“…Consequently, APM has started to gain recognition also outside the software industry. Due to some discipline-specific differences, a direct transfer of APM methods to other industry sectors is not possible [37], but the so-called hybrid models have started to emerge that can represent a good alternative for non-software companies [38].…”

A New Product Development Model for SMEs: Introducing Agility to the Plan-Driven Concurrent Product Development Approach

In order to survive in today’s highly competitive global market, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have had to transition from sequential to concurrent product development, which significantly shortens development cycles, reduces costs, and ensures high product quality. Despite its many benefits, concurrent product development is still based on detailed upfront planning and cannot address the challenges related to today’s ever-growing uncertainty, constantly changing environment, and unstable requirements. A potential solution to this problem could be in more flexible and value-driven agile project management (APM) approaches, typical of software development. In this paper, we propose a new product development model specifically appropriate for SMEs that combines concurrent product development principles with APM elements. It is designed as a loop of five repetitive steps (macroplan, microplan, iteration activities, review, and retrospective) that are being executed within individual concurrent development loops. The application of the model is presented on a real case example of process development and small batch manufacture of a complex wiring harness. The study reveals many benefits of the proposed model, such as improved communication, faster detection of discrepancies, more effective problem solving, and greater flexibility. A positive impact on project success is also observed.

“…Furthermore, Cooper (2016) designed an Agile-Stage-Gate Hybrid Model to combine the advantages of stage-gate and agile processes. Riesener et al (2018) developed a framework to support the process-related combination of agile and plan-driven approaches in design projects. Götz and Maier (2007) have generated an adaptive product development process that does not adapt to changing framework conditions in the company, but to the product to be developed.…”

Approach for the Development and Application of Target Process Module Sets

The implementation of agile frameworks, such as SAFe, in large companies causes conflicts between the overall product development process with a rigid linkage to the calendar cycles and the continuous agile project planning. To resolve these conflicts, adaptive processes can be used to support the creation of realistic target-processes, i.e. project plans, while stabilizing process quality and simplifying process management. This enables the usage of standardisation methods and module sets for design processes.The objective of this contribution is to support project managers to create realistic target-processes through the usage of target-process module sets. These target-process module sets also aim to stabilize process quality and to simplify process management. This contribution provides an approach for the development and application of target-process module sets, in accordance to previously gathered requirements and evaluates the approach within a case study with project managers at AUDI AG (N=21) and an interview study with process authors (N=4) from three different companies.

“…This interest is being driven by the need to deal with new market challenges, such as complexity and innovation, and different types of projects in the same organization. In these cases, the variety of interrelated factors, aligned with the uniqueness of each project, means that the use of pure management approaches (agile and waterfall) do not fully meet the needs of each case (Adelakun et al, 2017;Riesener et al, 2018;Ambler & Lines, 2018).…”
