Capstone courses in undergraduate software engineering are a critical finalmilestone for students. These courses allow students to create a softwaresolution and demonstrate the knowledge they accumulated in their degrees.However, a typical capstone project team is small containing no more than 5students and function independently from other teams. To better reflectreal-world software development and meet industry demands, we introduce in thispaper our novel capstone course. Each student was assigned to a large-scale,multi-team (i.e., company) of up to 20 students to collaboratively buildsoftware. Students placed in a company gained first-hand experiences withrespect to multi-team coordination, integration, communication, agile, andteamwork to build a microservices based project. Furthermore, each company wasrequired to implement plug-and-play so that their services would be compatiblewith another company, thereby sharing common APIs. Through developing theproduct in autonomous sub-teams, the students enhanced not only their technicalabilities but also their soft skills such as communication and coordination.More importantly, experiencing the challenges that arose from the multi-teamproject trained students to realize the pitfalls and advantages oforganizational culture. Among many lessons learned from this course experience,students learned the critical importance of building team trust. We providedetailed information about our course structure, lessons learned, and proposerecommendations for other universities and programs. Our work concernseducators interested in launching similar capstone projects so that students inother institutions can reap the benefits of large-scale, multi-team development
