1. Incremental Commitment Spiral Model, Expedited Engineering, and Kanban Jo Ann Lane and Alexey Tregubov USC CSSE Rich Turner Stevens University

2. Outline Incremental Commitment Spiral Model (ICSM) Overview ICSM and lean engineering Kanban processes for large, complex development organizations 3/13/13CSSE ARR 20132

3. What is the ICSM? Risk-driven framework for determining and evolving best-fit system life-cycle process Integrates the strengths of phased and risk-driven spiral process models Synthesizes together principles critical to successful system development –Stakeholder value-based system definition and evolution –Incremental commitment and accountability –Concurrent hardware, human factors, and software system definition and development –Evidence-based and risk-based decision-making Principles trump diagrams… Principles used by 60-80% of CrossTalk Top-5 projects, 2002-2005 3 3/13/13CSSE ARR 2013

5. Small Custom Software Systems 3/13/13 5 Case IDNameDescription 1Agile Software developed using pure agile methods with short-duration sprints 2Architected agile Initial sprint focuses on foundations/architecture issues, then transitions to pure agile process for development of software capabilities 3Formal methods Critical software system or subsystem, often containing security- or safety- relevant software or critical/high-precision algorithms that must be rigorously developed, tested, and often certified CSSE ARR 2013

6. COTS-Based 3/13/13 6 Case IDNameDescription 4COTS-Based System Systems range from single COTS products to multiple integrated COTS products. CSSE ARR 2013

7. Larger, More Complex Hardware/Software Systems 3/13/13 CSSE ARR 20137 Case IDNameDescription 5 Software-intensive device Hardware-software user-interactive device not part of a product line 6 Large software-intensive system Large software-intensive system with varying component types/complexity. Differs from system of systems in that components are typically always integrated and not reconfigured for specific system missions. 7Platform-based system Large-scale platform with embedded software systems. Development is driven by hardware platform and software supports platform capabilities. 8 System of systems/ enterprise-wide systems Set of independent (constituent) systems that can be integrated together in a manner that allows them to interoperate and perform cross-cutting mission-specific capabilities. 9 Family of systems/product lines Set of systems that can interoperate with each other or are related to each other (e.g., have common components) as part of a product line. 10 Brownfield modernization Incremental legacy phase-out.
