Resumo


Este estudo explora como as práticas do Scrum foram ajustadas para o trabalho remoto e híbrido durante e após a pandemia de COVID-19, utilizando o método Delphi para coletar percepções de Scrum Masters. Os resultados preliminares destacam a comunicação como o principal desafio, levando a ajustes na estrutura das reuniões, nas práticas de compartilhamento de informações e nas ferramentas de colaboração. As equipes reestruturaram cerimônias, introduziram novas reuniões e implementaram mecanismos persistentes de compartilhamento de informações para melhorar o trabalho.
