What Risks Cause Projects to Fail?
 Conceptual
 Are we building the right thing?
 Technical
 Will it technically work?
 Schedule
 Will it be delivered ‘on-time’
 Agile Can Help!

Reduce Risks with Agile
 Conceptual Risk
 Deliver small increments & get feedback
 Stakeholders can “see” something tangible, grasp the concept
 Technical Risk
 Use ‘spike’ solutions to provide out the technical risks early
 Change course before too much has been invested
 Schedule Risk
 Release in small increments, adjust scope vs. dates
®

Software Testing
 All User Stories / Requirements Need to be Tested
 Acceptance tests that can be understood by the users
 Automated unit tests that run with Continuous Integration
 Automated scenario, UI, API, tests where possible
 Test-Driven Development
 Structural Testing Done Early
 Don’t leave performance, security, etc. to the end

Requirements Traceability & Compliance
 Requirements come in many forms
 Overarching policy goals
 Statutes, laws and regulations
 Functional requirements (“user stories”)
 Unlike in commercial software, mission systems are
required to have traceability from each test step to each
requirement.
 You need to be agile, with flexibility to “change
requirements”, but you have to compliant!
