The key next steps are to pilot the KSS with several organizations and fine-tune the simulator based on pilot
results. Piloting the KSS would require adjusting the SE processes for purposes of the Kanban scheduling and
customizing it for a given SoS development organization. Pilot results can be used to improve the simulator through
verification and calibration using empirical data and pilot organizations’ feedback. Based on the size of the pilots
and their current scheduling algorithms, it may also be possible to further explore the scalability of KSS as well as
compare KSS performance to other scheduling approaches
