Abstract

The adoption of agile methodologies in all domains of software development is a desired goal. Unfortunately, many obstacles have been meet in the past for a full adoption in secure and safe systems, where different standards and operational constraints apply. In this paper we propose a novel agile methodology to be applied in the development of safety critical systems. In particular, we developed an extension of the well-known Scrum methodology and discussed the complete workflow. We finally validated the applicability of the methodology over a real case study from the railway domain.
