Assessment for learning and formative assessment practices have been shown to provide students with improved learning outcomes. Specifically, assessment for learning provides students with feedback that can be used to improve their future performance. This feedback loop is similar to the processes used in agile project management, where short iterations between product demos provide quick feedback to align the product with customer expectations. This paper will provide a case study of assessment for learning and agile project management being applied in second-year electrical engineering courses. The results show that students appreciated the learning opportunity that came with these activities.
