Introducing Agile/DevSecOps into the Space Acquisition Environment. Orosz, M., Duffy, B., Charlton, C., & Spear, L. C. 2022. Excerpt from the Proceedings of the Nineteenth Annual Acquisition Research Symposium
Introducing Agile/DevSecOps into the Space Acquisition Environment [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The University of Southern California (USC) and its Information Sciences Institute (USC-ISI) is undertaking research into improving the space-based systems acquisition process through the adoption of agile and DevSecOps methodologies. The USC-ISI team is currently undertaking research and systems engineering analysis to explore the mission engineering methods, analysis, metrics and training needed to transition from a traditional DoDI 5000.02 waterfall development environment to an agile/DevSecOps space systems acquisition environment. Over the past several years, the project team has been embedded at the U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command, Production Corps (SSC/PC), developing performance measuring tools, collecting performance metrics and providing subject matter expertise on three projects – a traditional waterfall project, a hybrid parallel waterfall and agile development project and an on-going long-term highly agile development effort that is subject to traditional waterfall acquisition reporting requirements. This paper summarizes initial research results and lessons learned along with a discussion on next steps.
