Agile methods have emerged as an alternative to traditional approaches to project management, being based on a series of twelve principles is premised on rapid response to development, leaving documentation and nonessential planning in the background. This change in vision popularized different frameworks, all seeking development with quality and speed. Scrum stands out among the agile project managers to have clear language and defined steps of implementation and may be used alone or in conjunction with other methods. In this sense the present study seeks to compare the compatibility between Scrum and two project management methods: PMBOK and PRINCE2. Both methods are originated from the empirical knowledge of numerous project managers, and are intended to be guides to good practice for all kinds of projects, but have quirks that imprison development in the area of information technology. The research has mainly focused on agile management of software development, Scrum being the focal point of analysis.
