Highly Iterative Product Development Process for Engineering Projects

Abstract:

Many companies are exposed to the challenge to fulfill constantly growing heterogeneous costumer requirements and simultaneously deliver the highest quality standards for their products. One way to face these challenges is the highly iterative product development approach. The content of this approach is the division of the current development process in many short and iterative sub processes (sprints). This procedure enables a regular involvement of the customer in the development process and an early validation of the development status which jointly results in costumer-specific and marketable products. As a consequence of this short-cycled approach the requirements for the practiced process of development projects change fundamentally. However, most companies do not know how this new short-cycle development process has to look like for their daily project work. This is due to the fact that most published papers just deal with the description of how the highly iterative methods look like, however, without considering the challenges an implementation in a producing company involves. This paper aims at the presentation of a standard approach for the handling of highly iterative product development projects.
