Use Case Point (UCP) is a method of software estimation effort in software development based on Use Case model. Scrum is a framework for software development that can solve complex problems and always change. The aims of this study are finding the implementation of UCP as a method of estimating efforts software development with Scrum framework. The methodology of this research is identifying the estimation process with UCP and examine collaboration with Scrum Framework. The results of UCP and Scrum Framework collaborations will be simulated using a web-based project management system. The result of this research is an implementation of UCP and Scrum can be done by associate the User Stories on the Product Backlog with the Use Case on UCP and by modifying User Story attribute to Functionality and adding transaction attribute when defining the User Storie on Product Backlog.
