- Overview of Scrum: Scrum is an agile framework that structures work into time-boxed iterations called sprints, typically lasting two to four weeks. Each sprint ends with a functional deliverable that is presented for review.
- Key Roles: Scrum roles include the Product Owner, responsible for prioritizing work items; the Scrum Master, who facilitates the team’s progress; and the Development Team, which includes learning engineers and other contributors. In learning engineering, the role of representative end-users—such as educators and learners—also plays a critical part in providing feedback.
- End-User Feedback: At the end of each sprint, the functional deliverable is presented to representative end-users for feedback. This feedback is crucial for assessing usability, understanding learner experiences, and ensuring that the learning solution addresses real needs. By engaging learners and educators directly, the team gains insights that guide subsequent iterations, leading to solutions that are well-aligned with educational goals and user expectations.
