Agile-Stage-Gate® Hybrids

• Stage Gate® is a method of cross-functional coordination.
• Agile work is best for specific tasks like optimizing a concept or optimizing a scale-up.
• Therefore, one can use Agile philosophy and tools in these stages within a product development process.

What Comes after Agile resp. Agile-Stage-Gate® Hybrids?

• In many cases the Agile approach has shortened the projects and resulted in better products:
• Especially when the market and technology is changing during the project duration.
• Agile has led to longer project durations for line-extension products.
• Stage-Gate® has products and features (components) under one project or program.
• This has created lots of ambiguities and limits.
• Let us separate projects, products and features.
