DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will describe some of the ways that we have app
 lied lean and agile techniques to teaching software engineering (within a 
 Computing degree) at Imperial College London. I will talk about the struct
 ure and evolution of our programme\, which is centred on the tools\, techn
 iques and issues that feature in the everyday life of a professional softw
 are developer working in a modern team. I will also describe how aligning 
 our teaching methods with the principles of lean and agile software delive
 ry has enabled us to provide sustained high quality learning experiences. 
 I'll dive into two different types of course in detail: firstly a “tradi
 tional” lecture course\, where we transformed the way that course is tau
 ght and assessed\, aiming to create tighter feedback loops\, and secondly 
 project-based courses where we ask students to put agile methods into prac
 tice themselves\, to build software in teams.\n\n\nLink to join virtually:
