Today, waterfall and agile are the two predominantly used project management approaches in IT. But with the world of software development moving away from waterfall-type approaches to more agile approaches like scrum, kanban, and SAFe, IT infrastructure teams face a seemingly difficult challenge of how to stay relevant in this new world. The answer is simple — do what’s right to provide the best value to your customer. These lean approaches can unlock efficiencies and boost your infrastructure capabilities.
For space, mission success will come from building a digital force to keep up with, even outpace, challenges
Space missions carry arguably the heaviest burden and complexity out of all government endeavors, whether the objective is elevating our knowledge of the heavens or preserving national security. When NASA, DOD, and the intelligence community send something into orbit or beyond, they need to be sure it works and doesn’t interfere with what’s working out there. You get one shot at the best solution when you put things in space.

At Air Force and Space Force-hosted Hack-A-Sat event, we finished in the top 10% in a global field of nearly 700 participants
Ethical hacking seems almost oxymoronic. The two words have near-polar opposite meanings, yet the practice of ethical hacking is one of the most important priorities for government agencies seeking to protect themselves from cyberattacks.
SAIC provides weather access to keep missions moving forward, no matter the weather
Every time it rains, every hour the sun shines, and every time a severe weather event occurs, you may not think of it, but meteorologists across the country collect massive amounts of data. Weather affects almost every aspect of our lives, and leveraging that data offers potential benefits while also mitigating impacts.
Evolving innovation in the space industry
Orville and Wilbur Wright took flight on Dec. 17, 1903, for just under a minute of flight time. The aeronautical feat ushered in a deluge of innovation that dotted the skies with more and more flying machines.
How IT and Cloud Accelerate DOD Missions
SAIC helps technical professionals become leaders in their communities of practice
Thought leaders don’t sit in ivory towers. They are active in their communities of practice, honing the art of their disciplines, discovering new uses for technology, and sharing knowledge. Seeking diversity of thought enhances the wisdom that already exists and results in thought leaders, not thought theorists.
How the Department of Defense Is Modernizing via Cloud Adoption
SAIC’s Bob Ritchie, vice president of software, and Air Force Lt. Col. Todd Watson share Cloud One’s digital transformation highlights at Government Executive's Roadmap to Modernization event.
With smallsats, satellites are shrinking to speed manufacture and cut costs, cycle times, and risk
Growing worldwide commercialization and exploration of space significantly benefit every industry – from academia to government and defense. Part of this new space revolution is the increasing use and advancement of small satellites, or smallsats. Smallsats typically weigh 500 kilograms or less and have less mass than traditional satellites.
