Rapid Learning Cycles is an adaptation of Agile for hardware and other physical products — and other parts of the business where decisions are irreversible or expensive to change.
In these areas, the assumptions that drive the practices and tools of Agile Software Development do not hold true. Instead, we use the principles of Agile to deliver value early, while avoiding the waste of revisited decisions.
- Pull learning forward to eliminate uncertainty and burn down risk.
- Make decisions at the right time with the right people and the best available knowledge.
- Experience acceleration with less frustration, as the team encounters fewer roadblocks on the path to launch.
