I would say that depends largely on the project. Some projects are purposefully trying to appropriate ideas from the tech world (development lifecycle practices, etc.) but others are pretty firm in holding on to more traditional gov&#x27;t ways of operating. Flight projects in particular have not changed very dramatically, and that is probably not a bad thing.<p>My least favorite part about the traditional ways are that they tend to be very poor at estimating FTE&#x2F;WYE needs for a body of work, and will more often than not err towards over-estimation. This ends up necessitating the creating of busy-work to make use of all assigned personnel. Mostly by adding extra checks and documentation that many would agree are not very beneficial.<p>It&#x27;s hard to be lean when you&#x27;re given 15 more people than you actually need, basically.
