Scaling Agility: Agile Systems Engineering

Over the past months I've come across a bunch of good links & papers on the topic of "Going Agile" at the program-level for large systems and systems of systems. Some of these relate to Agile program Management and others are more about Agile Systems Engineering (and some relate to both). I'll mention the ones on Agile Systems Engineering in this blog-entry and leave the ones on agile program management for a subsequent entry:

• Barry Boehm's XP2006 Keynote: Product and Process Architectures for Integrating Agile and Plan-Driven Methods
• The Future of Systems Engineering and Software Processes
• A View of 20th & 21st Century Software Processes
• 21st Century Processes for Acquiring 21st Century Software-Intensive Systems of Systems
• Some Future Trends and Implications for Systems and Software Engineering Processes


• Guidelines for Lean Model-Based (System) Architecting and Software Engineering
  
• Agile COCOMO II Cost Estimation
  
• Systems Engineering and Architecting Challenges: Application to Agile Development, by Murray Cantor
• Integrating Agile Methods, and Teaching the Elephant to Dance: Agility Meets Systems of Systems Engineering and Acquisition from the CSE 2005 Annual Research Review


• Agile SYSTEMS ENGINEERING versus AGILE SYSTEMS engineering
  
• Fundamental Principles for Agile Systems Engineering


• Agile PM and Systems Engineering, by Glen Alleman
  
• Large Project Management as a Systems Engineering Discipline, by Glenn Alleman
  
• Lessons Learned Using Agile Methods on Large Defense Contracts
  
• Agile Systems Engineering for Creative Anti-Terror Solutions
  
• Engineering Complex Systems @ MITRE

That's the best I came up with. If you know of other good links on this topic, please send me a comment!
