 Scrum methodology for learning: application on refrigeration course. 

Summary

This paper discusses the applicability of an agile project management methodology called “Scrum” in postgraduate engineering studies, specifically for managing a refrigeration project. The main objective is to convert an educative project into a real-life project with different challenges and objectives. In this scenario, the teacher plays the role of the product owner, who creates a product backlog containing the main requirements for reaching an ultimate goal by groups of students called “development teams.” The team leader, or Scrum master, organizes meetings, controls the workflow, and acts as a link between the team and the product owner. Within the Scrum framework, the project is divided into short work cycles of two weeks named “sprints.” After each sprint, an intermediate result should be released and reviewed in accordance with the objectives established. This innovative methodology is expected to teach the students many values, such as awareness, focus, commitment, courage, and respect, besides promoting many soft, hard, and metacognition skills inside them.
