On Friday I filled in a talk slot for our weekly lab meetings. It was a rough overview of what I have been up to workwise; covering Agile Narratives, my pilot and extended study, informative workspaces (nabaztags and walls), and the coding dojo.
A lot of interesting ideas have come out from this, which I will be following up soon.
Everyone was particularly taken with the concept behind the coding dojo, and the possible applications for teaching programming and other subjects (such as statistics or report writing). I was glad about this, as I can see plenty of applications which I would never have the chance to implement. It also fits remarkably well with the 'surgical theatre' philosophy of the CETL, so there may be some very interesting collaborations ahead.
Notes for my research to be reviewed and considered (that I remember):
- Compare literature between agile and non-agile for anecdotes.
- Consider clearly validity
- Consider 'paper submission' rather than traditional thesis
- Consider comparative pilot in more traditional company
- Look at processes as described vs implemented
