Why do they still endure long, slow loopbacks? Why do organizations waste valuable time and resources fixing problems in late development that could have been found earlier?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoftware and hardware teams face separate problems at different stages. But some Agile Software experts suggest that the necessary solutions are often the same. We've seen too many implementations of Agile tools and practices that just don't translate to physical products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors have personally had to untangle many physical product teams who used Agile in ways that slowed them down, caused rigidity and sacrificed the full potential of their outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you want to get the speed, flexibility and responsiveness of agile principles without force-fitting a method that was designed to solve a different set of problems, this book is for you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen Agile Gets Physical\u003c\/em\u003e reveals how you'll use the best parts of Agile to accelerate your time-to-market with proven methods, and: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the common problems hardware teams have experienced for decades can easily be avoided.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow you'll get a stronger product that beats your competition to market up to 50%+ faster by building a reusable library of resources every team member can understand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Agile Software advocates are getting wrong about physical product development and why abandoning agile principles isn't the answer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow a simple reframing of important decisions improves efficiency, communication, and results without losing the \"big picture view\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you feel like progress is too slow, your teams probably feel the same way.

As you explore an idea for a product, you learn new things that change the conceptualization of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile software engineers can easily make changes at any point in the process by writing new code, physical products are much harder to change once the team starts building prototypes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a hardware team to be fast, flexible and responsive, they need to be aware of the Last Responsible Moments to make their most important decisions. You'll learn how you can leverage this concept to preserve flexibility, even in areas that seem too rigid to do this effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is this book for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for anyone working on physical product development.
