The group will have to adopt and simulate the practices typical of a SCRUM team. The group will have to apply the methodologies and the tools explained during lecture hours.
- The course also foresees a final written exam in which the student will have to answer questions and solve exercises on the different parts of the course. The exam will last around 2 hours. Students willing to improve their final mark can ask for an additional oral examination.
