Abstract
Software engineering group projects are used in many Computer Science degree programmes. In most cases, there are constraining factors that affect the use of methodologies, particularly agile methods such as Extreme Programming (XP), which has become more and more prominent in recent years. Due to the interdependent nature of its practices, it is often difficult to employ particular subsets of agile practices in group projects. In this paper, we report on an experiment conducted to determine which agile practices remain effective and pedagogically beneficial under specific constraints, and argue that there is a need to focus on teaching software engineering techniques rather than merely concentrating on development methodologies.
