Applying Scrum with Use Cases (Agile) Course

Course Code: IN 813
Course Abstract:

Leveraging the use case requirements approach and Scrum’s agile project management approach gives you the ability to quickly develop working software that meets business needs. In Scrum, teams work in 30 day sprints to produce production-quality software driven by business priorities and using an empirical, adaptive approach. This course explains this approach’s values, key techniques, and how each team member contributes to success. This course blends ideas from Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), the Rational Unified Process (RUP), and user-centered design (UCD).

You will learn how to build a product backlog using a use case model as input, and how to plan and work in 30 day sprints. You will apply what you learn in a series of exercises that take you through project start-up, sprint planning, and running a sprint.

Audience: This course is designed for individuals who will actively participate in a project using this approach. People on the edges of the project (secondary customers, management staff, and participants in related processes) will also benefit.
