Description
Summary:Agile methodologies have revolutionized general-purpose software development by offering flexibility and efficiency. In contrast, the aerospace industry has traditionally relied on waterfall methodologies, which are perceived to provide greater safety, reliability, and compliance with strict regulatory requirements. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the adoption of Agile practices within the space and aeronautics industry. The review explores four key topics: the contexts in which Agile methodologies have been applied, the frameworks utilized, the motivations and challenges encountered during implementation, and the benefits and limitations observed in these efforts. Additionally, the paper identifies gaps in current research and highlights opportunities for future studies in this domain.
