ScrumBoard: A Project Management Tool Purpose-Built for Software Engineering Education
This paper recounts our experiences with the ‘ScrumBoard’, a custom-built open-source digital project management tool specifically designed for software engineering project courses. We discuss how it has supported experiential learning pedagogy and assessment over multiple iterations of a two-semester, 3rd year project course, having now been used extensively by more than 200 students. While offering a similar experience to commercial software project management tools, we reflect on how the ScrumBoard has supported our ability to assess students more accurately and efficiently, and how the tool has enabled us to identify problematic work practices in real-time, allowing for earlier interventions from teaching staff and an improved learning experience for students.
