Discussions on how to introduce new management methods into an organization are present in several papers.
Nerur et al. identify the key issues that involve migrating from traditional to agile by comparing main practices of the
two methodologies \cite{nerur2015challenges}. The authors point out managerial,
organizational, people, process, and technological issues to be rethought and
reconfigured in an organization for a successful migration. Strode et al.
investigate the correlation between adoption of agile methodologies and
organizational culture \cite{impactOfOrganizationalCulture}. They evaluate the
perception of organizational culture and the use of agile practices in nine
software development projects, identifying organizational culture factors that
are correlated to the implementation of agile methods.

How academia can collaborate with the industry in the management of software projects is also studied.
Chookittikul et al. evaluates the increasing use of the agile methods by software development organizations in
Thailand and suggests universities create a curricula which develops in
their undergraduate students practical skills required by industry (mainly
agile practices) to encourage the software industry growth in the region.
Sandberg et al.
report the implementation of Scrum in a collaborative research consortium
between industry and academia (involving ten industry partners and five
universities in Sweden) \cite{sandberg2017iacollaboration}.

New variables arise when a different approach to project management is introduced to complex and large-scale organizations, such as the public sector.
Alleman et al. describe a production deployment for the US
government, focus on describing the methodology applied to address long
term planning and value estimation \cite{alleman2003making}.
Agile methods application on the Brazilian public sector
are approached by Melo et al. and De Sousa et al.
\cite{melo2013agileBr,de2016using}, both are experiences limited to pilot
projects. Not production-ready one that will provide more accurate data with
the real world.  

This paper differentiates itself from others by describing a production level
software development collaboration between public sector and academia,
analyzing differences in the development process and administrative issues of
the two organizations, and evidencing empirical practices that harmonized the
interactions and satisfied the development and management process of both
sides.

% TODO: if needed, we can add this paper as related work
%% Staying Agile in Government Software Projects - reports how the agile culture and practices (XP and Scrum) were introduced in a development team working on a government project. Describes practices added, adapted and abandoned. They had a experienced small team that did not know agile. TODO: Not sure if any process had to be added/adapted/abandoned at the government side.
