Agile in Defense
Date: 3/21/2012 to 3/21/2012
Location: Springfield Virginia, USA
The Defense Department must deliver information technology capabilities faster and at lower cost. Agile methods improve delivery of capability and are key to reforming DoD acquisition of software, and the convergence of Agile and Lean enhance their value to DoD. The current budget environment demands this. The Defense Science Board Task Force report and the 2010 NDAA Section 804 both recognized that information technology (IT) can, and must, be acquired in a different manner than the traditional waterfall approach. There are pockets of developmental activity that use agile methods in DoD, and the processes are gaining support. However, reconciliation of agile processes with waterfall acquisition documentation requirements and Earned Value Management can be very difficult. Large organizations using Agile are applying a Lean value stream approach in which various development teams are organized in sequential and parallel streams of work so that, at the end of an iteration, you get a new version of the product. Lean can help with integration and governance across Agile projects with different iterative rhythms. Integration across rhythms occurs at set iteration intervals to produce new product versions.
