Scrum Customization to Manage Product Design Modifications in a White Line Manufacturing Company

Investing in project management tools has become a strategic concern for companies in dynamic markets such as domestic appliances in white goods. Agile methodologies, particularly Scrum, have gained popularity due to their ability to reduce bureaucracy, help customer collaboration, and empower employees. However, the lack of clarity in the definition of agility and the challenges of adopting this management method can hinder its effective implementation. The aim of this study is to propose a customized version of the Scrum method and its implementation for managing product design changes in a white-line manufacturing company. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to explore the operational and conceptual aspects of traditional project management (PMBOK) and agile management methods (Scrum) and the methods for implementing them. To customize Scrum to the company’s specific needs, data collection was conducted together with those involved in the sector activities and these data to identify were exhibited through a flowchart. The representation was used to identify the work packages that needed to be managed and considered in the Scrum customization. The proposed Scrum configuration was then evaluated in the field to evaluate its performance in managing project changes. By customizing Scrum to the company’s unique requirements, this study provides practical insights into the implementation of agile project management in a white-line industry context. The proposed methodology was applied to enhance project modification management and improve the outcomes of these procedures.
