The MIS capstone: teams build and deploy a working information system for a real client, directing an AI coding agent to write the code.
Start here

The taught weeks
- Week 1Course launch, the environment, and forming your team
- Week 2Finding and framing a project; working with AI; the repository
- Week 3Stories and acceptance criteria; data, schema, and what the work costs
- Week 4Who does what, and one story from start to finish; whole-class delivery
From week 5 the classes are team work and delivery sessions rather than lectures, and a week page appears here when there is something on it.
All semester
- Slides — every deck, by week and class.
- A worked example — a finished Phase 1 you can open and read.
- Your first change, twice — the loop by hand and with Antigravity.
- Your repository — the rules and the layout.
- Publishing — the GitHub Desktop loop, and giving a page a public address.
- Team roles — what each role owns and the artifact it produces.
- The project proposal — the required shape.
