Goals
The students understand several different models of scaled agile software development, that is, agile development encompassing multiple cooperating teams. They understand basic and intermediate methods of hybrid, predictive, and adaptive project management in such agile environments and are able to apply them. They can design a project plan and validate it with suitable methods. They can participate in the project management team of such a hybrid effort and take responsibility for substantial parts of the project management, including managing staff. They can lead a simple project alone.
Contents
Students learn the principles, methods and procedures of scaled agile software production using established models (e.g. Scaled Agile Framework) and project management using a recognized methodology (e.g. “Project Management Body of Knowledge” (PMBoK)) and practice their practical application. They develop agile principles and values as well as Scrum and practise both. In addition, they discuss and practise planning the scope of the product and coordinating several teams working together on it, the necessary processes and the roles involved. They also learn about all areas of project management, discuss their application and practise some of their implementation:
- Project creation, definition and project scope planning,
- project planning,
- project process control, status determination and reporting,
- Project organization and embedding a project in the executing organization,
- Management without formal power,
- project communication,
- Leading a project team and quality management
