The project is a software development project in which student teams work with an industry partner who provides the idea for the project. This is a practical hands-on experience. Students can play one of two primary roles:

• Product owner. In this function, a student defines, prioritizes, communicates, and reviews requirements. The total effort adds up to 5 ECTS.

• Software developer. In this function, a student estimates their effort for requirements and implements them. The total effort adds up to 10 ECTS.

Students will be organized into teams of 5-7 people, combining product owners with software developers. An industry partner will provide requirements to be worked out in detail by the product owners and to be realized by the software developers. The available projects will be presented at the beginning of the course.

Class is run as a 4 hour block with a 90min lecture followed by a guided 90min project coaching session. Rooms and times for project meetings are assigned in the beginning of the semester. For the schedule see http://goo.gl/BZpU8.
