Read the case study on General Dynamics, provided as a file.
The Combat Identification Server (CIdS) Technology Demonstrator Project
(TDP) has been delivered on time, with quality and budget parameters
using the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM). CIdS is a complex
system and software project. The objective is to help clear “the fog of
war” by providing a picture in the cockpit of an aircraft of the
position of nearby friendly forces on the ground. The selection of DSDM
for the CIdS TDP was motivated by the Tactical Datalinks Delivery Team’s
(TDL DT) objective to demonstrate that complex military technologies
could be delivered without delay or cost overrun. The use of DSDM was a
bold move, but the CIdS project delivered successful outcomes for all
involved. In the current economic environment, delivering acceptable
solutions on time and at a fixed cost is surely a priority for the
Ministry of Defense (MoD). The success of the CIdS project has provided a
good example for the project management in the defense sector.
Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
Speculate on the prominent reasons General Dynamics selected the agile framework they did to use in this project.
Identify the major business problems the project team tried to solve.
Analyze the manner in which the project team applied the agile project
management techniques to ensure they delivered the project on time, on
budget with good quality.
Give your opinion if you agree with the approach(es) identified in Question 2. Justify your response.
Analyze the manner in which the project teams and coaches master the
agile methodology to solve business problems. Determine the approach
that you believe is the most effective. Provide a rationale for your
response.
Determine whether or not the agile approach produced more business
benefits than a traditional project management approach. Justify your
response.
Provide your opinion on the agile coach’s role in this case and
determine if the coach is critical to the success of the project.
Support your answer.
