Dear reader,
Lean and agile development help to reduce waste, to strengthen teams and to deliver results as fast as possible. But, Lean often fails due to inadequate implementation. For companies it is therefore crucial to professionally address the change towards lean development. Change management which takes care of executives and employees is the key to success. Our keynote presentation at the PROFES 2010 conference reflects from a variety of customer projects in various industries how changes are successfully implemented.
Requirements engineering is today the most important success factor in developing critical systems, such as medical, automotive, railway, industrial automation and aerospace. Together with Siemens, Vector has summarized experiences from current projects. The presentation begins with an analysis of typical challenges and then highlights solutions and best practices with concrete guidance how to improve requirements engineering for critical systems.
Testing consumes almost half of the life-cycle costs of technical products and is absolutely necessary for product quality and market success — as recent incidents, that were immediately published, show. Our overview presentation from 2010 Euroforum highlights, how a thorough strategy for analysis and test can help to optimize quality while reducing cost and cycle time.
Budgets for engineering are growing, and so is cost pressure. Vector Consulting Services (VCS) has spoken with clients from various industries to identify where technical product development is heading and which themes are relevant for 2010 and beyond. We have outlined five major trends and supplemented them with concrete recommendations. These trends and guidances are freely available for you.
Developing something new isn't always as simple as one might hope for. Even the wheel did not immediately turn people. Allow yourself two minutes to watch innovation management in the stone age.
