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.
