Moriya Kassis presents strategies for implementing agile methodologies in hardware product development to overcome challenges in innovation lifecycles. He emphasizes the importance of iterating on discrete functionalities, collaborating effectively within teams, and obtaining necessary certifications early in the process. The guidance includes avoiding common pitfalls and encouraging a focus on functional prototypes rather than aesthetic perfection.
Don't be too hard for agile; How to go lean with hardware
- 1. Don’t be too hard for agile; How to go lean with hardware
- 2. I am Moriya Kassis Hello! Product Management Consultant for hardware & IoT companies, and the Founder of the biggest PM communities in Israel &
- 3. Why is this ME standing on this stage and talking about this subject?
- 4. “ We are at the beginning of the re-rise of Consumer Electronics, when the problem of unifying development lifecycles is fast becoming the biggest impediment of innovation.
- 5. Agile = Decision Model
- 6. Are you doing the right product?
- 7. Are you doing the right product? Are you doing the product right?
- 8. Agile methodology makes it possible to improve upon an original HW design without significantly increasing spending and time required.
- 9. The Don’ts:
- 10. Don’t talk SW with your mouth full of HW: 1 Get ready to learn some new techniques and try to enjoy leaving your agile SW experience aside
- 11. Don’t have MacGyvers in your team:2 Developers should work in pairs to reduce the time needed for training and documentation. Mix the firmware and the hardware geniuses to work together
- 12. Don’t forget the certifications:3 Make sure to get started on necessary certifications early, and skip the nice-to-haves
- 13. But it’s easier to tell you what not to do, than...
- 14. The Dos:
- 15. Finite Iteration:1 Break down the elements of your separate prototypes further, and iterate on the most discrete units of functionality that you can.
- 16. Do a majority of the people you ask to play with your prototype tell you that the button is awkward? Getting buttons with the right click-feel is one discrete element to iterate on.
- 17. A digital
- 18. A digital or a physical component?
- 19. What shape of a button?
- 20. What shape of a button?
- 21. Do a majority of the people you ask to play with your prototype tell you that the button is awkward? Getting buttons with the right click-feel is one discrete element to iterate on. Button placement is another one.
- 22. Button placement is another one.
- 23. Button placement is another one.
- 24. Button placement is another one.
- 25. Separate Prototypes:2 Make 2 different objects -
- 26. Separate Prototypes:2 Make 2 different objects – an ugly black box ‘works like’ prototype,
- 28. Separate Prototypes:2 Make 2 different objects – an ugly black box ‘works like’ prototype, and an entirely non-functiona‘l looks like’.
- 30. Re-define the term demo-able component. Every single time:3 An iteration is a product version somewhere between a “virtual product” through to a “ready- to-trial prototype”
- 31. Similarity to the final component actual subsystem Ease of development Spectrum of options for a subsystem
- 32. Similarity to the final component actual subsystem Ease of development Spectrum of options for a subsystem
- 33. Spectrum of options for a subsystem Similarity to the final component actual subsystem Ease of development
- 34. Similarity to the final component actual subsystem Ease of development Spectrum of options for a subsystem
- 35. Fast Over Fancy:3 There will always be newer-faster-better tinkering toys, and you can spend forever researching them. Instead, find things that work and use them to build a functioning prototype.
- 36. “ People care about whether you’ve made something that they want
- 37. Make tradeoff:4 To be able to plan after you demo’d the previous one, make tradeoffs in terms of: Frequency of Integration Depth of integration Fidelity of feedback
