However, with regard to mission- and security-critical organizations, traditional Agile methodologies are quite ineffective because they do not clearly address issues of (1) quality and (2) security. Within the Italian Army General Staff Logistic Department, a new Agile methodology was introduced to tackle quality and security issues in a classified and mission-critical context.
