Title: SCM processes for novices

Presenter/host: Christian Andersson (Malmö Högskola)

At Malmö University School of Technology we are running two courses where approximately 150 first- and second year students are on a tight schedule of deliveries each week. These include candidate solutions which are pair reviewed and updated to a final delivery. We have designed an SCM process which takes students (and their teachers) through this, using freely available tools from software industry and "open source" communities. We will sketch the process that we have implemented and would like to discuss some of the following questions:

• similarities to and differences from an industrial setting
• the things we succeeded with - how and why
• some of the failures we had and how they were remedied
• what we think can be learned from our experiment
• how much transfers from university to industry
