在地球仪的许多大学里，教授敏捷实践已经在软件工程课程中找到了自己的位置。因此，教育工作者和学生已经接受了不同的方式来应用敏捷实践在他们的课程通过讲座，游戏，项目，研讨会和更有效的理论和实践学习。在大学环境中实践敏捷给学生带来了挑战，为了应对这些挑战，他们对标准敏捷实践进行了一些调整，使其在大学环境中更有效，更容易使用。这项研究描述了学生在奥克兰大学教授的大学课程中应用敏捷实践时所面临的限制，包括难以为所有团队成员建立共同的工作时间，由于忙碌的时间表和学生为适应大学环境而引入的敏捷实践所做的修改，例如减少频率的日常站立，结合sprint会议，并从团队中轮流使用campaign master。此外，根据学生的反映，总结了这些修改的有效性。还为教育工作者和学生提供了建议。我们的研究结果和建议将帮助教育工作者和学生更好地协调和应用敏捷实践在大学环境中的行业项目。
Teaching agile practices has found its place in software engineering curricula in many universities across the globe. As a result, educators and students have embraced different ways to apply agile practices during their courses through lectures, games, projects, workshops and more for effective theoretical and practical learning. Practicing agile in university contexts comes with challenges for students and to counter these challenges, they perform some adaptations to standard agile practices making them effective and easier to use in university contexts. This study describes the constraints the students faced while applying agile practices in a university course taught at the University of Auckland, including difficulty in setting up common time for all team members to work together, limited availability of customer due to busy schedule and the modifications the students introduced to adapt agile practices to suit the university context, such as daily stand-ups with reduced frequency, combining sprint meetings, and rotating scrum master from team. In addition, it summarizes the effectiveness of these modifications based on reflection of the students. Recommendations for educators and students are also provided. Our findings and recommendations will help educators and students better coordinate and apply agile practices on industry-based projects in university contexts.
