description Purpose –The research aims to show the relevance of company client sponsored student projects in the University of Asia and the Pacific Information Technology (UA&P IT) Capstone Program through the use ofan Agile Methodology with Scrum Approach.Method–The modified program is employed on two batches with content analysis and survey results as benchmarks.Results–Surveys at the end of the sprints for both clients and students revealed that the length of the sprint was a critical factor in the development of the information system, and that students learned from addressing additional challenges such as academic load, team pressure and communication issues.Conclusion–Over-all results showed that clients were impressed and keen to adopt the student works.Recommendations–Maintainability aspects of the research can be analyzed for future studies. Increasing the sample size with additional batches could lead to discovery of additional factors not previously seen.Research Implications–The research could help improve other Capstone Programs while improving communication with company clients.
