The paper introduces the "agile requirements refinery", a method for applying Scrum principles to software product management. It describes how product managers can manage complex requirements in an agile development environment. A case study of one company illustrates how agile methods were applied to software product management. The case study experiences provide lessons learned for other companies looking to apply agile principles to their product management processes.

3. Abstract
Context: Although agile software development methods such as SCRUM is gaining
popularity, the consequences of applying agile principles to software product
management have received little attention until now.
Objective: In this paper, this gap is filled by the introduction of a method for the
application of SCRUM principles to software product management.
Method: A case study research approach is employed to describe and evaluate this
method.
Results: This has resulted in the agile requirements refinery, that enables product
managers to cope with complex requirements in an agile development
environment. A case study is presented to illustrate how agile methods can be
applied to software product management.
Conclusions: The experiences of the case study company are provided as a set of
lessons learned that will help others to apply agile principles to their software
product management process.

35. Conclusion
SCRUM development method shows that an agile
development process implies an environment that is dynamic
and to which it is constantly adapting, be it in a controlled,
effective way. It is not hard to imagine that such a dynamic
development environment requires an SPM process that is
adequately adapted to this. The effect of this is an increased
demand for agile SPM processes. The main contribution of
this work has been the description of an innovative SPM
process based on agile principles. The textual description
along with process-deliverable diagrams both for the software
development as well as the SPM processes allows effective
reuse of the described method in other companies that find
themselves in a comparable situation.
