Assigning Roles within your Team

At the start of the course, you are expected to have formed a team of 6.One of the first things to think about as a team is how to divide the three main tasks or roles amongst your team members:

The two team members with a similar role should work together in pairs. You can successfully do pair programming in person or remotely. As you will all need to work on one and the same agent, however, it will also be essential for the three pair programming subteams to communicate well with each other to make sure the three programming tasks are adequately integrated and work well together. Another task that you will have as a team that will be essential to develop an effective and robust agent is to continuously evaluate and test your bot once it is up and running (even if it is still only minimally functioning!).

At the end of this project, you and your team should have a fully functioning conversational agent that is able to assist users with selecting a recipe they would like to cook!
