Agile methods have gained wide acceptance over the past several years. They are now a standard management and execution approach for small‐scale system development projects. While Agile methods are not generally applicable to large multiyear and mission‐critical systems, hybrid Agile approaches are being developed to exploit the productivity improvements of Agile while retaining the necessary process rigor and coordination needs of these types of projects. From the perspective of Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V), however, adoption of these hybrid‐Agile frameworks is becoming problematic. Hence, we find it prudent to question the compatibility of conventional IV&V techniques with hybrid‐Agile practices.

在敏捷框架内应用标准独立的验证和确认技术：识别和协调不兼容性

在过去的几年中，敏捷方法已得到广泛认可。现在，它们已成为小型系统开发项目的标准管理和执行方法。尽管敏捷方法通常不适用于大型的多年期和关键任务系统，但正在开发混合敏捷方法来利用敏捷的生产率提高，同时保留这些类型项目的必要流程严格性和协调需求。但是，从独立验证和确认（IV＆V）的角度来看，采用这些混合敏捷框架变得有问题。因此，我们谨慎地质疑传统IV＆V技术与混合敏捷实践的兼容性。
