Agile Pitfall in Acquisition: The Bottom of the V

Abstract

Video talk that discusses a pitfall that the SEI has seen in implementations of Agile in large, complex acquisition settings, especially those that are part of embedded systems, like airplanes or satellites. In those kinds of systems, software is embedded in the actual hardware via sensors and firmware, and often is responsible for mission or safety critical functions like navigation. The shorthand for this pitfall is "Agile at the Bottom of the V".
