🚀 Adapting Agility to Hardware Development 🛠️ In today's fast-evolving world, hardware development needs to stay flexible—just like software. My latest article explores how Agile principles, often associated with software development, can be applied to hardware. ✅ Key insights from the article: - Modular & Set-Based Design: Improve flexibility and reduce risks by allowing design options to stay open longer. - Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Break down silos between hardware, software, and firmware, manufacturing teams to create aligned, high-quality products. - Iterative Development: Focus on incremental gains, whether that's validation of knowledge or physical design. Agile in hardware development requires a mindset shift—but the results are worth it! #AgileDevelopment #HardwareEngineering #ProductDesign #Innovation #ModularDesign #SetBasedDesign

Agile methodology is often perceived as an undisciplined approach to software development by many organizations. However, this is a misconception. In fact, Agile is an extremely disciplined approach if implemented correctly. It offers the much-needed flexibility to cater to the rapidly changing needs of our world. Discover how Guidehouse Defense and Security recommends organizations achieve more collaboration, innovation, and customer satisfaction by embracing an Agile culture.

Undertaking an Agile transformation requires an understanding of the entire software development life cycle (SDLC). Guidehouse has a proven history of helping government clients implement Agile projects of varying scopes. Read the article below, where we debunk six common myths about Agile implementation.

These are the principles behind the Agile Manifesto: 1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. 3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale. 4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project. 5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. There's more: https://lnkd.in/eVZ9ZSys
