Course Schedule (Overview)

How the Semester Is Structured​

This course follows an Agile, sprint-based structure modeled after real-world software teams. While specific lecture topics may shift based on project needs, sprint goals and milestone expectations remain consistent throughout the semester.

  • The semester is divided into six sprints
  • Early sprints (0-2) emphasize problem understanding and documentation
  • Later sprints (3-6) emphasize development, iteration, and delivery
  • Stakeholder feedback is incorporated throughout the process

For more details on sprint activities, see the Sprints & Milestones section of the syllabus.
