Among the most vexing issues facing new product developers today are the complexities caused by the growing requirement to integrate hardware and software design — and the ever-increasing need for more robust collaboration across multi-disciplinary teams to achieve it.
In this enhanced version of a recent LEI webinar, John Drogosz, lean product and process development (LPPD) coach, takes a detailed look at Agile and LPPD, two leading development methodologies that teams can use to meet this challenge. In addition, he offers insights and advice that will help development teams determine the most effective method for managing a new product or service’s creation, launch, and delivery for their specific situation.
