A Viable Systems Engineering Approach
Abstract
This presentation addresses systems engineering applying Agile practices to non software-centric projects. An experience model created from a case study shows how the failures of a large program was able to show significant improvements applying specific Agile practices. The program was running over budget and schedules were not being met program management demanded rapid development techniques the current methodology was not meeting the needs of the sponsors. The Agile approach Scrum was selected as the only viable solution for managing project execution and implementation to improve efficiency and productivity. This approach worked well, but not without some daunting problems. Requirements were slowly evolving and a product backlog did not exist, so the core team decided to field teams trained in Agile practices staffed with self-organized and motivated individuals in a series of short iterations to create a product backlog consisting of fully-developed and prioritized requirements.
