Popis: Scrum technologies have been applied in business software for two decades and are an important part of organizations' innovation processes. This exploratory study examines whether the use of Scrum within an organization can be detected from its financial statements by reviewing references to scrum in corporate financial reports filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). While scrum use is widespread in software development, there are very few references to scrum in corporate financial reports. Fewer than one-half percent of businesses filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission include scrum capabilities in their business strategy or business competency sections. It appears that senior management has not yet recognized the value of the technology and evaluated its impact on investor evaluation of business prospects. Investors need to seek other media to evaluate scrum implementation at the business.
