Description
Joint Operational Medicine Information System (JOMIS) uses agile methodology to develop and maintain a comprehensive portfolio of software applications to transform health care to deployed service members across the globe. JOMIS, under Program Executive Office Defense Healthcare Management Systems, develops, deploys, maintains, and modernizes operational medicine Information Technology systems. This poster will show how JOMIS uses an iterative agile development methodology to break projects into smaller phases and emphasizes continuous collaboration and improvement across products’ lifecycle. JOMIS performs agile methodology through two-week development sprints to implement changes and obtain feedback. During these sprints, JOMIS collaborates with its stakeholder community and software developers to review defects and prioritize needed fixes and improvements. These efforts help JOMIS complete the integral testing, evaluation, and assessment phase of product development and ensure successful delivery of comprehensive health services to deployed forces across the full range of military operations.
