Abstract

The 4+1 principles document common principles of software safety assurance that can be observed from software safety standards and best practice. These principles are constant across domains and across projects, and can be regarded as the immutable core of any software safety justification. The principles also help maintain understanding of the 'big picture' of software safety issues whilst examining and negotiating the detail of individual standards, and provide a reference model for cross-sector certification. This document discusses the challenges posed when applying these principles to Scrum, and makes initial recommendations for how the principles can be accommodated within a Scrum development.
