Workshop Community 6: Experiences with Agile and Lean
EuroSPI will elaborate some guidance for agile and lean by a set of workshop series. The results of a year will lead to a further call of paper for next year, to build a continuous series of discussions and recommended best practices.

Definition of Agile and of Lean
Agile and lean are not the same. What is agile and what is lean? How much agile is possible in a safety critical development in a car, plane, medical device? What are the principles of lean and is it possible to be lean and agile at the same time? Is just implementing SCRUM already covering the principles of agile and Lean or probably not?
Agile and/or lean principles work differently in different domains: IT service, Automotive, production of components etc.
Enter the World of Agile and Lean
In this workshop series success factors and examples of being lean and agile are introduced, explained, and discussed. This should offer an entrance to the world of agile and lean.
Workshop Program 2017
We invite experts who are working with
• Agile development models
• Agile management models
• Agile production models
• Lean development models
• Lean management models
• Lean production models
• Concepts integrating agile and lean
• Best practices and bad practices in implementing agile and lean
• Standards supporting agile and lean
• Agile in safety critical developments
• Lean in safety critical environments
• Applying agile or lean in different domains
Interactive Workshop Approach
Focus of interest and main questions discussed during the workshop will be:
Best practices for agile and/or lean
Bad practices for agile and/or lean
Applying agile and/or lean in domains (car, plane, medical)
Integrating agile and/or lean with existing rigorous development norms (safety, cybersecurity)
Each presentation will be discussed towards these main topics of interest. A panel discussion at the end shall come up with a summary of the solutions presented and with new research topics to focus on to solve this integrated approach (work for next year to meet at next EuroAsiaSPI and share again).
