Abstract

This paper was produced to focus attention on the opportunities and challenges for embedding information assurance (IA) considerations into Agile development and acquisition in support of the Agile acquisition research underway at the Software Engineering Institute. U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) implementers of Agile have pointed to delays in IA approvals as one of their key frustrations. The use of Agile is providing results faster, only to have operational implementation delayed for six months or more waiting for IA approvals.
