Check out our new Agile Risk Management Framework - White Paper by Brian Derfer


Introduction


Agile processes like Scrum, XP, SAFe, and Kanban have proven to be very effective at delivering software in a more collaborative, transparent, and predictable fashion than traditional waterfall processes. However, Agile practices, by themselves, are not sufficient to address the risks that impact most medium-to-large software projects, and in particular are often not well suited to delivering on federal government projects, which often have a structure - such as fixed scope and delivery timelines - that is not easily or naturally accommodated by Agile. To fill the gap between what Agile does well at the team level, and the risk management requirements of medium-to-large projects, we have developed the Agile Risk Management (ARM) Framework.

On the flip-side, travelers have the right to choose other airlines in the future, and stock-holders have the right to buy or sell United Airlines stock. To me the issue is whether removing Dr. Dao and the other passengers was a decision that was a) ethical, and b) served the best interests of the passen...

Team Six - Timing is everything! 18F and The CIO Playbook.

Most of us at Agile Six have experience delivering software to government programs.   Federal employees are some of the most genuine and purpose-driven people with whom I have ever worked. It is particularly meaningful for me to have empowered social workers in the family advocacy programs at VHA, AFMOA or MEDCOM.  These are people that have dedicated their careers in service of Veterans and Military Families. While some of these wonderful people are certainly more tech savvy than I am, the bulk of them don't have enough time to follow all tech trends.  This is why we are particularly excited about some of the trends in federal technology buying.   This is why we started our own firm . The folks at GSA have assembled a group of very intelligent people over at "18F".  This is a "digital services agency" seeded by 11 former Presidential Innovation Fellows and pushing smart concepts such as Lean Start Up methods, Agile,  Open Source software, and Minimum V...
