Flying the Friendly Skies: Navigating Agile Projects

by David Rooney

I'm in the process of fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a pilot, as I'm close to finishing the training for my private pilot's license. During this venture, I've been struck numerous times by the parallels between the principles and practices of aviation and those of agile software development. Many principles are based on common sense and clear communication.

One area in particular that stands out is in navigation, where both the principles and the history of aeronautical navigation parallel software development. This Executive Update chronicles the advances in aircraft navigation and how these ideas relate to software development.
