Give It Your Best Shot: Favorite Lectures from Agile Teachers

Abstract

College instructors are incorporating agile methods into their courses throughout the curriculum. Industrial trainers are focusing on effective ways of introducing agile techniques to their clients. We now have a significant amount of experience from which to draw upon for adding agile to our courses. This panel brings together four experienced teachers of agile methods to present their most effective techniques for teaching one or more agile practices to their class members. Each panelist will present a 10-15 minute mini-lecture and explain why they find it to be their most effective. After the presentations there will be a half hour question-and-answer period with time for discussions with the panelists. Audience members will be encouraged to discuss their experiences with the type of teaching presented by the panelists, and share their own favorite techniques.
