INCOSE WMA October 2020 Monthly Meeting: Agile In Government – Observations From The Field by Dr. Subash Kafle and Dr. Shakila Khan
Wednesday, October 14, 2020 @ 630PM - 8PM
Governments in their effort to modernize their environments are migrating away from traditional waterfall towards more agile approaches that allows for iterative delivery cycle and changing business needs[1]. Government has responded with preference for agencies to adopt agile practices throughout the systems engineering life cycle (SELC) especially within the Defense and civilian Federal government agencies [2]. Agile practices and frameworks have been used across private sector and industries for the last two decades [3] and the acceptance of the agile approach has skyrocketed due its usability, scalability, and effectiveness in software development, project management, and other design and development practices.
This interactive presentation will discuss and present the U.S. Government challenges and opportunities and common agency strategic themes for agile adoption and implementation. Additionally, the insights from the State of Agile report will be discussed.

Dr. Subash Kafle has been supporting different federally funded research and development centers (FFRDC) at MITRE Corporation for past 10 years. Major technical areas for which he provided SME support included early systems engineering domains such as Strategy and Planning; Requirements Engineering and Management; Agile Systems Engineering; and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). In addition to his educations and certifications in SE, Subash have continued his active involvement in various research, outreach, and practical implementations of SE initiatives.
Outside of MITRE, Subash continually helps systems engineering body of knowledge through his active role within local and national INCOSE working groups.
