Thanks for joining our Webinar!
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.
What we covered:
- What makes HW so different than SW?
- Modified Agile for Hardware overview
- Benefits of MAHD over waterfall
- Who’s going MAHD?
- How to get started
About MAHD
The Modified Agile for Hardware Development Framework is an open source initiative developed by Auxilium in collaboration with other industry leaders.
