466 9754 [email protected] Homework and project • HW • Designed to help you learn and get feedback on your learning in iterative chunks • Agile social skills: Collaborative, crowd-sourced HWs. You generate 30 unique questions, we all answer them. You get credit for your unique question and for answering all the questions. • Agile tech skills: Specific tech goal, assigned by course staff. You work in pairs or groups, submit code and evidence of collaboration. All team members receive same grade. • Project • Design, implement, and deliver a real software project, ideally for a real stakeholder and solving a real problem • Full Agile product delivery lifespan, from product vision and team formation to delivery of a working product increment • Work as Scrum teams. Demo product, code, and evidence of collaboration. All team members receive the same grade.
