10 Benefits of Agile for Hardware Over Waterfall

It’s clear now that agile processes are superior to traditional waterfall approaches. Hardware teams can get the same benefits from agile that software teams have discovered, but the methods must be modified for the needs of electronic, mechanical, firmware and other non-software oriented projects.

About MAHD

To make agile more practical for hardware development while still maintaining the advantages of agile, we created the Modified Agile for Hardware Development (MAHD) Framework. Contact us to learn more about how make agile work for your team.

Some of the advantages of agile for hardware include:

  • Dramatically reduced concept to design (front end) duration
  • Enhanced collaboration within and between teams
  • Increased focus on the product attributes critical for market success
  • Ability to make scope, resource and schedule tradeoffs early in development using iterative cycles
  • Improved transparency of progress, risks and dependencies
