Agile Development and Production

Abstract

Agile development and production is hugely important as development and adoption cycles shrink. The clock-speed of virtually every industry is being shortened by digital disruption. The objective of agile development and production is to move iteratively as quickly as possible from idea to a product or service, which meets a need or opportunity. Agile production is about creating and supporting the processes, training and tools quickly and iteratively create new products and services as well as responding to customer needs and market shifts. A key enabling factor is the development of a production support tools to allow the relevant organization members from designers, developers, and marketers to a common database of code and other parts. As different products cycle through the production process from concept to product or service, they draw upon and also add to the manufacturing support platform.
