Abstract

Evidences in the literature show benefits associated with development with the use of agile methodologies. The Court of Auditors of the State of Mato Grosso has adopted a methodology based on the SCRUM and it is noticeable that the use of the new methodology has promoted an increase in the quality of the systems, reduced implementation time and increased communication and transparency. This article reports the construction and implementation of this methodology, which was built through action research and evaluated from the perspective of management. The challenges reported and lessons learned are of great relevance for organizations that aim to change the traditional development paradigm to agile in their contexts.
