On completion of this course, the student should:

- show familiarity with development of products that may include software, electronic and mechanical components,
- demonstrate comprehension of practical aspects of Agile product development, including project planning and different activities,
- display knowledge of some existing tools for different activities of project work

- demonstrate the ability to work in cross-discipline teams during product development
- demonstrate the ability to deliver intermediate results in an iterative and incremental fashion

- demonstrate an understanding of different roles in cross-discipline teams during product development
- demonstrate the ability to select appropriate completion criteria for an evolving product

The course focuses on development of a product in a real-life-like scenario. A product may include software, electronic and mechanical components. The results may be delivered in different forms, including product specifications, digital and paper-based prototypes, (software) code, and other artefacts. The scenario for the product may originate from an external company or organisation, from a need internal to the University, or from an original idea from the students. The product will be developed through an Agile lifecycle, with clearly defined intermediate deliverable points.
The course includes the following topics:
- project work in teams consisting of different types of professionals,
- analysis of the business, user research, specification of requirements to a product,
- design of user experiences and interactions, design of software and IT architectures,
- development of product prototypes, testing and evaluation,
- communication with stakeholders, users, and management
- project planning, including releases.

The course will consist primarily of practical work, supported by supervision meetings and review seminars. Students will work in teams.
