Summary
Summary: CrossTalk, The Journal of Defense Software Engineering, is an approved U.S. Department of Defense journal.

Description
Description: These authors discuss how they combined agile and traditional software development techniques for this award-winning program; here are some helpful guidelines for managing cultural changes in your organization whether you implement maturity models, Six Sigma, or other techniques to improve your processes; this article describes the authors’ efforts in performing post-award cooperative appraisals, the lessons learned, and the benefits to both the government and the appraised organization; this article discusses the qualification of development tools and the potential impact of this process on the aviation industry; this author explains how you can handle mounting trouble reports, meet release dates, resolve bottlenecks, and more by using an old method to monitor production called Line of Balance in a new way; this author suggests a model to predict the quality of software developed over time, where the reusable components are evolving; this author explores the significance of the differences between the two meanings of Six Sigma: a process improvement approach, or a statistical measure for variation.
