Launching Agile: Maximizing Development Resources in the Space Domain

Chair: Mrs. Michele Gannon, (Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, USA)
Date: September 28, 10:30 - 18:30
Room: Salón de Actos

In the current economic times, funding uncertainty, project cancellations, and tighter budgets have dramatically increased competition and therefore customers need to get more for their technology development dollar. This is resulting in lower cost proposals; however these proposals cannot afford to cut quality. How can we develop mission enabling technology without sacrificing quality and accuracy in our technical development process? Adopting and utilizing an Agile Development methodology will maximize the application of our development resources.
