Abstract

Agile methods in software development projects gained importance and have become widely accepted in recent years. The high application rate in commercial software development finds it counterpart in academic research and externally funded university projects but is seldom taught and applied in practical student courses. On the basis of a case study, this paper briefly describes the education of agile techniques in large scale student projects at the Chair for Applied Software Engineering of Technische Universitat Munchen.
