Abstract EN
Capstone project-based courses offer a favorable environment for the development of student skills through an approach incorporating theoretical and practical components.
However, it is often difficult to successfully coordinate between students, stakeholders, and the academic team.
The absence of suitable tools for addressing this issue, along with time constraints, often prevents students from attaining the expected course outcomes.
This raises the question “How can we improve project management skills in computing majors through the use of technology-enhanced learning environments?” This paper presents a Cloud-based mobile system for supporting project management under a framework of best practices in software engineering capstone courses.
The Kanban approach was used as a core of the proposed system.
Kanban boards are very popular in the software industry today.
It has been empirically shown that they provide increased motivation and project activity control due to their inherent simplicity.
This helps the students and academic team be aware of the project context as it aids in preventing ambiguities, flaws, or uncertainties in the development of software artifacts.
