Abstract

Lean Six Sigma approach has been a successful manufacturing quality improvement tool. In the last decades, it has helped many services and product industries to achieve better performance and higher results. No wonder that the approach has aroused the interest of the software development industry. As result, some software companies have been trying to adopt Lean Six Sigma in their development processes, specifically in conjunction with agile methods. Based on some of these experiences this paper intends to propose the integration in the Scrum method the quality procedures defined on the Lean Six Sigma (LSS). By complementing the current generic quality procedures of Scrum method with more formalized and well-proven quality measures from LSS we intend to improve the efficacy and efficiency of Scrum.
