Abstract: In the teaching-learning processes, research and continuous innovation are encouraged. Now, when talking about innovation, the concept of adapting methodologies that have been successfully applied to speed up and increase the quality of software projects begins to emerge, is the case of agile software development methodologies. Scrum is one of the most widely used methodologies in the software development process, it increases productivity and deliverable quality of software development teams, but there is not much evidence of how to use it to structure learning content and its use to transfer new knowledge in training or software development contexts. To fill this gap, this research analyzes the applicability of Scrum for transferring new knowledge among software developers is developed. In this paper, we describe the details of how to start transferring knowledge using Scrum, guiding the reader through its standards, processes, phases, and objectives. We also report an experiment for improving students' performance to support the approach's benefits in the academy context and a case study performed inside the company context.
