Students who have experience applying Agile Scrum Methods and the Scrum Framework will use integrated case studies for Agile Business Systems Analysis. Participants will be introduced to using AI agents and tools to generate an Agile business start-up. COMP 2836 assumes participation in exercises and simulations within the Scrum and Kanban frameworks.

In class exercises include applying Agile Team Leadership styles through role-play and user story creation with AI tools to embrace the continual flow of changing requirements.
