This thesis is based on an actual case of transitioning from a traditional to an agile software development methodology on an enterprise resource planning project, which is being developed in one of Slovenian companies. It describes the problems, that the development team faced with the traditional method and the reasons for transitioning to an agile methodology. It includes brief descriptions of extreme programming and kanban, and a more in depth description of Scrum, which was the chosen methodology for the project. It also describes certain customizations of the method, which were deemed necessary due to specific nature of the project, followed by an analysis of the original problems and how they were affected by the change in methodology. In the end, possible improvements for the future are addressed.
