Abstract
The Moroccan National Institute of Agronomic Research “INRA” has set the design and development of a new Enterprise Resource Planning including three components: “Finance”, “Human Resources, Training and Payroll” and “Agronomic Research” as its objective in 2021. INRA used before the Waterfall method, it certainly had certain advantages given the constraints which pushed the IT department to use such a method, but little by little, the limitations of this methodology become more apparent, and a more agile method was required. An agile software development method Scrum was proposed to overcome the inability of the traditional waterfall method to meet changing needs at INRA. This chapter will describe the INRA's experience use of agility with the Scrum method. A description of the good practices recommended by Scrum and how the IT Department adapted and complied with them to achieve agility within the institute will be described.
