Teaching agile methods such as scrum for under-postgraduate students at universities
Iam interested in the topic of preparing the university students for being agile from early stage , so I need from you to share your experiences in teaching scrum as core part of curriculum to any faculty , how been taught ,in which year, tools and assessment and evaluation methods
thanks
My general advice is to frame it as part of organizational change and to explore it again in the context of innovation, and yet again when developing the professional soft skills a change agent needs. Tools, evaluation, and assessment methods ought to reflect all these dimensions.
When students join a corporate workforce they may find that only lip service is paid to agility, and this can be disconcerting. It is best to set their expectations and to prepare them accordingly.
I agree with @Ian. There is not a single place that agility fits. It is something that spans many disciplines, processes and needs. So it should be spread across multiple areas.
I would also suggest that you partner with someone in the Philosophy department and teach them empiricism. It is the heart of agility in my mind. It provides the "do something, learn from it, adapt if necessary" mentality that is often missing when an organization tries to be agile. I tool a philosophy elective way back when I was in college. In that course empiricism was covered for a month. I learned a lot about it and how it can impact lives. I found it useful in some of my computer science classes and have used it in my daily life ever since. The more that the students can understand and appreciate empiricism, the easier it will be for them to understand how an organization can introduce and sustain agility in their practices.
thanks alot with Regards
