Towards successful technical internships: An Agile-oriented training methodology

Although internships contribute to the professional development of a junior engineer, it is not straightforward to achieve a fruitful outcome for either the intern or the hosting the organisation. We discuss a structured framework based on Agile and Scrum concepts with the goal of providing in a flexible manner a mixture of communication, technical and research skills. Not only interns get hands-on exposure to the aforementioned skills but the organisation can make use of their deliverables.
