The course has three phases (see figure).

The three phases of the course: preparation, project weeks, and final demo plus reflection.

Part 1: Preparation

Teams are formed by the examiner before the first lecture. Before the Scrum workshop, each team is encouraged to meet, discuss a social contract, and do brainstorming to find project ideas. This enables the team to make a running start with the project.

For your social contract and brainstorming, see the instructions on the page Practices and Tools.
