Abstract
Can research projects be agile? In this paper we describe our proposal of applying Scrum for the management of an European research project aimed at developing an agent-based software platform for European economic policy design. The use of an agile, adaptive methodology is justified because successful research projects are complex, unstable processes, that should be continuously adapted along their way. We describe in detail the roles, artifacts and practices of the proposed process, and the first steps of its adoption.
