Managing variation while maintaining compliance is a balancing act many organizations face, especially in regulated industries. In my recent discussions with Sheila Schultz, we explored how the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) offers a flexible approach to this challenge. By leveraging the different configurations within SAFe—such as Essential, Portfolio, and Large Solution—organizations can tailor agile practices to fit their unique structures. For example, in the automotive industry, we align SAFe with ISO 26262 to ensure functional safety at every level, from strategic themes and safety goals to coding and system architecture. At PEDCO AG, we help businesses navigate this complexity with Applied SAFe®, a tool that integrates safety and compliance into agile practices. By building in tailoring questions, companies can adjust their approach based on the project's risks, ensuring safety remains a priority while scaling agile methodologies to suit their needs. #Agile #SAFe #Compliance #ScaledAgile #AppliedSAFe #RegulatedEnvironments

Agile 101: In well-run organisation, engineering teams must have a certain level of autonomy in order to do their jobs right. Intermingling between business and engineering should be encouraged but this should NOT lead to business overriding engineering decisions.

I am neither a pure Agilist nor a V-Model advocate. Both methodologies have their place. Agile excels in dynamic environments with changing requirements, while Waterfall is ideal when requirements are clear and stable. However, most environments aren't so black and white, especially in embedded software development. Challenges such as hardware integration, performance constraints, and regulatory requirements add complexity. To navigate these, I focus on: ▶ Iterative development with a clear view of intermediate milestones and end goals. Avoiding the pitfall of only short-term focus. ▶ Documenting requirements and architecture to support a 15-year product lifecycle. ▶ Establishing a comprehensive test strategy, incorporating hardware and performance testing early. What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear your ideas and experiences. #EmbeddedSystems #Agile #VModel #SoftwareDevelopment #ProjectManagement #HardwareIntegration #PerformanceTesting #SafetyStandards #RegulatoryCompliance #IterativeDevelopment #Documentation #TestStrategy #ProductLifecycle
