Industry leaders and project managers will explore the application of agile methods to large, safety-critical, cyber-physical systems. The goal of the workshop is to equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively implement agile practices, even under the constraints of stringent safety standards and hardware integration challenges.

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the agile frameworks that lend themselves to scaling in complex environments and how these methods can be adapted to the unique requirements of hardware-dependent development projects. The workshop will cover essential topics such as the core principles of Agile, integrating hardware into Agile cycles, and navigating the regulatory frameworks typical of the aerospace and defense industry.

Through a series of interactive modules, including case studies, group discussions and problem-solving exercises, participants will learn how to overcome common obstacles to agile transformations and how to foster an agile culture in traditionally rigid environments. Special emphasis will be placed on strategies for continuous integration, iterative testing and managing hardware backlogs.

This workshop is designed to provide not only a theoretical understanding, but also practical insights and actionable strategies, making it an invaluable resource for those looking to improve their project management approaches when developing safety-critical systems. Join us to bridge the gap between agile theory and its practical application in the most demanding environments.
