Implementation of the AIScrum-Sprint Methodology for Problem Solving in Small and Medium Enterprises within the Framework of Algorithm and Programming Courses

This paper addresses the implementation of a methodological approach that combines two widely recognized professional practices: Scrum and Design Sprint. This methodol-ogy is applied in the context of first-year computer engineering students during their algorithm and programming course. The initiative aims to work with real-world situations, where students form development teams to tackle computer challenges presented by small and medium-sized businesses. This innovative approach not only enriches students' education but also prepares them to enter the workforce with a strong foundation of technical skills and practical experience. Ultimately, this methodology has allowed students to acquire programming skills in Python and Java, similar to those of junior and intermediate programmers, eliminating the need to complete an entire degree to face such challenges, thanks to the promotion of teamwork skills identified through AI.
