Lessons  Learned  

•  Project  Based  Learning  is  well  done.  – knowledge,  skill,  competence  –  team  learning  –  tacit/implicit  knowledge  

•  Demo  or  Die,  scrum  – Mme  box,  prioriMzaMon,  MVP  

•  Modern  Tools  accelerate  development  process  – PaaS,  CI,  scrum,  sprint,      

RetrospecMve

•  We  (professors,  coach)  don’t  teach  but  you  (students)  learn.  

•  Done  is  beber  than  perfect.  •  Face  to  face  communicaMon  is  vital  and  essenMal.  

•  A  few  dropouts  •  Pivot  •  Free  to  fail  

Our  Next  Challenges  

•  From  ‘How’  to  ‘What’  and  ‘Why’  – you  can  learn  how  to  build  web  services  by  our  course  but  you  learn  ‘what’  and  ‘why’  to  build  from  experience.  

•  Growth  Hackers  – we  need  growth  hackers  to  coach  our  PBL.  

My  wish  to  Students  

•  Show  your  competence.  – Apply  contests,  e.g.  Mashup  Award  – Build  your  services  – Salesforce  Hack  Challenge  2014,  #4  •  hbp://jphack2014.challengepost.com/updates  タビノタネ
