Motivation

SAS shows very promising results at first view, there are also disappointing findings

  • Development cost
  • Software quality
  • Software maintainability

have not really improved as much as expected

and Agile Education …

  • What does this mean for teaching agile

software development?

  • Which skills and competences do the students

need?

Pyramid of Agile Competences

  • Technical skills or engineering

practices, i.e. unit testing, clean code, test-driven development, collective code ownership etc.

  • Engineering practices are

mostly competences that refer to the single individual

  • Software Craftsmanship
  • builds the foundation of the

pyramid

SLIDE 15

Pyramid of Agile Competences

  • Agile management practices

define how agile projects are

  • rganized and run
  • I.e. iterative planning, short

release cycles, small releases, strong customer involvement and highly interactive teams

  • Management practices are

typically team aspects, which require appropriate social competences

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Pyramid of Agile Competences

  • On top of these competences

come the agile values, which are articulated in the Agile Manifesto

  • i.e. are characteristics like

mutual respect, openness, and courage

  • The most difficult to teach

Agile Education Concept

  • All three levels should be considered
  • Bachelor and Master level
  • Appropriate teaching methods should be

applied

Agile Software Engineering Course

  • 16-week semester class in the last year of the

undergraduate level (B.Sc.)

  • The students completed one Java programming

project in an agile team of six to eight members during the course of the semester

  • Per week there were a 2 hours lecture with the

whole class and a 2 hours programming workshop with half the class

  • 27 students were enrolled
