Hardware Development: Agile and Co-Design

The development of devices that combine hardware and software has created new challenges. The new built devices have a short life cycle and frequently require upgrading. The software industry attends to these requests with agile methods, such as Scrum. Agile methods apply quick iterations and continuous preplanning based on feedback and past iterations, enabling a quick and continuous delivery for those requests. This scenario is being analyzed when applied to hardware or software development and used along with agile methodologies.
