We introduce two federated learning frameworks for the classical SPDnet model operating on symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices with Stiefel-constrained parameters. Unlike standard Euclidean averaging, which violates orthogonality, our approach preserves geometric structure through two efficient aggregation strategies: ProjAvg, projecting arithmetic means onto the Stiefel manifold, and RLAvg, approximating tangent-space averaging via retractions and liftings. Both methods are computationally efficient, independent of the optimizer, and enable scalable federated learning for signal processing applications whose features are SPD matrices. Simulations on EEG motor imagery benchmarks show that FedSPDnet outperforms federated EEGnet in F1 score and robustness to federation and partial participation, while using fewer parameters per communication round.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.
