Agile PD Pros trainers and consultants have helped teams develop new, innovative products faster and with more focus on customer value for over 20 years. As Agile leaders, we co-founded the Modified Agile for Hardware Development (MAHD) Framework for developers of HW-based systems to get the benefits of Agile while meeting the specific challenges of physical product development. Contact us to learn how we can help your team deliver better products, faster. Read more about our history and team below.
We view NPD processes as merely a suite of tools and methods to guide work, improve decision-making and drive efficiency. It’s the people in a company, from executives down to executors, that determine how well these tools are used. Our focus is to provide the best professional NPD tools available and give teams and leaders the skills to use them effectively.
The skills, tools, & leadership techniques to deliver products faster and more efficiently.
The methods and skills to relentlessly focus on customer value through rapid learning cycles.
The methods and tactics to build agility into each stage of NPD from portfolio planning to sustaining engineering.
