Abstract

In Scrum-based projects, delivering precise assessments of requirement changes to stakeholders holds paramount importance for effective software project management. Accurate evaluations empower stakeholders to make informed decisions, preventing costly misunderstandings and fostering shared expectations. The integration of Software Size measurements has significantly contributed to achieving this goal. This paper endeavors to automatically enhance the accuracy of evaluating requirement changes and prioritizing tasks within the Scrum process by leveraging the standardized COSMIC FSM (ISO 19761) along with its extended Structural Size Measurement method. The proposed automated framework, named ’MPED-SCRUM,’ stems from the automation of the requirement change evaluation process based on Measuring, Prioritizing, Evaluating and Deciding on requirement change, incorporating both functional and structural change. MPED-SCRUM proves beneficial not only for the Administrator but also for the Scrum Master and Product Owner in effectively managing team members (Module 1). Furthermore, the framework aids both the Scrum Master/Product Owner and development teams in efficiently handling sprint backlogs and user stories (Module 2). Lastly, MPED-SCRUM facilitates the measurement, prioritization, evaluation and decisions making of requirement change requests at two granularity levels – functional and structural. This capability empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding the acceptance, deferral, or denial of a change request (Module 3).
