EnvironmentBoeing Defense, Space & Security| Lean-Agile Software

Environment

MIL-STD-1521B, the FAR, and DFAR are based on waterfall life-cycle stages for technical reviews and contract reporting, and have specific contract metrics and reporting requirements

“Agile concepts ha e been aro nd for decades In recent ears Agile“Agile concepts have been around for decades. In recent years, Agile matured and personnel became skilled in applying Agile; some DoD contractors started to build internal Agile capabilities and use Agile on DoD programs. Many DoD acquisition programs have also begun to p g y q p g gpropose and use Agile processes, attempting to take advantage of contractor capabilities; however, they have done this without (as yet) any formal DoD guidance, templates, or best practices.”

How can proven Agile practices and principles be applied to projects that are not software centric?

not software-centric?Boeing experience implementing Agile system engineering activities

OverviewBoeing Defense, Space & Security| Lean-Agile Software

Overview

In the context of this presentation “Agile Systems Engineering” or p g y g gAgileSE is limited to the definition and development of requirements for software systems

We will identify specific systems engineering activities to which Agile was applied

We will also include recommendations for applying Agile for project execution

What will not be included is production relating to assembly and manufacturing and contractual impacts

Getting StartedBoeing Defense, Space & Security| Lean-Agile Software

Getting Started

Conduct an assessment to determine if implementing Agile adds or p g greduces risk. For example:

Is the customer willing to actively participate, i.e. requirements clarification, product demos, incremental development?Will th b l d f t t i ti ?Will there be regular and frequent customer communication?Would the customer be willing to drive and prioritize requirements?Is the customer willing to provide frequent feedback on items completed?

If Agile can be applied with minimal risk, then train team in Agile

Request an Agile coach be assigned to the project

Focus more on planning than developing plans
