Independent Verification and Validation for Agile Projects 1:02:23

24 weeks ago1:02:23

1:02:23

Traditionally, independent verification and validation (IV&V) is performed by an independent team throughout a program’s milestones or once the software is formally delivered. This approach allows the IV&V team to provide input at the various milestone gates. As more programs move to an Agile approach, those milestones aren’t as clearly defined since requirements, design, implementation, and testing all happen iteratively, sometimes over years of development. In this new paradigm, IV&V teams are struggling to figure out how to add value to the program earlier in the lifecycle by getting in phase with development. This webcast will highlight a novel approach to providing IV&V for projects using an Agile or iterative software development. What Attendees Will Learn: What adopting an Agile mindset for IV&V could look like How focusing on capabilities and using a risk-based perspective could help drive planning for your team Techniques to help the IV&V team get more in phase with the developer while remaining independent…
