Abstract


The Agile project management has become increasingly popular, offering alternatives to traditional processes. The implementation of the Scrum framework for managing software projects has also been widespread as an alternative since it is a less bureaucratic approach that facilitates the planning and project control. The software requirements management can be compromised in the medium and long-term since Scrum is based on histories as requirements and histories maintenance are not traceable during software product life cycle. This paper presents the results of applying the techniques of requirements management and Scrum on a software project management keeping the agility of Scrum and histories maintenance with requirements management.
Keywords: requirements management, agile practices, project management
