Abstract
In this practitioner chapter, the author (the originator of eduScrum) explains the motivation for creating eduScrum, outlines its core practices, processes and artefacts, and includes an external perspective on how eduScrum works based on a series of conversations with students, as well as two experience reports from students who have experienced eduScrum in practice. From the motivation that education needs to change to meet the needs of twenty-first-century society, this chapter addresses the various ways that adapting Scrum processes to the classroom enables students to become more independent and self-directed in their learning. Student experience reported in the chapter suggests that the positive aspects of eduScrum reinforce each other over time, so that students become increasingly comfortable with this style of learning as they progress through year levels.
