Abstract :
The agile process approach used in software engineering was adapted as a foundation for the management of the multimedia art installation project titled "Trigger." By beginning with requirements engineering and risk management assessments, instead of rigid planning, the project was designed with flexibility that allowed for iterative adjustment. The residency period drew the artist, Jody Zellen, and the computer scientists together for agile learning by the processes of doing and testing. This style of management allowed the group to act decisively with incomplete information, thereby successfully finishing the project in time to meet a rigid deadline
