**Course Title:** Agile Methodologies: Principles and Practices **Section Title:** Final Project and Course Review **Topic:** Present final projects demonstrating Agile principles and practices.(Lab topic) **Objective:** The objective of this lab is to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of Agile principles and practices by presenting their final projects. Students will apply the knowledge gained throughout the course to develop and present a comprehensive Agile project, showcasing their ability to integrate Agile methodologies, tools, and techniques in a real-world scenario. **Lab Instructions:** For this lab, students will work individually or in teams to develop a comprehensive Agile project that demonstrates the application of Agile principles and practices. The project should include the following components: 1. **Project Overview:** Provide a brief overview of the project, including the problem statement, goals, and objectives. 2. **Agile Methodology:** Describe the Agile methodology used in the project, including the framework (e.g., Scrum, Kanban), roles, and ceremonies. 3. **Project Plan:** Present a detailed project plan, including the sprint plan, backlog, and roadmap. 4. **Agile Metrics:** Discuss the Agile metrics used to measure project progress and success, such as velocity, burn-down charts, and lead time. 5. **Tools and Technologies:** Identify the tools and technologies used in the project, including Agile project management tools, version control systems, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. 6. **Iteration and Reflection:** Describe how the team iterated and reflected on the project, including sprint retrospectives and lessons learned. 7. **Lessons Learned:** Highlight the key lessons learned from the project, including successes, challenges, and areas for improvement. **Presentation Guidelines:** The presentation should be 15-20 minutes long and include the following: 1. **Introduction:** Introduce the project and provide an overview of the problem statement and goals (2-3 minutes). 2. **Project Plan:** Present the project plan, including the sprint plan, backlog, and roadmap (4-5 minutes). 3. **Agile Metrics:** Discuss the Agile metrics used to measure project progress and success (3-4 minutes). 4. **Tools and Technologies:** Identify the tools and technologies used in the project (2-3 minutes). 5. **Iteration and Reflection:** Describe how the team iterated and reflected on the project, including sprint retrospectives and lessons learned (4-5 minutes). 6. **Lessons Learned:** Highlight the key lessons learned from the project, including successes, challenges, and areas for improvement (3-4 minutes). 7. **Conclusion:** Summarize the project and provide final thoughts (2-3 minutes). **Deliverables:** The student will submit the following deliverables: 1. **Presentation:** A 15-20 minute presentation that covers the project overview, Agile methodology, project plan, Agile metrics, tools and technologies, iteration and reflection, and lessons learned. 2. **Project Artifact:** A working demonstration of the project, including the Agile project management tool, version control system, and CI/CD pipeline. **Grading Criteria:** The presentation will be graded based on the following criteria: 1. **Content** (40%): Depth and accuracy of the Agile principles and practices demonstrated in the project. 2. **Organization** (20%): Clarity and organization of the presentation. 3. **Communication** (20%): Effectiveness of communication, including verbal and visual presentation skills. 4. **Technical Skills** (20%): Demonstration of technical skills, including Agile project management tool, version control system, and CI/CD pipeline. **Resources:** * **Agile Methodologies: Principles and Practices** textbook * [Agile Alliance](https://www.agilealliance.org/) * [Scrum Alliance](https://www.scrumalliance.org/) * [Kanban University](https://kanban.university/) * [Atlassian Agile Project Management](https://www.atlassian.com/agile) * [Version Control Systems (e.g., Git, GitHub)](https://github.com/) * [CI/CD Pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI)](https://www.jenkins.io/) **Comments and Questions:** Please leave your comments and questions regarding this lab assignment in the comments section below.
