Abstract

Flexible development processes and robust designs are crucial for today's highly dynamic project environments. Agile methods such as Scrum have gained popularity over the years as an effective approach to address these challenges. Although known for providing flexibility, these methods often lack robustness in designs. Pursuing multiple design concepts can be more advantageous when faced with unforeseen changes and uncertainty. Set-based design (SBD) involves the development of alternative designs in a dynamic setting that, as a result, are both robust and flexible. In this paper, we provide a practical approach to combine SBD with the Scrum methodology by using sprint backlogs. It has been proved that the application of SBD, even in small agile projects, can have advantages. We present our results in a product-oriented way to increase the applicability of our approach.
