Contents
The course provides an introduction to, and practice in, agile system development processes, as well as models, concepts, and tasks central to the analysis and design of information systems. Students work in teams to develop a report on their own analysis and design of an information system. In coordination with IS-201 and IS-202, students will also gain experience in how their analysis and design can be realised in practice.
Teaching and learning methods
The learning environment is organised as:
- lectures
- group-based analysis and design activities
- supervision
- sprint report presentations in quasi-professional settings
- writing of project report
IS-200 is coordinated with IS-201 and IS-202; therefore students are advised to take these courses in the same semester. The estimated workload is 270 hours.
