System modeling, simulation and visualization enable the understanding of complex systems, an INCOSE Systems Engineering Vision for 2025. Modeling improves understand‐ing, increases quality and improves team performance. Agile Methodologies are used in de‐veloping complex systems. These Agile Methodologies improve quality and team performance with a shorter time to market and improved customer satisfaction. The approach described in this paper builds on the Agile Systems Engineering Framework by investigating who benefits from models on Agile Teams and what type and fidelity of models provide the benefits. As proposed in this paper the combination of agile development and modeling is a new concept that requires further data gathering and investigation to determine if it will result in im‐provement in productivity and risk reduction without losing the benefits of agile methodology.
