Discovering, Analyzing, and Managing Safety Stories in Agile Projects

Traditionally, safety-critical projects have been de- veloped using the waterfall process. However, this makes it costly and challenging to incrementally introduce new features and to certify the modified product for use. As a result, there has been increasing interest in adopting agile development paradigms within the safety-critical domain. This in turn intro- duces numerous challenges. In this paper we address the specific problems of discovering, analyzing, specifying, and managing safety requirements within the agile Scrum process.
