About this book
This guidebook highlights the process of a software internship project facilitated by the Schulich School of Engineering. The Scrum Team is comprised of student developers pursuing either a master’s or bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering with their professor as the stakeholder, a consulting tech company serving as the product owner, and a graduate student and seasoned industry expert as project leads. The story of this software development process is communicated through the perspectives of an observing undergraduate SE student and the team, mainly through meetings, interviews, and journal entries. This guidebook is for readers in research, education, and industry who will not only experience the same process from different angles, but they will gain insight into fundamental elements of the Scrum Framework applied in organizational projects.​
