Setting Current Context for Agility in the Future of Systems Engineering

Abstract

Agility in the future of systems engineering (FuSE) is one of the topic areas under the INCOSE FuSE initiative. A roadmap for near-term improvement, presented at the 2021 INCOSE International Symposium, offered nine strategic concepts appropriate and ready for further movement toward standard practice. Initial work in that direction enticed several practitioners and researchers to address selected concepts in this special issue of the INCOSE INSIGHT publication. The purpose of this lead-off article is to provide a contextual backdrop for the articles that follow.
