SPEAKER PRESENTATION

Engineering Agile Systems

Conference Track: Practical Guidance

Methodology is critically important. It’s the business rhythm that keeps all stakeholders aligned and focused on delivering value-added capabilities. However, without a healthy balance on outcomes and results, we become too obsessed with our own practice at the expense of solving the world’s most challenging problems. This presentation will discuss the difference between ""Agile Systems Engineering"" and ""Engineering Agile Systems"" and how CMMI for Development can help organizations deliver capabilities that exhibit operationally agile quality attributes of Evolvability, Resilience, Reliability, and Security.

Leveraging the CMMI Model for Cyber Compliance

Conference Track: Security

Learn how to leverage existing compliance with the CMMI model to comply with the DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification CMMC. The CMMC is one of the most progressive and aggressive industry requirements introduced in recent years. The need for a structured, policy driven cybersecurity program is paramount. This presentation will combine the perspectives of an industry leading expert in operational excellence methodologies and an expert in cybersecurity compliance. The presentation will highlight the similarities and differences in the CMMI and CMMC models. Additionally, guidance will be provided on how to engrain security into existing quality programs versus starting over.
