How defense and commercial aviation programs adopt fast-paced development without violating airworthiness rigor.
Agile emphasizes rapid iteration and working software, while DO-178C was designed around strict V-model waterfall gates where requirements must theoretically be frozen before coding begins.
AvionicsOps implements micro-V models within two-week sprints: user stories are mapped to formal High-Level Requirements (HLRs), code changes trigger automated unit testing, and pull requests cannot merge without complete bi-directional traceability.
By presenting auditors with transparent, automated compliance dashboards rather than static documents, aerospace teams build trust and accelerate Stage of Involvement (SOI) audit milestones.
