Scrum agile framework in e-business project management: an approach to teaching scrum

Abstract

With the rise of agile within companies worldwide, it is crucial for information systems education to keep up with this trend to ensure curriculum and courses are up-to-date. The topic of agile in teaching and learning is critically important. This paper attempts to point out the need to understand and implement learning about the agile approach to education. The aim of the paper is to explain Scrum and its application in student education in IT project management areas. We propose a method for managing students’ project using Scrum, which enables students to learn the subject matter in a project-oriented approach. The idea is that students who study IT project management learn Scrum by leading another student team making an IoT project. The implementation was provided at The Department of e-business, Faculty of Organisational Sciences. In conclusion, the results of teaching Scrum in this way are presented and show that scrum application has a positive impact on project implementation and student education.
