Abstract
Indian higher education is looking forward to major reforms. In the past, much of the efforts to bring in reforms have proved to be counter productive. There is so much of wastage of talent and resources that one is compelled to think whether the agile practices that have met with so much of success in manufacturing and in software industry can be of any help in education sector as well. With this guided inquiry we carried out an experiment to practice few of these principles and the results are very encouraging. In this paper we discuss the motivation behind applying agile practices in higher education and the methodology adopted by us with the help of a case study.Keywords
