The thesis describes the introduction of the Scrum agile methodology into a small company that deals with developing websites and web applications. It also analyzes the level of assimilation of the methodology and looks into the factors with the greatest influence on its acceptance.
General project management and project management with the Scrum agile methodology are described in the introductory chapters.
The next section shows a practical example of developing an additional functionality for a web application where Scrum methodology processes are used and described. Moreover, any deviation from the theory is justified with regard to the company's business and development processes.
The last section analyzes the acceptance of Scrum with the theory of diffusion of innovation to examine the extent of accepting individual methodology practices, the most important factors for their acceptance and how opinions of the developers compare with long-term acceptance of the Scrum hypotheses set by Overhage and Schlauderer.
