Description

This OER introduces students to designing and developing AI-powered assistants for agile software development using Flowise (no code). Learners as a team explore Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and agent-based systems, applying AI to real-world agile practices while considering technical design, evaluation, and cost-aware decision-making

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This resource provides an authentic, project-based approach to learning how AI can support agile software development practices. It enables students to apply concepts such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, workflow design, and responsible AI adoption within realistic software engineering scenarios. By working within budget and technical constraints, learners also develop critical thinking, teamwork, and decision-making skills valued in industry.

In academic settings, educators can integrate the resource into software engineering, agile development, AI, or computing modules as a group project, capstone activity, or practical assessment. Academic developers and instructional designers may adapt the example use cases to suit different disciplines or institutional contexts, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and experimentation with emerging AI tools. The resource can also be modified to focus on specific agile activities, such as requirements engineering, quality assurance, or project management, allowing flexibility to align with diverse learning outcomes and levels of study.
