Some students gain deep satisfaction from successful group work with

teams that come together well and deliver high quality work - these

teams often seek each other out to work together again. This is not

always the case however.

This re�ection provides you with an opportunity within the assessment

structure of the subject to pause and re�ect using Kolb’s framework

about not only what you tried while using Agile and Scrum techniques

within your project, but also what you would maybe do di�erently in

future. Remember that the principle behind Agile is to create self-

organising teams that succeed.

It is important to both celebrate successes as well as acknowledge

‘lessons learnt’ – and to consider how you would do things di�erently in

your future group projects. There are two video clips in additional

resources, which o�er very interesting insights into teamwork – it is

recommended that you watch these to broaden your understanding of

what makes for successful teams.

As mentioned earlier – there is also a forward-looking opportunity for

introspection about practices which will be part of your future career. We

cover the concepts of Ethical, Legal, and Security Issues.

With ethics and privacy – de�nitions speak about ‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ and

there are numerous examples in the readings which allow you to explore

concepts in their complexity. Tools for examining and analysing moral

dilemmas are shared in the essential resources to ensure that you can

develop techniques to navigate this complex area in your future career.

Security is a vital area for protecting organisational interests and this is

covered from multiple angles to ensure that you are well prepared to

understand how vital security is to the organisation, what the key points

of exposure are and actions that an organisation can take to manage and

mitigate risks.
