Use of Scrum in a Virtual Environment to Enhance Collaboration and Systemic Reasoning of Engineering Students

This paper provides evidence of positive impact in Engineering Students when applying the Scrum methodology within a virtual collaborative environment. An analysis of 17 students, using a modified version of T-TPQ, and a competence's behavior checklist from Tecnologico de Monterrey, showed that the methodology enhanced project monitoring, leadership, and systemic reasoning skills in students. However, no significant impact was perceived in mutual support, where students seem not to collaborate with the teamwork, and potential interpersonal conflicts are not intended to be solved.
