Abstract
The Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) have historically operated on 18-36 months release cycles for major IT projects. DISA is now striving towards delivering smaller components in 30-60-90 day release cycles. This paper discusses Pragmatics´ successful implementation of agile development techniques into a non-agile shop, our introduction of agile development techniques to DISA to help them achieve their goal of delivering high quality software on shorter release cycles, and our lessons learned along the way.
