Abstract. The aim of the paper is to identify the problems and solutions of the software design in Scrum project as well as to analyze the effectiveness of the solutions. Through a series of workshops with 4 experts from IT industry and academia we have identified 52 problems and 99 unique solutions. In this paper we present a list of 10 common problems and 5 solutions for each problem selected by the number of sources. The effectiveness of the solutions to the given problems was evaluated in an opinion survey by 39 respondents with experience both in software design and in the Scrum framework. This evaluation provided for our initial recommendations on the choice of solutions to particular problems.
