This document discusses using Scrum, an agile project management framework, in a classroom setting to help students acquire competencies. Key aspects of applying Scrum in a classroom include: - Dividing learning into short "sprints" of around 2 weeks to focus on small learning goals. - Students act as a self-organizing "development team" to achieve learning goals, while the teacher serves as "product owner" and "scrum master". - Daily stand-up meetings help synchronize activity and create plans to achieve the next day's learning goals. - At the end of each sprint, students deliver a potentially "releasable increment" of new competencies.

5. product owners – need for next 30 days (or less)
development teams – build and show … then po choose next step
scrum master – ensure this process happens smoothly as possible
… the product is build !
scrum team2
self organizing
cross functional

6. Those performing the work and those accepting the work product
must share a common definition of “Done”

no change during sprint may endanger sprint goal
« done » useable, potentially releasable increment
product is build
3 sprint
HEB-ÉSI · Pierre Bettens (pbt) · 12 / 21

13. sprint planning
time-boxed, 8 hours for 1 month sprint
sprint goal: what can be delivered in the increment
how the work
needed be
achieved ?
4 sprint planning
what can be delivered ?

14. HEB-ÉSI · Pierre Bettens (pbt) · 14 / 21
next sprint is based on: product backlog, projected capacity
of development team and past performance

15. HEB-ÉSI · Pierre Bettens (pbt) · 15 / 21
5 daily scrum
stand up daily
15 minutes time-boxed (stand up) meeting
synchronize activity and create plan for next 24h
fix technical problems
