Abstract
This paper reports on a controlled experiment comparing different approaches on how to guide students through a semester long data science project. Four different methodologies, ranging from a traditional “just assign some intermediate milestones” to other more agile methodologies, are compared. The results of the experiment shows that the project methodology used in the classroom made a significant difference in student outcomes. Surprisingly, an Agile Kanban approach was found to be much more effective than an Agile Scrum methodology, which was not one of the leading approaches.
