This document discusses how genomics research and personalized medicine can benefit from agile principles and practices. It provides examples of how the Human Genome Project and next-generation genome sequencing have used rapid, incremental approaches. The document also presents a case study where Tieto helped reduce data preparation time, storage needs, and release cycles for a genomic data warehouse through techniques like data virtualization and cloud computing. Finally, it argues that science and software development share commonalities and that agile transformations allow Tieto to better support fields involving genomics and personalized diagnostics.
