2.1: Definition
Publish a Common Definition of Agile Development. Other Information:
Promulgating a common approach to agile development for IT procurement by Federal agencies is essential. OMB should issue
new non-mandatory guidance and templates on how to undertake agile IT development programs. That guidance should include the
following elements: * Developing requirements for a system architecture * Identifying an initial operating capability * Keeping
individual requirements under configuration management * Planning for software and hardware releases at frequent increments
* Identifying sets of requirements to be included in each software release * Ensuring that each software item is scheduled
for a specific release date In addition, a process should be developed for Government and industry to work together in the
initial stages of a project to come up with a percentage-of-capability/year plan appropriate to that project.
