Applying design thinking in disciplines of systems development
Emanuel Ferreira Coutinho, George Allan Menezes Gomes, M. L. Antonio Jose · 2016
Apply theory and practice is usually a difficult task to lead in undergraduate courses. Generally disciplines involving development projects are used as an attempt to minimize this difficulty. One way of conducting this kind of discipline is defining a development methodology to be applied. This paper aims to present an approach based on design thinking to develop products and services that involve software, aligned with the best practices of Software Engineering. An assessment of the approach was carried out with students of the discipline, concluding that its use contributed to improve communication, documentation and projects monitoring.
