Abstract
Many software practitioners argue that college level courses in computer science often mismatch with the industry expectations. Moreover, software based companies frequently state that applicants with computer science degrees can not write software code, and generally lack skills in the area of communication and teamwork. To minimize the gap, software development curricula must respond by providing students with necessary knowledge, skills, and experiences on how to develop professional software. This research attempts to examine the usage of scrum and large-scale scrum (LeSS) practices in software development courses. The research emphasizes on providing the core software development curricula in the form of user stories to empower the students the freedom on how to accomplish tasks by taking ownership and delivering a working software based on the expected outcomes. This research presumes that in order to successfully adopt scrum and LeSS frameworks, student should first be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to accomplish the software development task. Overall, we predict that incorporating scrum framework in school environment for software development projects could help students to take active ownership of the learning objectives and obtain better experience that mimics the real-world settings.
