Introduction. In modern conditions, augmented reality is being actively implemented in education, the economy, sports, and other spheres. The implementation of the Scrum methodology is aimed at improving the accuracy of planning educational processes, reducing uncertainty in assessing scientific and research tasks, and improving the quality of sports education [2].

The aim of the study is to substantiate the potential of the SCRUM methodology for project management in a sports university.

Methodology and organization of the study. The study was conducted in four state-funded organizations in the Chelyabinsk region in the fields of education, physical culture, and sports.

Results and discussion. An analysis of the project management system in a sports university revealed that the Scrum methodology still lacks clear adaptation and does not allow for the application of standard Scrum practices [1]. To solve this problem, the following measures were identified and implemented in practice: abandoning the formation of a single backlog, with the team working iteratively, focusing on the current requests and priorities of the employees; forming a WBS and milestones with a "readiness" criterion, where the result is evaluated not only by the set of functions but also by how they work in a real environment; estimating labor intensity with adjustment coefficients based on the distribution of tasks among employees of different levels; calculating time reserves taking into account priorities and resource allocation, and building a timeline (a preliminary calendar plan of the project); sprint goals and management are brought to the YouTrack agile board, as multi-level verification is required; adapting Scrum events and communication for continuous feedback and rapid process improvement; organizing multi-level testing and feedback; managing feedback through sprint reviews to visually evaluate AR content and spatial interaction scenarios; monitoring the project management process and reporting; generating overview reports with metric calculations, which makes it possible to take into account the contribution of employees with different profiles.

Conclusion. The identified measures showed that significant positive changes have occurred across all key project management indicators. The Scrum methodology made it possible to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of project management in a sports university.
