Agile in Government Programs: Challenges and Approaches

Richard Turner, Stevens Institute
Suzanne Miller, CMU-SEI

A not-for-attribution forum for Government executives and managers to examine implementation of incremental, modular and agile approaches in their agencies and to share with other attendees their experiences, challenges and solutions.  Agile principles require a disciplined structured approach to be successful.  Agencies using agile successfully do not throw away the rule book and allow developers to do what they please.  Understand what agile principles really are and how to align them with agency processes to assure successful adoption.
