description This article explores the application of the SCRUM methodology, a popular Agile framework, in social work with children and adolescents exhibiting conduct disorders and antisocial behaviour. Traditional social work models often struggle to adapt to the rapidly changing and complex needs of this high-risk population. The SCRUM framework, with its emphasis on continuous feedback, iterative processes, and interdisciplinary collaboration, offers a flexible and dynamic approach to care. By fostering teamwork between social workers, psychologists, and medical professionals, SCRUM facilitates real-time adjustments in interventions based on the evolving needs of the child. The article examines the benefits of empowering social work teams through SCRUM’s decentralized decision-making, which allows for proactive responses in crisis situations. The KIDSKöpfe gGmbH case study illustrates how SCRUM can be applied in practice, resulting in improved outcomes for children with complex behavioural issues. Despite the potential advantages, there remains a significant gap in the literature on SCRUM’s application in social work, particularly in managing conduct disorders. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for further research and case studies to explore SCRUM’s long-term impact in social work settings, particularly in addressing institutional barriers and regulatory challenges. The discussion highlights SCRUM’s potential to revolutionize social work by creating more flexible, responsive, and collaborative systems for managing high-risk children and adolescents.
