Crosstalk : The Journal of Defense Software Engineering, April 2007; Volume 20, Issue 4 : Agile Development: Agile Development

By Johnstun, Kase

Summary
Summary: CrossTalk, The Journal of Defense Software Engineering, is an approved U.S. Department of Defense journal. CrossTalk's mission is to encourage the engineering development of software in order to improve the reliability, sustainability, and responsiveness of our warfighting capability and to inform and educate readers on up-to-date policy decisions and new software engineering technologies.

Description
Description: This article equates software engineering decisions to manufacturing products. It then picks six lessons from the last 50 years in manufacturing and applies these lessons to software development; in this article, Esther Derby outlines key collaboration skills that help teams maintain productive relationships, avoid destructive conflict, and benefit from everyone’s best ideas; this article presents thoughts on agility and systems engineering, looking at how systems engineering can be more agile and how it can support agility in other disciplines, hoping to look at systems engineering through the agile lens and to extend the dialogue between agile and plan-driven software proponents into the systems engineering world; the 309th Software Maintenance Group’s Team Software Process (TSP) team successfully addressed many issues to complete its Capability Maturity Model Integration Level 5 assessment while adapting their existing TSP process scripts, measures, and forms; in this article, the author explores why the Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act Loop gets stuck at the decision step process, and it instructs how to put the D in the loop as a basis for effective action; the author describes how the Data Distribution Service data-centric publish-subscribe middleware layer can realize the full potential of a hardware switched fabric network to deliver a complete solution for application developers.

Table of Contents: Agile Development: What Engineering Has in Common With Manufacturing and Why It Matters; by Dr. Alistair Cockburn. This article equates software engineering decisions to manufacturing products. It then picks six lessons from the last 50 years in manufacturing and applies these lessons to software development -- Collaboration Skills for Agile Teams; by Esther Derby. In this article, Esther Derby outlines key collaboration skills that help teams maintain productive relationships, avoid destructive conflict, and benefit from everyone’s best ideas -- Toward Agile Systems Engineering Processes; by Dr. Richard Turner. This article presents thoughts on agility and systems engineering, looking at how systems engineering can be more agile and how it can support agility in other disciplines, hoping to look at systems engineering through the agile lens and to extend the dialogue between agile and plan-driven software proponents into the systems engineering world -- Software Engineering Technology: CMMI Level 5 and the Team Software Process; by David R. Webb, Dr. Gene Miluk, and Jim Van Buren. The 309th Software Maintenance Group’s Team Software Process (TSP) team successfully addressed many issues to complete its Capability Maturity Model Integration Level 5 assessment while adapting their existing TSP process scripts, measures, and forms -- “OO-OO-OO!” The Sound of a Broken OODA Loop; by Dr. David G. Ullman. In this article, the author explores why the Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act Loop gets stuck at the decision step process, and it instructs how to put the D in the loop as a basis for effective action -- Using Switched Fabrics and Data Distribution Service to Develop High Performance Distributed Data-Critical Systems; by Dr. Rajive Joshi. The author describes how the Data Distribution Service data-centric publish-subscribe middleware layer can realize the full potential of a hardware switched fabric network to deliver a complete solution for application developers.
