Research Café
Open Space Theme: Researching Agile Facilitator: Rashina Hoda Hosts: You! Topics
e.g. future of Agile research; fostering collaboration between research and industry; challenges of conducting research on Agile, etc.
The Law of Two Feet Discussion
Research Café
Quality in Agile Defining successful project (delivery on time, customer feedback,
respond to bugs, etc.) Developers are the field-workers
Devs need to show initiative, ownership, communicate with customers. Transparency vs. diplomacy (dev => customer) Own mistakes, fix, estimate fixing time Managers as enablers Challenges
Mini waterfall Developer attitude and grooming
Strategies (what to measure) Velocity (subjective) Customer acceptance (shorter iterations help) Bug rate Frequent customer feedback
Open Space Topics Summary
Pairing + Real Data in Agile Research Pairing
Effect of pairing on productivity No conclusive data either ways
Real Data Hard to get industrial data Convincing companies Team perspective Ideas?
Open Space Topics Summary
International Agile Education Consortium Getting feedback from students frequently Students afraid of testing – why test continuously? Bringing in interactivity Employability Applying Agile in classroom – apply Agile practices in education (colleges)
Self-help groups Student quality vs. teacher motivation Teachers as enablers (coaches)
Enabling change Self-directed learning (e-learning, khan academy) Getting teachers to buy-in Money not a motivator, but required for sustenance Teaching as a part-time => international + elite institutes in India allow for
research-led teaching Teachers of certain personality time (some people happy to be routine) Involving industry: create a group, make a pilot program IAEC google group Phase 1: create awareness in India, GOA university to host first pilot Phase 2: take it international Improve on Agile Manifesto for Education first draft
