Agile Methods for Physical and Cyber-Physical Product Development

2 Days | Instructor-Led Training | Certification included

Subjects that will be discussed:

  • Agile for Complex Products – Apply agile methods to physical and cyber-physical development
  • Faster & Smarter Development – Improve efficiency while ensuring quality and compliance
  • Stronger Collaboration – Enhance teamwork across engineering, stakeholders, and suppliers

Course overview

CIOs, Heads of R&D, and other decision-makers are facing similar challenges: The development of physical and cyber-physical products is under growing pressure due to increasing complexity, strict regulatory requirements, and a highly dynamic market environment. Agile methods provide a decisive advantage in making development processes more efficient, flexible, and innovative.

This course builds on the content of the SAFe® for Hardware training and expands it with hands-on insights from our extensive experience in developing complex hardware and software products. In addition to established SAFe principles, participants gain valuable insights into proven agile practices that have been successfully applied in real projects.
