Description
One of the challenges in Project Management (PM) is the introduction of information technology in \ PM methodologies. To deal with this issu, the use of Web 2.0 technologies to support virtual work \ and virtual management of projects has gained attention in recent years. At the same time, the \ adoption of agile methodologies has grown to better assist mainly the management of information \ technology projects. This paper proposes a conceptual contribution through the use of Web 2.0 \ technologies in Scrum methodology. It suggests Web 2.0 tools to fit each artifact and event Scrum, \ which provide an environment for virtual management of projects. Such tools support meetings and \ knowledge sharing. It also presents the research qustions (RQ) and methods that will be used to \ conduct this work. RQ1 is "How can Web 2.0 technologies be integrated into Scrum methodology to \ monitor projects and store and share knowledge generated in the meetings?" and RQ2 is "To what \ extent do Web 2.0 technologies improve the performance of Scrum teams?" To address RQ1 and RQ2, \ we will use multiple case study and action research methods, respectively.
