Tom Gilb presents Agile Engineering (AE): or 'Quantified Value(s) Agile’

Tom Gilb and Scrum Event presents Agile Engineering (AE): or 'Quantified Value(s) Agile’

1. Real Software Engineering, not just about coding, Not ‘CodeFlow’ like some agile methods.
2. Systems (level) Thinking: even for ‘Programs’ you need to integrate people, data, legal, hardware, cloudware and more.
3. Stakeholder Engineering: not merely ‘customer and user’: Stakeholder Stories, Stakeholder Xperience (SX not UX)
4. Simultaneous Multi-Values and Multi-Cost Requirements; as Agile Efficiency Measure, "Agility for Efficiency”.
5. Multi-Value Flow Optimization, Multi-Constraint Consideration.
6. Dynamic Design to Efficiency (Value/Cost): The Architect in the Agile Loop (IBM Cleanroom, Evo)
7. 100X Defect-Prevention from Requirements; using Spec QC + Planguage; at Intel, in practice. (Terzakis)
8. Dynamic Stepwise Priority Computation, based on Efficiency and Constraints. Using Impact Estimation Tables.
9. AI, Web 3.0, Solid, Symantic Triples, Ontology& Digitization. = Very High-Tech Agile Future: Bye Bye Yellow Stickies.
10. Scale-Free Agile methods, as proven big time, at Intel, and other places.
11. Agile Engineering on a small scale (16 Norway Developers, 4 x 4 Teams, at Confirmit, capture international market with dramatic product quality increases)
12. "Principles of Agile Engineering” : Logical Common Sense.
13. µActs: + -> Tailored Practices -> Tailored Methods: BYOM Bring Your Own Method. ‘Essence' and D.A.
14. Musk’s Methods (added to talk slides 20 Feb 2022)
15. Stakeholder Engineering book added 2022
16. Simple book (added 2023)
17. Penta Model. (Added 2023)

In 2005 I trained his top managers, and he titled me ‘Friend of the House’. I Helped change the economy of India.

Voluntary Consultant to Norwegian Christian Aid, in planning International Help, like Guatemala Peace Process. They used my methods extensively for planning.

Invented ‘Planguage’ (A Planning Language): from 1960s, and still being refined.

Invented ‘Evo’, The Evolutionary Value-Delivery ‘Agile' Process. (Planguage component)

Invented the ‘Impact Estimation Table’ (Planguage component)

Published First Book on 'Software Metrics' (1976) and coined the term.

I published a book (Studentlitteratur Lund) 1976 and coined the term 'Data Engineering'

First book on IT Human Factors/Usability. 'Humanized Input', 1976 with G. Weinberg.

First published book on ‘Software Inspection’ (1993 w D. Graham)

Major Corporate spread of our methods, with well documented results at Intel, HP, Boeing, Ericsson, Philips and others (banks, shipping etc)

Credited by Ron Radice, (CMM-Inventor at IBM, and SEI) with ‘CMM Level 4’, based on 'Software Metrics'.

IEEE has adopted Planguage for Requirements Engineering and Spec QC (2017-2018) in connection with Requirement Training and working towards IREB Compliance (S Gregory, E Simmons, J Terzakis)

Honorary Fellow of NORSEC Norwegian Systems Engineering Association (INCOSE).

Credited as 'Grandfather of Agile' by most of Agile Manifesto signatories.

My ‘Evo’ method is a root method of Agile methods according to Gartner Group 2018

Author of Gilb’s Laws of UnReliabiity (Datamation 1971)

Creator of 100’s of basic Principles of systems engineering (ca. 100 per book) + 10 per paper.

Gilb's Law reported by Tom DeMarco in Peopleware about page 49-50. "Qualities can always be quantified”.

Also cited by D. Hubbard.

Gilb’s Law*: "Anything you need to quantify can be measured in some way that is superior to not measuring it at all.”*
Gilb’s Law doesn't promise you that measurement will be free or even cheap, and it may not be perfect - just better than nothing.
