This document summarizes a presentation on how the National Offshore and Petroleum Safety Authority (NOPSA) adopted an agile approach. It discusses how NOPSA faced unpredictable changes and regulatory pressures after oil rig accidents. Agile methods helped with rapid feedback, user acceptance testing, and flexibility. NOPSA saw benefits like incremental delivery, subject matter experts designing systems, accepting changes, and fewer surprises. As a result, agile is gaining momentum at NOPSA.
