Episode 68: Agile for Hardware - It's About the Principles

🎙️ In this episode of the Take5IRL podcast, our host @Jeff is joined by @Peter Borsella, co-founder of Big Orange Square with Hubert Smits and a leading expert in Agile for hardware. Together, they dive into the unique challenges of applying Agile in hardware development—a world where traditional software practices don’t always translate smoothly. Peter shares insights on how many organizations are advised to adopt Agile in hardware just as they would in software, but the reality is far more complex. Discover how his approach keeps core Agile principles intact while adapting them to the industrial setting, making Agile work for hardware teams. Listen in as they discuss why simply “throwing it over the fence” isn’t enough. Peter emphasizes the importance of involving all teams in the process, enabling everyone to contribute meaningfully, without needing every member on a cross-functional team. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to make Agile work in hardware environments. #Agile #HardwareDevelopment #IndustrialAgile #CrossFunctionalTeams #AgileHardware #Innovation #Take5IRL #agilityIRL
