Development of Agile Scrum Perception Tool to Evaluate Students' Opinions on Agile Methodology in Nursing Education.

Agile methodology (AM) is an innovative, active, team-based learning method that enhances higher-order thinking (metacognitive ability), collaboration, hands-on training, and student engagement in the classroom and clinical environment. Exploring the student's opinions of AM in teaching helps understand how agile can be utilized in higher education to positively improve learning ability, leadership, and teamwork. Hence, the study aimed to develop the agile scrum perception tool (ASPT) to evaluate the opinions on AM among nursing students. A cross-sectional design was carried out to develop ASPT in different phases. The tool was initially derived from focus group discussion and literature review. The preliminary draft was revised and modified based on expert review and suggestions by content and construct validity. Reliability was calculated in terms of internal consistency. The developed tool was evaluated using data from 200 4th-year nursing students. A total of 23 items of ASPT have adequate psychometric properties in terms of reliability and validity. Internal consistency was checked by coefficient alpha, which was 0.87. Construct validity was analyzed by factor analysis; all items were loaded in 6 factors, accounting for 54% of the variance in the total ASPT score. ASPT has good validity, reliability, and broader scope in medical and allied education related to project management, clinical teaching, and classroom teaching.

Is Agile Scrum Improving IT Project Outcomes?

The publication of the Agile Manifesto in 2001 gave rise to a range of Agile project management methodologies with Agile Scrum particularly prevalent. Agile’s incremental and iterative nature appearing to serve many project contexts and needs over the more traditional, planned project management approach. Agile’s more visceral insight of customer needs, exposing and developing understanding along the journey, appeals to many projects where scope development is not easily articulated or necessarily clear. On the surface it looks distinctly beneficial in helping customers achieve end results. The following outlines a study undertaken of IT professionals to understand if Agile Scrum does deliver the benefits its system alludes to. This study surveyed 88 Agile Scrum IT professionals to determine their views on the efficacy of using such a system, particularly over previous traditional approaches. The survey data collected was statistically analysed using SPSS, and critically assessed. The limitations of its findings are noted along with recommendations for further research. The study findings suggest that across the project measures of cost control, schedule management and scope handling, no demonstrative benefit was derived from the adoption of Agile Scrum. However, the findings did indicate moderate gains in the measures of quality control, benefits realization, stakeholder connection and as a result overall project satisfaction. Notwithstanding these benefits, the implication was they were modest and not the across-the-board step improvement anticipated. It suggests a more forensic search for the drivers of project success needs to be undertaken of system development to achieve a wholistic outcome.

Use of the agile scrum method to manage an e-learning platform in the face of the application of the ADDIE model in the pedagogical engineering of a training course

With the advent of new technologies and the changing needs of learners, however, it has become essential to explore more flexible and agile approaches to the design and management of e-learning courses. This article examines how the agile Scrum method can be used to manage an e-learning platform, and how it can be integrated with the ADDIE model to improve the pedagogical engineering of a training course. The two methods, Scrum and ADDIE, act on the two axes of e-learning platform management: IT project management and pedagogical content engineering. Consequently, our work aims to highlight the different issues that are taken into account when working with the Agile Scrum method and the ADDIE pedagogical model, and to present an example of the application of agile methodologies in the pedagogical design of personalized, adaptive learning systems. With its emphasis on flexibility and rapid iteration, this hybrid approach aims to respond effectively to the changing needs of learners and technological developments. In this article, we present the challenges of each method and propose our approach to integrating these methods into the technical and pedagogical management of a learning platform.

Development of Augmented Reality Programming Language using Agile Scrum Methodology

The agile scrum methodology for augmented reality development increases project team efficiency. Private campus are frequently confronted with the dilemma of new students with various backgrounds that come not only from vocational high schools but also from high schools. First year students in the informatics study programme come not only from vocational informatics high schools, but also from high schools that specialize in social studies and languages. This is a difficult task in terms of imparting a comprehension of the fundamentals of programming. This study develops augmented reality in order to teach HTML and Javascript. By combining basic principles with gaming, the proposed augmented reality (AR) makes programming interesting. Players must comprehend their programming logic in order to be immersed in a virtual environment by answering coding bug questions. During usability testing, the System Usability Scale (SUS) assesses user happiness and AR knowledge. Participants from various programming backgrounds were tested on their knowledge of programming languages. According to usability research, 59% of people found AR programming languages useful for learning and understanding basic programming languages. AR and Agile Scrum make programming more enjoyable. This study demonstrates how augmented reality can be used to teach programming languages. These findings imply that Agile Scrum and AR methods can improve learning and programming foundations. More research and development could lead to more complete and complicated AR learning environments for programming instruction.

P102: Supporting Informal Carers to Undertake Regular Physical Activity from Home: a Co-design and Prototype Development Study of a novel app, “CareFit”

Background:Informal carers (unpaid family members and friends), are critical to millions worldwide for the ongoing delivery of health and well-being needs. However, the physical and mental wellbeing of caregivers is often poor including low levels of physical activity, frequently owed to contributing factors such as lack of time, lack of support and motivation. Thus, accessible evidence-based tools to facilitate physical activity for carers are urgently needed.Objective:The aim of this study was to co-design and develop a novel mobile app to educate and support carers in the undertaking of regular physical activity. This is achieved via integration of the transtheoretical model of behaviour change and UK physical activity guidelines across 8 weeks of use.Methods:We co-designed a mobile app, “CareFit,” by directly involving caregivers, health care professionals, and social care professionals in the requirements, capturing, and evaluation phases across a number of Agile Scrum development sprints. Requirements for CareFit were grounded in a combination of behavioural change science and UK government physical activity guidelines.Results:Participants identified different barriers and enablers to physical activity, such as a lack of time, recognition of existing activities, and concerns regarding safely undertaking physical activity. Requirements analysis highlighted the importance of simplicity in design and a need to anchor development around the everyday needs of caregivers (eg, easy-to-use video instructions, reducing text). Our final prototype app integrated guidance for undertaking physical activity at home through educational, physical activity, and communication components.Conclusions:Integrating government guidelines with models of behavioural change into a mobile app to support the physical activity of carers is novel and holds future promise. Integrating core physical activity guidelines into a co-designed smartphone app with functionality such as a weekly planner and educational material for users is feasible acceptable and usable. Here we will document the latest developments on the project including an ongoing national study currently taking place in Scotland to test the prototype with 50 carers.

A Digital Microintervention Supporting Evidence-Based Parenting Skills: Development Study Using the Agile Scrum Methodology.

Conduct disorder increases risks of educational dropout, future mental illness, and incarceration if untreated. First-line treatment of conduct disorder involves evidence-based parenting skills programs. Time-outs, a frequent tool in these programs, can be effective at improving behavior, and recent apps have been developed to aid this process. However, these apps promote the use of time-outs in inconsistent or developmentally inappropriate ways, potentially worsening behavior problems. Digital microinterventions like these apps could guide parents through high-quality time-outs in the moment, but current time-out apps lack features promoting adherence to the evidence-based best practice. Agile scrum is a respected approach in the software development industry. We aimed to explore the feasibility of using the agile scrum approach to build a digital microintervention to help parents deliver an evidence-based time-out. The agile scrum methodology was used. Four sprints were conducted. Figma software was used for app design and wireframing. Insights from 42 expert stakeholders were used during 3 sprint reviews. We consulted experts who were identified from councils around the Midlands region of the United Kingdom and charities through personal contacts and a snowballing approach. Over 4 development sprints from August 2022 to March 2023, the app was iteratively designed and refined based on consultation with a diverse group of 42 experts who shared their knowledge about the content of common parenting programs and the challenges parents commonly face. Modifications made throughout the process resulted in significant app enhancements, including tailored timer algorithms and enhanced readability, as well as an onboarding zone, mindfulness module, and pictorial information to increase inclusivity. By the end of the fourth sprint, the app was deemed ready for home use by stakeholders, demonstrating the effectiveness of our agile scrum development approach. We developed an app to support parents to use the evidence-based time-out technique. We recommend the agile scrum approach to create mobile health apps. Our experience highlights the valuable role that frontline health and social care professionals, particularly those working with vulnerable families, can play as experts in scrum reviews. There is a need for research to both evaluate the impact of digital microinterventions on child behavioral change and also create digital microinterventions that cater to non-English speakers and individuals who participate in parenting programs in settings outside the United Kingdom.

Zhivete Model - A Hybrid of V Model and Agile Scrum for Product Development

The New Product Development Process (NPDP) is a systematic approach to product development, consisting of various stages from ideation to commercialization. The Waterfall model and the Iterative (Agile) model are two commonly used approaches to product development, with each having its own strengths and weaknesses. The V-model is a sequential development process used in regulated industries, emphasizing the importance of verification and validation in product development. Although the V-model is well-suited for regulated industries, it can be inflexible and not adaptable to changes in requirements or feedback. Therefore, a more agile model is needed, with continuous testing and validation throughout the development process. In this paper we are Proposing the Zhivete model - a hybrid of V model and Agile Scrum for product development. Offers structured approach with flexibility and adaptation, potentially reducing time and cost. Keyowrds: New Product Development Process, Waterfall model, V-model, Iterative (Agile) model
