Case Study met SCRUM in project EasyLab4Kids. Mijn aanpak is schrijven user storys, bouwen, testen, demo, eindgebruikerstest en verbeterslagen. Zodoende de afgelopen 12 maanden sinds Sep-2017 enorme vooruitgang geboekt. Ik was begonnen met de fysiek apparaat ontwerpen en bouwen in China, daarna de frontend in JavaScript ontwikkeld. Nu dat werken is het lesmateriaal aan de beurt. Afgelopen weekend was de eerste geslaagde test met lesmateriaal. Mijn volgende slag is een docent opleiden zelfstandig ermee aan de slag te gaan. Wordt vervolgd.. :) Ik ben beschikbaar als SCRUM Master, en/of functioneel beheerder. Contact: Michiel Erasmus Tel:+31638369260 of theBApodcast@gmail.com
