“…scaling agile) was still not achieved in this organization by the time this research was conducted. Unlike [5] study where mindset and team distribution were revealed as additional challenges in hardware development, in this study this factor were not challenging. Instead, the agile mindset of top management and the team co-location had a positive influence on implementing LAPM in this organization.…”

“…Similarly to this research, [11] research considers lack of teamwork and resistance from groups or individuals as key people factors that could cause the failure of the agile implementation. Like [5] study suggests that one of the main challenges in hardware development is realizing potentially shippable increments in one iteration, these teams also struggled to deliver functionality within regular time-box (Sprint). Although increments were a Scrum artifact in SSA projects, the team did not deliver them within Sprint but rather in irregular periods based on the needs of customer and their possibilities.…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibilities, challenges and benefits of implementing Lean & agile project management in manufacturing SMEs. Lean & agile project management methods were originally developed for the software development industry, where they have revolutionized the way projects are managed. In the last decade, practitioners outside software development industry have started to realize the potential and benefits of implementing the agile approach. However, there are still only a few researches devoted to agile hardware development, and even fewer on the possibilities of its implementation in SMEs. By conducting a case study in the only manufacturing SMEs that has successfully implemented Scrum, analysing internal company’s documents and interviewing several employees and top managers from different sectors, who participated in the projects where Scrum was implemented, the lessons this organization has learned and that could be beneficial for both researchers and practitioners, are reported. The findings from this research show that although some adaptions of the Scrum framework were required, the applicability of the Scrum in this manufacturing SME was possible and beneficial.

“…There are many different agile methods available for software development, among the most popular being: Scrum, Kanban, eXtreme Programming (XP), Crystal methods, and others (Atzberger and Paetzold, 2019). All the methods share the same idea of continuous value delivery and responsiveness to changes, but differ in the depth of guidance and breadth of the life cycles.…”

“…Second, agile software development exploits the modular architectures that allow the breaking down of the code into smaller independent modules. Physical products are much harder to modularize, since there are many inter-dependencies between different functions (Atzberger and Paetzold, 2019; Ullman, 2019). One possibility is to apply the DSM method that enables finding mutually exclusive or minimally interacting modules and also identifies the interactions or links between them (Yassine and Braha, 2003).…”

Agile-Concurrent hybrid: A framework for concurrent product development using Scrum

Agile development became very popular at the beginning of the 21st century when the Manifesto for Agile Software Development was released. Since then, it has been predominant in the software industry and has been increasingly transferred to the development of physical products due to its great success. There are many studies on Agile-Stage-Gate hybrids that combine agile Scrum and the traditional Stage-Gate model, however no research has been found that addresses a direct integration of Scrum into a concurrent product development model in a similar way. In this paper, we therefore examine the possibility of introducing Scrum into the concurrent product development and propose a Scrum framework for an Agile-Concurrent hybrid. We propose that the framework for concurrent development remains unchanged: the stages overlap and the track-and-loop approach is preserved, while Scrum is proposed for the execution of day-to-day work. The main advantage of the proposed hybrid is that after each iteration the customer reviews the results of an entire loop, not just of one stage, which enables a broader understanding of the progress and facilitates a more extensive feedback. A quicker resolution of discrepancies, and a faster and more effective response to change is thus ensured. In the paper, the needed organizational changes and potential implementation issues are also discussed.
