Management of Digital Innovation

Innovation Processes

Agile-Stage-Gate Hybrid

  • Potential benefits
    • More responsive to changed (requirements, customer needs)
    • Better team communication
    • Integrated customer perspective effectively
    • Adresses resourcing (e.g. staffing) directly
      • Daily routines create a flow
    • Reduces cycle times
 
 
  • For radical new product innovation projects rather than incremental 
    • More uncertainty
    • Need for quick, iterative learning
  • Finish sprints with "protocepts" (Something to test with customers)
  • Dedicated teams
  • Warning
    • Different nature of software versus hardware development projects
      • Software: highly divisible (you can build "parts" that work within short sprints; hardware: not divisible)
