Be effective as well as efficient

In our view at Agile Factory, it is more important to develop the right product than to develop the wrong product in the right way.

Agile in business is an effective way to develop innovative and sustainable products and processes at an unprecedented rate.

In a nutshell, Agile Methodology in business, proceeds in small steps with increments and product changes, adjusting subsequent ones as they emerge.

Adaptive planning: scrum and story mapping

Agile planning adapts to what emerges during the project and is particularly applicable to complex projects with high unpredictability.
It is based on agile practices such as scrum and story mapping and integrates other methodologies including traditional and lean project management.

Impact of the Agile Method in the enterprise

The Agile company becomes a creative, self-organized laboratory that values people.
It is based on values such as cooperation, transparency, flexibility, and knowledge sharing, regardless of department.

Why Agile methodology

why methodology in gileThe adoption of the “Agile” approach allows products to be developed using the agile methodology, taking into consideration, from the outset, various aspects such as environmental design and ease of construction and assembly. With the integration of physical and design activities in a common environment and elastic planning, it is possible to converge quickly toward the desired outcome, reducing short product development times and the cost of delaying the market.

Who the Agile method is aimed at

to whom the agile method is addressedThe agile method is aimed at to entrepreneurs, technical managers, R&D managers, project managers and all those involved who understand the importance of improving the company not only through process efficiency, but also by developing the product “right,” minimizing the cost of market delay and putting people at the center of decision making.apibus leo.

Efficiency in product development

product development efficiencyIn meeting the challenges of the enterprise, efficient management of custom orders and efficient product development are significant challenges. To optimize these activities, it is essential to break down the activities in detail, accurately estimating the effort required and planning execution over time.

Detailed breakdown of activities

Detailed breakdown of activitiesThe detailed breakdown of activities enables better management of custom orders, estimating the effort required and planning for short lead times. In addition, in the case of new product development, it is necessary to assign the same priority as customer orders, selecting a dedicated agile team protected from other orders.

Fast product development

Rapid product Iteration

Rapid industrialization of products

Parallel development of multiple products

parallel development of multiple productsParallel development of multiple products can be managed by creating separate team members focused on a single product, enabling simultaneous progress and maximizing the overall efficiency of the development process.

Keeping the project plan up to date

updated project planDefining relevant appointments and project duration, and standardizing them, is critical to keep the project plan up-to-date in the face of constant changes. Products often have common project appointments, simplifying the management process and coordination.

Development of products with incomplete specifications

products incomplete specificationsInstead of waiting for a better specification description, time can be invested in design development activities using Canvas and particularly the Lean Canvas as a starting point for identifying and refining essential product requirements. This allows development to begin in a timely manner, reducing delays and maximizing the useful time available.

Commercial success of developed products

Commercial success of the products developedIn order to achieve better commercial success with the developed products, it is advisable to conduct a market exploration phase by also involving technical functions. This allows timely feedback to be gathered and market interest to be assessed, enabling any changes or continuous improvement of the product to be made during development itself, optimizing its commercial appeal.

Parallel product development and marketing plan with Agile

This allows communication and promotion strategies to be adapted according to the product’s distinctive features, increasing its visibility early on and attracting customers more easily.
