CIE354 Agile Software Development Syllabus:
CIE354 Agile Software Development Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
• To provide students with a theoretical as well as practical understanding of agile software development practices and how small teams can apply them to create highquality software.
• To provide a good understanding of software design and a set of software technologies and APIs.
• To do a detailed examination and demonstration of Agile development and testing techniques.
• To understand the benefits and pitfalls of working in an Agile team.
• To understand Agile development and testing.
UNIT I AGILE METHODOLOGY
Theories for Agile management – agile software development – traditional model vs. agile model – classification of agile methods – agile manifesto and principles – agile project management – agile team interactions – ethics in agile teams – agility in design, testing – agile documentations – agile drivers, capabilities and values.
UNIT II AGILE PROCESSES
Lean production – SCRUM, Crystal, Feature Driven Development, Adaptive Software Development, and Extreme Programming: Method overview – lifecycle – work products, roles and practices.

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to:
CO1: Realize the importance of interacting with business stakeholders in determining the requirements for a software system
CO2: Perform iterative software development processes: how to plan them, how to execute them.
CO3: Point out the impact of social aspects on software development success.
CO4: Develop techniques and tools for improving team collaboration and software quality. Perform Software process improvement as an ongoing task for development teams
CO5: Show how agile approaches can be scaled up to the enterprise level.
