Scrum to support application development project for online learning

Abstract

Good health services require adequate human resources, especially nursing personnel during a pandemic. To produce quality human resources in the health sector, a quality learning process is needed in health education institutions. One of the steps that can be taken to achieve this is to transform online and mobile-based nursing education. Technological developments have changed the way applications developed. Application users have also experienced changes by prioritizing mobile-based applications. This change makes application developers look for new methods in developing applications that can be used effectively. This article presented a study that applies the principles of agile mobile application development. The agile methodology used in this study is SCRUM for application development. This study prepared a mobile-based learning application that will be used by nursing students. The development of this application uses an agile methodology. This paper discusses Scrum's use in developing mobile-based applications that will be used in the nursing department's learning environment. The requirements are deliberately modified to provoke changes to the software being developed. Our findings revealed that agile practices were capable of assisting mobile software development. The advantage of this method was the ease of managing the project. control, and speed of development. However, aspects of user interface and user experience, different development platforms, and user expectations still represented the challenges in developing mobile applications.
