Restructuring of System Analysis and Design Course with Agile Approach for Computer Engineering/Programming Departments

Abstract

Today software plays an increasingly important and central role in every aspect of everyday life. The number, size, complexity and application areas of the programs developed continue to grow. Many software products have serious problems in cost, timing and quality. It has become almost normal for software projects to exceed their planned cost and schedule. A significant number of development projects have never been completed and many of them have not met user requirements. Employers are not satisfied with new graduates for a variety of reasons (They do not know how to communicate. They do not have enough experience and preparation to work as a team member. They do not have the ability to manage their individual works efficiently and productively. This work was reconfigured and conducted with Scrum from the Agile methodologies of the System Analysis and Design course, which is especially taught in Vocational Schools and Engineering faculties. The recommended approach is available for software development departments. The suggested approach is applied in System Analysis and Design course.
