Robin Yeman – Expertise spanning over twenty-eight years in software engineering with focus on Digital Engineering, DevSecOps, and Agile building large complex solutions across multiple domains from submarines to satellites. She advocates for continuous learning with multiple certifications including SAFe Fellow, SPCT, CEC, PMP, PMI-ACP, and CSEP. She is a Systems Engineering PhD candidate at Colorado State researching best practices to deliver large-scale safety-critical cyber-physical solutions using Agile and DevSecOps. Key areas of focus include Systems Thinking, Digital Engineering, DevSecOps and Agile. She has also led several efforts in Agile transformation and continues to lend her expertise in Agile techniques and processes on management, schedule, cost, and technical performance.
Dr. Suzette Johnson works for Northrop Grumman Corporation near Baltimore, Maryland. As an NG Fellow for Lean Agile, she works for Space Systems fostering operational and program excellence to achieve mission outcomes. Her experience with Lean Agile began twenty years ago spanning across IT systems and software and systems engineering for cyber-physical systems. She has led the adoption of Lean Agile across the enterprise and has supported over 100 internal projects and government programs on the Lean-Agile journey. She holds several certifications including Scaled Agile Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT), Certified Enterprise Coach, PMP, and PMI-ACP. She is an active member within NDIA and is currently serving as NDIA Systems Engineering Division, vice chair. She received a Doctorate of Management Technology at the University of Maryland with a dissertation focused on investigating the Impact of leadership styles on software project outcomes in traditional and agile environments. In collaboration with Robin Yeman, they have published multiple papers on Industrial DevOps through IT Revolution where they outline how to expand DevSecOps outside of software into management, hardware and firmware. Most recently they published a book, Industrial DevOps: build better systems faster. |
