If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ben Karniely.

In this talk I will describe some of the ways that we have applied lean and agile techniques to teaching software engineering (within a Computing degree) at Imperial College London. I will talk about the structure and evolution of our programme, which is centred on the tools, techniques and issues that feature in the everyday life of a professional software developer working in a modern team. I will also describe how aligning our teaching methods with the principles of lean and agile software delivery has enabled us to provide sustained high quality learning experiences. I’ll dive into two different types of course in detail: firstly a “traditional” lecture course, where we transformed the way that course is taught and assessed, aiming to create tighter feedback loops, and secondly project-based courses where we ask students to put agile methods into practice themselves, to build software in teams.
