Abstract
The innovations introduced in the Italian Army in Software (SW) Development Methodologies in the context of the “ITA ARMY AGILE” (IAA) initiative require attentive and tailored governance with regard to the growth of the enterprise complexity and the future requirements related to the development of Command and Control systems. Starting from a limited approach centered on a single Integrated Development Team (IDT), an unprecedented growth of the product is being experienced due essentially to the fact that the customer has been “educated” and is now capable of stating its needs. Consequently, in the positive environment created and witnessed by the change of mentality, a brief description of the issues, chiefly but not solely linked to the scarcity of resources, time management, and procedures complexity, will be provided in order to take the whole Land Command and Control Evolution (LC2EVO) under the expected control.
