There is a high rate of software development projects that
fails. Whenever problems can be detected ahead of time,
software development projects may have better chances of
success, and therefore save money and time. In this paper,
we present a probabilistic model to help ScrumMasters to
apply Scrum in organizations. The model’s goal is to pro-
vide information to the project’s ScrumMaster to help him
to be aware of the project’s problems and have enough infor-
mation to guide the team and improve the project’s chances
of success. We published a survey to collect data for this
study and validated the model by applying it to scenarios.
The results obtained so far show that the model is promi-
sing.
