Digital tools have long been a transformative part of academia,
enhancing the classroom and changing the way we teach. Yet there is
a way that academia may be able to benefit more from the digital
revolution: by adopting the project management techniques used by
software developers. Agile work strategies are a staple of the
software development world, developed out of the need to be
flexible and responsive to fast-paced change at times when
"business as usual" could not work. These techniques call for
breaking projects into phases and short-term goals, managing
assignments collectively, and tracking progress openly.Agile
Faculty is a comprehensive roadmap for scholars who want to
incorporate Agile practices into all aspects of their academic
careers, be it research, service, or teaching. Rebecca Pope-Ruark
covers the basic principles of Scrum, one of the most widely used
models, and then through individual chapters shows how to apply
that framework to everything from individual research to running
faculty committees to overseeing student class work. Practical and
forward-thinking, Agile Faculty will help readers not only manage
their time and projects but also foster productivity, balance, and
personal and professional growth.
