As manufacturers and suppliers of software-based systems face evolving market trends and disruptive innovations, they may find that keeping pace with these conditions requires a fundamental shift in the way they bring products to market.
Through iterative processes and enhanced internal communications, agile product development can help organizations optimize workflows, reduce uncertainly and risk, and meet overall project timelines.
Many companies adopt agile product delivery in efforts to overcome pain points such as decreasing time to market, understanding customer needs or mitigating the risks of late integration. Along the agile transformation journey, they seek an outlet to reflect on the status quo and brainstorm ideas for improvement. Other companies choose agile to scale their product development. Often, such companies seek the guidance of a knowledgeable, neutral expert on their agile development processes.
UL Solutions Software Intensive Systems can help. We offer interactive, customer-centered checkups to provide independent, individualized insights to help businesses improve product and process quality and meet business goals.
