Abstract: The learning approach in the education sector has transitioned from teacher-centred or content-centred to student-centred. In this research, the authors discuss the delivery of a project management course with the student-centric approach by adopting Scrum, an agile methodology, using non-participatory observation. The findings of this study reveal that adopting agile methodologies, such as Scrum, demonstrates a strong alignment with student-centred learning and teaching practices. Our observation shows that the teaching team puts students experience as their key agenda during the weekly sprint retro and planning meetings. Our research findings also confirm that having an EduScrum Master to manage the teaching team enhanced collaboration, communication, and value delivery to students. However, the findings of this study are limited to the observations conducted by the research team and therefore, this paper also includes suggestions for future research opportunities in this area.
