AgileDesign

A collection of short articles on agile product development.

Future

Sometime in the future... unlike other references that tend to focus on a single aspect of product development (for example, Scrum) or treat software and hardware as silos of design, this set of articles presents a real-world, holistic perspective on what it takes to create an integrated system of hardware, software, and people.
