Agile, Traceablity and Audit Compliancy
Software companies manages their projects in many different ways: they follow a very formal v-model process for HW Products specification and development to SW integrators with hundreds of small Agile projects.
Very often they have a common requirement: they need to be compliant with some regulatory standards: CMMI, SPICE, ISO 26262, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, IEC 62304.
Is it really possible to be compliant with regulations and still work in an Agile way? With Polarion, the answer is a definitely YES.
In our presentation we show you practical examples what TÜV NORD was requesting when they were certifying a first product managed by SCRUM process for ISO 26262 – certifying the process for quality and safety.
