Abstract
As time to market and rapid reaction to changes in demand is much required, agile software development methodologies whose characteristics are great adaptability and short iteration developments are getting more popular. Though there have been a number of literature suggesting the great potential of agile software development, some recent studies have also mentioned its limitations. We believe there remains much confusion as to whether agile approaches are good to introduce or not. In an effort to provide 'real' characteristics of agile development, this paper evaluates Scrum, one of the most used agile approaches, using a software measurement framework. It also presents a Scrum measurement case study of a web portal company. We believe this study will provide some concrete guidelines as to whether Scrum is worth, what are weak points, and how to control the agile process in order to get over the weakness.
