The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the challenges involved in integrating a smart vehicle into a modern environment, and to ensure the vehicle is current at delivery and will stay current for years to come. The management approach to this task will be agile regarding the hardware and software integration. Agile is an iterative, incremental method of managing the design and build activities for engineering, information technology, and other business areas to provide new product or service development in a flexible and interactive manner. The challenge is to be flexible, and yet to follow industry standards specified to deliver quality systems. In this paper, we will discuss a high level approach to hardware and software integration, and contract management skills required to be successful in this dynamic and rapidly changing environment where as an example we will use the current vehicle procurement of Miami-Dade County.
