Why Agile Development?





BAE Systems, along with our government customer, has been
producing software in agile development
Due to government budget cuts, contractors needed to find a way to
decrease cost maintaining a high level of CM/DM for their products
Agile Development, unlike traditional development, allows more
flexibility during the entire software development process
Agile Development allows more frequent software releases to the
customer
Agile Development allows more participation by the development team
and the customer

CM/DM Process in Waterfall Development

Negatives:




CM and DM processes were only applied at the end of the cycle before the
products were released to the customer
Processes are often skipped or modified to save time and get the products
out on time
Customer doesn’t have the opportunity to see the completed project until
the end of the development cycle
Increase costs occur with changing requirements and/or product features
