The Compare of Solo Programming Strategies in a Scrum Team: A Multi-agent Simulation Tool for Scrum Team Dynamics

Scrum is an agile framework within which people can address complex problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value. A strategy is a way that people going to solve problems based on the existing situation. Team strategy research is different from team composition and how it affects the performance. Team composition can affect the performance is an existing knowledge, without doing simulation, we still can know how personality and capability can affect its performance. But strategy and task allocations methods are a further research go beyond that, particular in an environment, such as scrum, that has an aim for why the team needs to be composed. With the same team, the same task but different strategy can cause significant various outcome for each sprint. This is the way that agent-based modelling is more useful than just say that team composition can affect its work. And based on the current information, to do investigation on how team composition can affect performance will needs various teams, but how strategies can affect team performance will only need the same team to be compared. Scrum is the major motivation that why team needs a strategy to work, the purpose of this strategy is not to investigate how team composition can affect the work but more about how to use the existing affect from the team composition to get the Scrum success rate enhanced, as in real world, we could not change the team as the company only has the team to do the job, but we can change the way that they are doing the job.
