Project Management Tools in the Classroom: Using the Atlassian Tool Suite in the Classroom
Reha, Mark; Fai, Victoria
Journal of Instructional Research, v10 p85-92 2021
Students are pressed for time, struggle to manage their time, and often do not have the training and tools to help them out. Are there some cost-effective tools that could be used by both faculty and students to help solve this problem? This paper documents the results of analyzing one such tool that could be used in the classroom to help students solve this problem especially for complex and lengthy courses. The Atlassian Tool Suite is analyzed as a project management tool to help students complete their Senior Capstone Project in an undergraduate program in Software Design and Development at a major university in the United States. Both the student perspective and the instructor perspective on using the Atlassian Tool Suite are explored. The benefits of using the Atlassian Tool Suite for students and the university are presented and recommendations for integrating the Atlassian Tool Suite into the classroom are given at the end.
