Software Engineering with an Agile Development Framework/Iteration Three/Content production

For many projects, the content of the software is beyond the scope of the IT project team. It is not a sensible use of an IT professional's skills to to typing up recipes to fill a cooking database. Hence, we try to focus on developing content management systems rather than "websites". But there are significant exceptions to this rule:


 * when the data itself has significant IT complexity.


 * when the content is integral to the software - that is, cannot be separately considered as "the stuff someone else will put in later".

Case studies
{{Adfexemplar |Talking with Leonardo | Chrissie Jackson and Jonathon Ung for Otago Museum|

The Leonardo Talking Head robot is an interactive robot with a personality. The robot will accept speech and respond back.

This sequence of images depicts the development of the script.

The first script, recorded by the group to test the interaction.



The group then worked with the client to develop a more complete narrative.



The style of the narrative was used in describing the twenty key facts the Museum wished to highlight.





Each sentence was broken up into sub-sentences and re-written with slightly different words, the sub-sentences to be strung together randomly - giving seemingly different conversations to successive museum visitors, even if they gave the same responses.
