Collaborative Experience between Scientific Software Projects using Agile Scrum Development

Understand

Developing sustainable software for the scientific community requires expertise in software engineering and domain science.

• This can be challenging due to the unique needs of scientific software, the insufficient resources for software engineering practices in the scientific community, and the complexity of developing for evolving scientific contexts.
• While open-source software can partially address these concerns, it can introduce complicating dependencies and delay development.
• These issues can be reduced if scientists and software developers collaborate.
