Agile & Scrum

Working iteratively in multidisciplinary teams: planning, prioritising and delivering in short cycles.

Why this module

Why this matters

AI projects are uncertain by definition: you don't know in advance exactly what the model can do. Working iteratively — starting small, learning fast, adjusting course — is the way to manage that uncertainty.

Almost every organisation works agile. Because all projects in the programme are carried out using Scrum, the rhythm of sprints, reviews and retrospectives becomes second nature to you.

Content

What you will learn

Application

Directly in your own practice

You carry out all projects in the programme using Scrum — in teams, with sprints and deliveries.

Sprint rhythm

Your project team delivers working functionality every two weeks and demonstrates it to the client.

Backlog choices

You learn to say no: what moves to later because it adds less value right now?

Retrospective

Every sprint, your team demonstrably improves itself on one point.

How you work

Learning alongside your job

You take this module the way you take the whole programme: classes every other week on Friday and Saturday, with a study load of 15–20 hours per week, of which 10–15 hours are self-study. The teaching is a mix of classroom lessons, practice-based learning, blended learning and working groups or study teams — taught by lecturers who practise the profession themselves every day.

You conclude each theme with a professional product or a technical solution based on a real situation in your own work, which you discuss in an assessment with the lecturer. This way your portfolio grows with real work — and your employer benefits directly.

By the end, working in agile teams comes naturally to you — and you can get one going yourself.
