Scrum Adoption Challenges in Higher Education in Indonesia: Case Study of Board of Information System, Universitas Islam Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract The level of success in project development information systems or software in many countries is still low. A study of 110 information system projects in Indonesia found that most information system projects are problematics, and 18% were canceled. Even though it has been around for a while, Scrum as an approach is relatively new in Indonesia’s software development. Many efforts to adopt agile in various organizations are not running well. This research aims to identify the challenges in agile adoption in a higher education organization in Indonesia using the Scrum Adoption Challenges Detection Model (SACDM) theory. The study found that even though Scrum is performing well, there are still some works needed. Especially in improving the experiences and transforming the organizational culture and structure to make the scrum adoption more effective.
