Engineering Agility

"Engineering Agility: A Pragmatic Approach to Adapting Agile Practices for Hardware Product Development" by Ali Hajou and Marina Voropaeva.

This book shows how the principles of the Agile Manifesto can be applied specifically to the challenges of building physical products. You will explore how to form effective, stable engineering teams, improve communication amongst multiple engineering competences, and adapt agile practices to different situations hardware teams experience. We will elaborate on the inherent risks seen in hardware projects, such as team instability, the domino effect of delays, and the high cost of late design changes, and share approaches on how to overcome them. This book helps you understand how to adjust methods, practices, and techniques to speed up hardware development, work more efficiently, and overcome costly project overruns.

Using the principles of the Agile Manifesto as a base, but explaining them through the lens of hardware product development, this book allows you to construct or "engineer" your own Agile way of working using practical examples, proven approaches, and best practices.
