Learning Outcomes

This course has two components:
- One, Project Management Skills, aims at consolidating the student?s knowledge and practice of software project management strategies, specially using work agile approaches, and teamwork;
- The other, Project, promotes the practice of iterative and incremental agile software development processes by engaging students in developing a medium complex software application to solve a life-like problem.
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
CO1. Apply the required concepts required for the project development;
CO2. Select the best practices of SCRUM planning and application (scoping and time management in agile project management);
CO3. Apply the phases and major concepts of the iterative test-driven agile software development process (SDP) used in LAPR3, and plan and analyse the project's SDP;
CO4. Distinguish the multiple roles and responsibilities in the SDP (client, software developer, etc.) and select and use the appropriate tools and artefacts;
CO5. Develop an application using a test-oriented development process, supported by a version control system, by evaluating choices, using team and task management tools, and communicating effectively within the team.
