The research conducted on Scrum adoption is mainly qualitative and there is therefore a need for a quantitative study on Scrum adoption challenges. The primary objective of this paper is to present the findings of a study on the factors that have a significant relationship with Scrum adoption as perceived by Scrum practitioners working within South African organizations. Towards this objective, a narrative review to extract and synthesize the existing challenges was conducted. These synthesized challenges were used in the development of a conceptual framework for evaluating the challenges that have a correlation and linear relationship with Scrum adoption. Following this, a survey questionnaire was used to test and evaluate the factors forming part of the developed framework. The findings indicate that Relative Advantage, Complexity, and Sprint Management are factors that have a significant linear relationship with Scrum adoption. Our recommendation is that organizations consider these findings during their adoption phase of Scrum.enAdoption challengesAgile methodologiesDiffusion of InnovationMultiple linear regressionNarrative reviewQuantitative researchScrumConference PresentationHanslo, R., Mnkandla, E., & Vahed, A.
