Course Description

The initial week sees the students guiding beginning students on agile and lean development while developing their two different team ideas. This is followed up with a focus on knowing that the team is developing the 'right feature at the right time' at a high level of quality so that the team can pivot easily if/when they need to as they learn more about their customers. The teams will also focus on both continuous integration of their software, and continuous improvement of their own processes so that they steadily improve their working habits as well as their software development process. As each product the teams 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.
