Summary
Today's software projects present many challenges. The organization is distributed, developers are often spread around the globe, the requirements are changing rapidly and the time from problem formation to delivery has been shortened significantly.
The goal of the seminar is a better understanding of these challenges and how they can be addressed by software project management techniques.
We focus on agile project management techniques in the context of managing the development of complex software systems in the context of rapid change.
The course is offered to highly motivated students interested in learning about software project management and applying new technologies in addressing some of its challenges.
The seminar consists of two components, presentations and exercises.
The seminar component focuses on the presentation of recent advances in management and technology with respect to the management of large complex software development projects. The topics for the presentations are selected from the current literature on agile technology. Topics include agile meeting management, agile estimation and project planning, traceability in the context of changing requirements, as well as agile build and release management techniques.
The goal of the exercise component is to deepen the understanding of the concepts discussed in the seminar component. Each seminar participant has to design and lead an exercise involving agile management techniques which is performed by the other seminar participants.
