In Undergraduate Education, the development of team projects is a strategy employed
by teachers to foster students' learning of specific content, problem-solving skills, and
practical skill development within their respective fields of knowledge. However, in
undertaking such projects, students encounter a range of difficulties, including: lack of
skills to comprehend project demands, absence of strategies for organizing teamwork,
and challenges in building cooperative relationships to achieve proposed objectives.
Given this issue, this research aimed to design a teaching-learning proposal that
organizes the development of team projects for undergraduate students, anchored in
Project-Based Learning and SCRUM methodologies to develop both hard and soft
skills. This qualitative research adopted action research as its methodological path and
resulted in the development of an educational product called LEVE - an approach for
agile team project development among students, materialized in the form of a website
that systematizes the teaching-learning proposal, enabling its application by other
teachers. The evaluation of LEVE was conducted with students in the 4th semester of
the Technology in Systems Analysis and Development (TSAD) program at the Instituto
Federal do Amazonas - IFAM (Federal Institute of Amazonas). As a result of the
product application, regarding hard skills, it was observed that teams with better
understanding of the problem also achieved better results in delivering their artifacts.
Concerning soft skills, teamwork required information sharing, providing a context for
developing communication skills, and specifying a moment for task planning and
monitoring allowed the development of management skills.
