Key to driving innovation is not just the ideas that will create the next big block buster, but also methods and means to building and maintaining the product. Adopting Agile into R&D has been core to our building of products and cutting time to market.

Often companies that try to adopt Agile face challenges in their talent being able to understand and transition to the Agile methodology of development. It is typical for technology organizations to try to adopt the text book style of Agile and fall into the pits. We recommend tailoring the methodology to create a hybrid that addresses the aspects of product development lifecycle and the nature of work involved. Also the talent will need some degree of coaching in understanding how to go about implementing the methodology that work for them.
