- ORIGINALITY: The paper is first exploration of the introduction and adaptation of agile methods to suit a safety critical development environment, from the perspective of practitioners. SIGNIFICANCE: The paper was published in the highest ranked journal for the field. Few studies of this form exist, due to the sensitivity of the field. RIGOUR: Semi-structured interview instrument design and analysis followed established standards for methodically linking responses to research questions. Extended interviews and validation activities lasting more than 15 hours were conducted with engineers representing four diverse software teams within a security sensitive, large scale safety critical engineering organisation.
