“…It is a single‐team process outline used to manage product development that runs on time‐boxes with consistent durations, usually called ‘sprints’, where a potentially releasable increment of product is produced. It consists of Scrum roles, artifacts, and rules (Freitas et al, 2020; Lei et al, 2017; Schwaber & Sutherland, 2017). Scrum is based on a team composed by three scrum roles: Product Owner, Development Team, and the Scrum Master.…”

Companies face new challenges needing to find ways to stand out from the competitors. All companies face new projects, which need to be managed assertively and faster, launching new products on the market ahead of competitors. This strategy requires enormous dexterity and agility within teams, which are increasingly multifaceted, multidisciplinary, and multifunctional. However, teams need to conciliate appar-

Aircraft are intricate flying machines equipped with advanced technologies and state-of-the-art information and communication systems. Maintaining these aircraft to ensure maximum availability and minimal downtime is a critical and challenging task. Therefore, aircraft maintenance, repair, and servicing are of utmost importance. This research work aims to develop a methodology for reliability centred maintenance (RCM) to enhance aircraft availability. An RCM approach with the Multi attribute decision making (MADM) technique for assigning criticality of systems was implemented to improve aircraft availability. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMECA) was utilized for the failure investigation in the aircraft systems. However, instead of the Risk priority number (RPN) due to its inherent flaws, the Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was utilized to evaluate the criticality of systems. The remedial measures to minimize the failure frequency and downtime were proposed. The improvement in availability, post implementation of proposed preventive maintenance was validated with positive results. An improvement of approximately 6.62% in availability and a reduction of about 15.71% in the total downtime was observed on the implementation of proposed preventive measures. The availability analysis was carried out for aircraft systems; however, the model could also be used for other repairable systems following a similar maintenance philosophy.

“…The hardware design for the CubeSat Multi-Mission Bus Demonstration (MBD) project leveraged Agile processes (Huang, P.M. et al, 2012). A major multinational military aviation company uses Agile processes to develop their family of aircraft (Freitas et al, 2020). The Defense Innovation Units (DIUs) like NavalX are focusing on how to provide Agile processes to a variety of warfighting areas, where Scrum can be applied in a militaristic construct (NavalX, 2022).…”

Cyber Ranges provide an interactive simulated environment of hardware and software for simulation. This closed environment provides a safe and legal environment where cyber warfighters can refine their skills. They enable mock cyber mission rehearsal of operation playbooks. Simulated cyber capabilities in the cyber range parallel the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), Order of Battle (OOB), and battle damage assessment (BDA) in a closed, safe environment for experimentation. Scrum has been used in collegial cyber competitions with success because it has allowed Capture-the-Flag cyber games to create quicker simulations. Defense Innovation Units (DIUs) are using agile Scrum processes to numerous warfighting areas in order to make them more agile. This research argues that the agile software development processes could be used to optimize the planning and execution of offensive, defensive, and operation and maintenance (O&M) of cyber warfare simulations within cyber ranges. O&M can be done quicker, new exploitable modules can be includer more rapidly, and the capability can be reconstituted to the appropriate skill level for the next set of trainees quicker. The White team as maintainers of the networks, systems, applications and cyber tools select the CVE exploits and spend an enormous amount of time installing and configuring these capabilities for the next set of trainees. Quite often, there are different skill levels which require multiple builds and the ability to refresh the cyber range with varying levels of cyber trainee complexity. This requirement to restore the cyber range quickly with a variety of builds, varying levels of difficulty, and ensure the experiential learning is maximized with the best availability lends to agile methods such as Scrum could lend to improvements with cyber operations. This research will illustrate how a cyber range could leverage agile Scrum processes to provide an improved cyber range environment quicker and with more capabilities.
