Abstract

The growing demand for software products worldwide, in various areas of knowledge, means that software development teams are forced to use agile development methodologies that optimize time and resources. However, using SCRUM in software projects contributes to management, but it does not describe the development process; Due to the agile eXtreme Programming (XP) methodology, this process is provided in detail. This article focuses on the analysis of a large amount of research related to these approaches, to propose to the software development teams a framework validated by experts that combines these two powerful strategies, showing in detail the minimum technical deliverables in each phase of software development; complementing with other suggestions obtained from the expertise of the evaluators of the proposal. The first section details the fundamental concepts of SCRUM; Next, the XP methodology is described, then, it focused on analyzing previous studies of the combination of these strategies and then theoretically generating a detailed three-stage framework that combines SCRUM strategies with XP fortitude, which is employable in any type of software project; along with the minimum documentation required to expedite development work. Then the results obtained from the evaluation rubric are concluded and, finally, the open research directions on this topic are defined.
