Abstract

This paper describes an experiment where software engineering students were given the task of developing a project management system for use in capstone projects. The Agile Development Framework, which is a combination of agile and structured methodologies, is introduced. Using examples of student work, the paper describes the effect on learning of this recursive approach to learning software engineering.
