Abstract

Learning through simulation is an efficient method for illustrating the essentials of Scrum software development to those who are interested in further understanding modern software engineering techniques. Several models of simulations have been proposed in attempts to match needs and simulation environments. This paper compares the efficiency of two variations of Scrum simulation; the original “Scrum simulation with LEGO bricks” and the economic alternative “Plasticine Scrum”. Similarities, differences, advantages and disadvantages of both models are discussed in the findings.
