Implementation of SCRUM Methodology in Programming Courses

Abstract

This paper presents suggestions for creating a syllabus of programming courses, especially focusing on the development of mobile applications. At the same time, an agile method is proposed to implement the learning process to bring benefits for students. On the basis of a comparison of student results from previous runs of the particular course, this paper confirms the improvement of students' motivation by using SCRUM methodology with combination of automated testing towards classical learning methods. At the same time, authors present personal experiences and suggestions for use in other programming courses.
