This is pretty hilarious. So some consultants swooped in, there was 8 weeks of training, and now everything is going to go back to how it was.

Source: seen more than one of these external “transformation” efforts.

“ Through an eight-week Red Hat Open Innovation Labs residency, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics replaced the waterfall development process it used for F-22 Raptor upgrades with an agile methodology and DevSecOps practices that are more adaptive to the needs of the U.S. Air Force.“

“Colonel, instead of requirements you’ll call them user stories.”
And don't worry there's even more mandatory meetings than before.

I used to work for Lockheed Martin. I believe it.

I found it so hilarious I was relieved when I finally got caught up in the layoffs.

Next week: this weeks sprint is behind schedule by 8 weeks, we need to push all sprints out by 6 months. Also we found some security vulns that need hot patched, which could either take 6 weeks or 6 months. We should probably bring the consultants back for another 12 weeks to get the ball rolling. We might be able to save a few weeks if we outsource some of the work to our subs in india...
What year is this again?
