About
Cristiane Pacheco is a researcher in software engineering education and project management, with a particular focus on the application of agile methodologies in academic settings. Her most influential work, "On the use of SCRUM for the management of practical projects in graduate courses" (2009, 17 citations), addresses a critical gap in graduate education: while hands-on projects are essential for knowledge consolidation, students often lack the skills to manage or be managed effectively, leading to wasted effort and inefficiency. Pacheco’s contribution lies in demonstrating how SCRUM—a framework typically reserved for industry—can be adapted to structure student teamwork, improve collaboration, and reduce time loss in academic projects. Her work has been cited by educators and researchers seeking to bridge theory and practice in software engineering curricula. By advocating for agile practices in higher education, Pacheco has helped shape modern pedagogical approaches that prepare students for real-world software development challenges. Her research remains a foundational reference for those exploring the intersection of agile methodologies and project-based learning in graduate programs.
