Agile Hardware by Doing

Hardware product development, “Agile Hardware by doing,” has special characteristics that must be considered by those who want to adopt an Agile approach.

The application of Agile principles and practices in the hardware development process"

Physical products or hardware must satisfy multiple aspects starting with the perspectives of constructability, material availability, cost, ease of maintenance, and security. And not to mention their environmental impact during development, operative functioning, and at the end of its life due to the recycling of its parts.

Development should take into account this multiplicity of aspects from the beginning, and agile hardware methodology may be one way to do this effectively.

There are many skills involved, so there are often many teams, requiring new ways of managing them.

In this webinar we will start from a decade of experience in the agile factory implemented in a well-known job-order manufacturing company to see together how these special features were addressed.

Added to these are those that are met in any process of change first and foremost is the redefinition of the role of middle management, which is always greatly impacted by change that passes through self-organization and autonomy of teams.

Following is the presentation and video.

Discovery & Construction

Product Discovery Product Construction

I talk to you about innovative product development, inspired by the book “
Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love ” by Marty Kagan. There is a big difference between leading companies and others in the product creation process. The key concept is “product discovery”: exploring and testing ideas before investing heavily. This is integrated with “product delivery” or “construction.” The author of the book stresses the importance of prototypes, which in HW I prefer to call “pretotypes,” and tools such as Lean Canvas and Story Mapping. There is too much focus on Scrum, when instead it is important to create truly useful functionality. The book is recommended for those who want to truly innovate.

The pretypes i.e., the forerunners of the product

Pretypes are quick and inexpensive demonstrators to test key ideas before creating complete prototypes. I am talking about an automated palletizing project where we made a pretotype of the most critical component, which was the tray, in just 15 days. We saved several months and significant investment. This pretotype allowed us to validate the best materials with which to build the final tray.
