Project and team management play a major role in the student teams´ projects performance. This is more evident when the projects last long time and the teams are large. In this work a student team accepted to use SCRUM as their project management methodology during their Project Based Learning (PjBL) experience. This PjBL experience took place on the 7 th semester of the Integrated Master in Industrial Engineering and Management degree. The team had a short period training on the technique and then applied it throughout the entire semester. Although not very enthusiastic in the beginning of the project the team gradually became aware on the advantages of SCRUM features recognizing the feeling of having the project under control and gaining management effectiveness throughout the semester. At the end the team performed well above the average being one of the two teams with the highest score of the class.
