In this course students will focus on the team-based development of a specified, designed, and concept-proofed software system. Each team will build their product to industrial-strength quality standards following an agile process and applying the software engineering concepts, methods, and tools. The course includes a series of mandatory participatory seminars on professional and management issues in IT and IT projects. Students will be expected to relate their engineering work to these issues.

Intelligent Software Implementation aims at providing students with an in-depth understanding of disciplined approaches to the software development process and, with equal important, an understanding of professional and management issues in IT.
This course is heavily teamwork-based and much of this focuses on the engineered development of a software project chosen by students at the beginning of the sibling software engineering principles course in the first half-session.
The course also covers the core professional topics of current relevance in the IT industry. This will include management topics of relevance to software projects and the IT industry more generally, specifically including the management of risk. Students will be expected to place their software projects in this context.
