Course Description

The initial week teaches the students about agile and lean development while developing their team ideas and follows this up with work to develop their two different team ideas the rest of the term. While developing their application they also apply service design elements to ensure it meets the needs of their customers. As each product the teams will develop will differ, they will all understand how the general principles of agile and lean software development apply to their context, while also understanding the general ideas of service design and its specific application to their context.
