Scrum in software engineering courses: an outline of the literature

November 2, 2015

Agile methods are increasingly being adopted by software organisations all over the world [1]. In order to fulfil industry

Software Engineering 2004 Curriculum Model [2] did not pay enough attention to this issue, and until a few years ago
courses on agile methods were rather rare [3]. However, it is expected that the revision of this model, which is now in
draft version pending approval [4], will embrace agile as a valid part of the curriculum from the start [5].
