SEA Data Warehouse

Processes & Tools

Abstract:

The SEA Data Warehouse is a source of high-quality empirical data. It is valuable for benchmarking, planning, and research, and has been carefully organized to answer a broad set of questions needed in all areas of software development. Because the data is so well defined, the data can be reused for additional questions with high confidence.

Abstract: 

CameoMagic is a YouTube channel and website with a focus on Systems Modeling Language (SysML).  It explains:

  • the low level syntax of the language and buttonology (where to click within the software tool)
  • the mid-level methodologies and design best practices
  • the high level terminology and context (i.e. how SysML fits into Model Based Systems Engineering which fits into Digital Engineering.)

About the Creator

Will Walker is currently a Principal Systems Engineer at Raytheon Intelligence and Space (RI&S) who consults with many RI&S programs to help them implement a digital transformation strategy. At Raytheon, he also teaches classes including an “MBSE Bootcamp” class to Raytheon employees all over the globe. These classes focus on a mixture of architectural design principles, Cameo/MagicDraw software buttonology, SysML/UML language details, and Digital Engineering (DE) principles and objectives.

Will has worked on space, Air Force, Army, and Navy programs during his career on both the government side (NAVSEA) and the contractor side (Raytheon and L3Harris). He has worked on underwater unmanned vehicles, underwater mine warfare systems, drone boats, unmanned aerial vehicles, medium range missiles, radar, and other satellite subsystems. He has his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and graduate degree in systems engineering. Will enjoys both teaching and consulting for DE and MBSE, and is excited to see how the digital transformation continues for years to come. 

Will happily lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife and their dog. He goes kiteboarding in his free time and enjoys cooking something new.

Abstract:

Effective tools can help teams accelerate delivery, improve quality, deliver on their commitments, and reach new levels of performance. This is especially true for high-maturity Agile software development teams.

Last year, members of the Software Excellence Alliance analyzed currently available project management tools, and surveyed teams and community members to assess their most urgent unmet needs.  From this we identified several opportunities to deliver extreme value through targeted tool enhancements.

In 2020, we’ve been hard at work on that roadmap. We’ve completed several exciting new tools and enhancements that include:

  • New high-maturity tool support for individuals and teams
  • New integrations with mainstream agile tools
  • Open source tools that are available free of cost

In this presentation, we’ll demonstrate these new tool capabilities and show how they can help your teams accelerate speed to value.  We’ll also share our vision for 2021 and invite you to help us shape the future of high-maturity agile tools.

About the Presenter

After graduating from MIT in 1994, David Tuma began his software career in the United States Air Force, where he was introduced to the high-maturity agile concepts in the Team Software Process℠. Impressed with TSP’s power and flexibility, he created (and continues to evolve) an open-source toolset called the Process Dashboard, which has been used by tens of thousands of developers worldwide.

David leads the SEA Next-Gen Tools Working Group as they seek opportunities to change the world of software engineering through broader adoption of high-maturity agile techniques.
