...and if you're wondering how else you can stay ahead in New Product Development, we're here to help.

Can't I Do This On My Own?

Of course. That's part of how we designed the framework to unfold. It's a tool that's suited to what you're doing, without having to bring on a coach every time you need guidance.

But our team of experts is also here to help you maintain your new product innovation and R&D. You can get even more from RLC than the workshops, when it's most critical.

We understand that developing physical products is a constant process that technically never ends. Keeping your teams on track during the projects that matter the most is key to rolling out a new product smoothly. With a major consultation, you get the help when you need it, where it counts.

Where Do Our Teams Start?

Wherever the weakest and strongest links may be. If teams are deviating from best practices, we'll help refresh them. If you know your teams are in the right place and want to demonstrate to them why, we can do that too.

You may not feel that this is something you'd like right now, and that's okay. A free consultation call on where we can add value to your projects could be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. We can make a plan and strategize so that when you are ready, we'll be there.

If you'd like to explore these methods on your own, you can order a copy of Katherine Radeka and Kathy Iberle's new book When Agile Gets Physical. Click the button below to learn more, and determine which stage you're at now.

Get When Agile Gets Physical

Your Rapid Learning Cycles Expert: Katherine Radeka

Katherine Radeka has deep experience getting physical-product teams unstuck. In 2015, she began to see an increase in the misuse of Agile Software Development practices by hardware teams. She began a series of projects she came to call “Agile Rescue Missions” because of the urgency to take action to get teams unstuck.

Since then she’s led over a dozen of these projects for leading companies around the world, most of whom have transitioned rapidly to full adoption of Rapid Learning Cycles in early development. In late development, teams use a blend of traditional project management with a few tailored Agile practices to improve coordination, especially with firmware and software teams that use Agile Software methods.

In 2022, she documented her experiences in the book When Agile Gets Physical, co-written with her long-time collaboration partner, Kathy Iberle.
