The role of OHB-DS

OHB Digital Services (OHB-DS) designs and coordinates SPRINT4EO, involves suitable implementers and provides EO data access, quality assurance and evaluation of the results. The approach is based on a lean, Scrum-inspired procedure with clear sprint goals, regular reviews and iterative improvement. The focus is on rapid prototypes, robust evidence and reuse.
