Abstract
CONTENTS: 1) Mission Impact of Foreign Influence on DoD Software by Defense Science Board Task Force: The DoD's growing dependency on software is a source of weakness that could be exploited by an adversary at a critical moment. The Defense Science Board Task Force suggests solutions. 2) The Way We See the Problem Is the Problem by Jim York: When an organization fails to alter the way it sees a problem, it will flounder in its efforts to transform to a Lean enterprise. How can an organization successfully transition? 3) Welcoming Software Into the Industrial Fold by James M. Sutton: Software has often struggled to coexist with the disciplines of other industries. James M. Sutton suggests that may be changing through Lean production. 4) Are the Right People Measuring the Right Things? A Lean Path to Achieving Business Objectives by Paul E. McMahon: Can CMMI and Lean practices work together? In this article, Paul E. McMahon argues that companies that don't think so may soon fall behind the competition. 5) Measuring Continuous Integration Capability by Bas Vodde: Measuring the capability of your continuous integration environment will provide you with a road map for improvement and also offers additional benefits, according to author Bas Vodde. 6) Using Both Incremental and Iterative Development by Dr. Alistair Cockburn: Using Both Incremental and Iterative Development Incremental development is distinctly different from iterative development and both must be addressed and used together to achieve project success, says this author.
