| Abstract [eng] |
Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) has launched an interdisciplinary Product Development module, which can be chosen by students from more than 30 different first-cycle study programs. The goal of this module is to connect researchers, lecturers, social partners, and student teams for joint work, to create a product or service from idea to prototype. As mentors in this module, we applied the SCRUM method for product development. SCRUM is a flexible programming project management method based on the effective collaboration of the team participating in the project. This method is widely used in IT companies during software development projects, but still not in student teaching. The results (we provide example) show that such a method was successful, product created by the students meet the requirements of the customer or the needs of users and provide coordinated desired functionality. Moreover, this method helps to learn not only academic knowledge but also develops students' soft skills. |
