used by software development companies, that agile methods are more advantageous than traditional methods due to adopting a lightweight approach, being iterative, incremental, among other benefits. In addition, it was possible to identify that it is not a specific method that generates productivity in agile teams, but factors that characterize the formation of a team, such as the size of the team, the type of project, the deadline and among other aspects.
