Abstract
In the context of managing digital enterprise transformation, the generation and distribution of knowledge across the entire organization is of great importance. Because existing processes are being questioned and activities are changing, the promotion of organizational learning should be part of the digital transformation strategy. This chapter uses the example of Scrum to show how organizational learning can be supported by agile working methods. After an introduction to organizational learning and to Scrum as a process of continuous improvement, the four elements of organizational learning are used and compared to the characteristic elements of Scrum. In addition, the author points out existing research gaps, especially in quantitative research, and gives practical advice for managers on how to use Scrum to promote organizational learning.
