  Introduction of the Scrum approach into software engineering has changed the
way software is being developed. The Scrum approach emphasizes the active
end-user involvement, embracing of change, and /iterative delivery of products.
Our study showed that Scrum has different variants or is used in combination
with different methods. Some tools not normally used in the conventional
software approaches, like gamification, content analysis and grounded theory
are also employed. However, Scrum like other software development approach
focuses on improvement of software process, software quality, business value,
performance, usability and efficiency and at the same time to reduce cost, risk
and uncertainty. Contrary to some conventional approaches it also strives to
boost soft factors like agility, trust, motivation, responsibility and
transparency. The bibliometric synthetic scoping study revealed seven main
research themes concerned with the Scrum research.
