Content
An introduction to two important methods that will be used later in the year: the CMD Methods Pack and SCRUM. A poorly designed digital product will be improved using an Agile process and making use of the CMD Methods Pack. Agile is used to structure the process with weekly sprints, and improvements are supported with research conducted using the CMD Methods Pack.
These methods are introduced in this block to offer students the opportunity to conduct future research and project work more efficiently and in a more structured way.
