  15. So what does it mean for us? 1. How should we define usefulness? 2. How do we measure impact in an education context? 3. How much should we be tied in to measuring usefulness and where does that leave innovation? EdReNe – The Hague, Netherlands, 18th-19th May 2010

  16. Traditional project management Agile project management vs 1. Planned 2. Clear, fixed aims and objectives 3. Measurable outputs, outcomes, benefits 1. Delivery of a vision 2. Based on working software 3. Customer collaboration and response to change EdReNe – The Hague, Netherlands, 18th-19th May 2010

  17. Twelve principles underlie the Agile Manifesto 1. Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful software 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development 3. Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) 4. Working software is the principal measure of progress 5. Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace 6. Close, daily co-operation between business people and developers 7. Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication 8. Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted 9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design 10. Simplicity 11. Self-organizing teams 12. Regular adaptation to changing circumstances EdReNe – The Hague, Netherlands, 18th-19th May 2010

  18. Path to the truth is littered with useful failures – Umberto Eco • According to this principle, science progresses by continually correcting itself, falsifying its hypotheses by trial and error, admitting its own mistakes - and by considering that an experiment that doesn't work out is not a failure but is worth as much as a successful one, because it proves that a certain line of research was mistaken and it is necessary either to change direction or even to start over from scratch. EdReNe – The Hague, Netherlands, 18th-19th May 2010

  19. How do we define 'useful'? • How do we measure the wider impact of non-traditionally 'useful' projects/products? • Who's responsibility is innovation? • Do we need a shift in approach in order to produce both innovative and useful projects/products in today's rapidly changing environment? share-alike. www.flickr.com A present for you.
