Agile project management principles have been applied in a variety of settings to improve team communication, professional development and collaboration. Specifically, “Scrum” is a process used in agile project management in order to have short, iterative sequences to provide frequent feedback on the final product. In an integrated learning stream at the University of Calgary with an integrated design project, principles from Scrum were used to help support the student design project and their learning process. Specifically, using key ideas of Scrum, students were able to better visualize the steps required to complete the final design project. This paper provides an overview of the scaffolding of Scrum activities to introduce the concepts of agile project management and then apply these to their own design project.
