How to Get Started with Rapid Learning Cycles
Achieve successful adoption of the RLC framework in your organization from the start
Your Starting Point: Start With the Workshop
The two-day Rapid Learning Cycles Global Project Leader workshop is the best place to start.
- If you are not sure if RLC is for you, the workshop experience can help you evaluate that.
- For small to medium sized teams, it will give you enough to get started on your own
- For large teams, regulated industries, or complex projects, it will give you a strong foundation to work with a Rapid Learning Cycles Certified® Consultant so that your team can work efficiently with them.
- If you've been struggling with Agile for Hardware, the workshop will give you a counter-example of how agile principles, properly applied, can work with your teams instead of against them.

An Agile development process that works
Your organization has gone Agile but none of your coaches seem to understand the work you do. You're being asked to do things that don't make sense, and you can't help but think that there must be a better way.
A guided, self-paced program we run with your team.
Training and coaching from a global consultant, dedicated to demonstrating the value of RLC through your pilot project.
Guidance and support from a credible expert who knows how to bridge the gap between HW and SW forms of agile.
Get Rapid Learning Cycles results from your very first pilot project
More than ten years of experience with the RLC framework shows one thing consistently: teams that go all-in on the framework without diluting it, get these results from their very first project.
30%
faster projects
Teams using Rapid Learning Cycles for the first time typically get their product to market 30% faster in markets without fixed launch dates. In seasonal or consumer products, teams avoid the costs of expedited rework that increases product cost.
400%
average ROI on first pilot
Faster development means lower development costs, fewer full system/production prototype runs, and smoother relations with vendors that all lower total development costs. Product costs often go down too, as teams make better decisions that optimize their designs.
