Prerequisite: None
Advance planning for extreme application development can greatly benefit government, given the rapid turnaround required to quickly realize an agency’s immediate IT priorities short of a traditional and often protracted development cycle. Drawing from real-life experiences at the U.S. Department of Transportation such as the "Cash for Clunkers" program, this workshop will highlight certain steps agencies can take to successfully react to unanticipated demands for highly scalable systems functionality based on rough volume estimates, preliminary workflows, and immature data definitions.
Tim Schmidt and Colleen Coggins will emphasize the use of IT project management fundamentals during extreme application development, including ongoing requirement validation, capacity analysis, system design, testing, communications, and expectation management. Proactively establishing an extreme application development strategy based on these principles may strengthen an agency’s capacity for the expedited delivery of stable, reliable, and secure applications.
