Abstract

This study aims to explore risk mapping as applied by private companies in the technology sector, in association with the Scrum method, to improve efficiency in project management. The general objective is to identify and analyze the use and approach of risk management in projects developed using agile methodologies, including Scrum, and to highlight the main advantages and challenges.

As a methodological procedure, a literature review was conducted based on scientific articles published in journals within the field, along with references from the PMBOK Guide, the Scrum Guide, and the book “Gerenciamento de Projetos Fora da Caixa” by Fabiana Bigão.

The results of the analysis indicate that, although Scrum does not provide a formal risk management process, it offers tools that, when used properly, can support the handling of uncertainties.

In the final analysis, it is concluded that the integration of risk mapping with the Scrum framework provides an approach aimed at value delivery and adaptability, helping to prevent failures in technology projects.
