Abstract:
This paper discusses what design students gain from implementing project management practices from the Scrum framework within a project-organised and problem-based learning environment. Experiments with Scrum are carried out in student groups of a bachelor programme in Industrial Design and a Robotics and Automation Group at Aalborg University. The results of the research project indicate improved focus and team efficiency when using Scrum as well as significant improvements on internal team communication and attitude.
