Insights into Using Agile Development Methods in Student Final Year Projects, by Roy I. Morien http://informingscience.org/proceedings/InSITE2004/087morie.pdf, Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology
Abstract: The paper will report upon the experiences and reflections of undergraduate students undertaking industrial development projects, as part of their curriculum, in the situation where they have been required to utilize a prototyping / agile / lightweight methodology. The paper is partly evangelistic (demonstrating the author’s enthusiasm for a particular development methodological viewpoint), and partly methodological (discussing the characteristics of, and success in using, a particular methodological approach). A clear position in support of agile development methods is taken, and a particular method, called the Focal Entity Prototyping Approach, published by the author, is a main item of interest in this discussion.
Student Experience of Using Agile Development Methods in Industrial Experience Projects, by Roy I. Morien http://isedj.org/4/103/ISEDJ.4(103).Morien.pdf, Information Systems Educational Journal, Volume 4, Number 103, October 24, 2006
Abstract: This paper will report upon the experiences and reflections of undergraduate students undertaking industrial experience projects in their IT/IS courses. The students utilized an agile, adaptive development approach, sometimes known as a lightweight methodology, or an evolutionary, incremental approach. This paper discusses the experience of the students, as stated in a substantial feedback questionnaire, and weekly diaries.
