Agile Invention: Zehn Erfolgsthesen: Wie agile Arbeitsweisen erfolgreich in die frühen Phasen des Innovationsprozesses integriert werden (Teil 2)

A defined innovation process is necessary today for the economic success of the company. Classically deterministic innovation processes are increasingly unable to respond to shorter product life cycles and faster changing customer needs. (Schuh, 2017) One solution is the consistent integration of agile working methods into the innovation process. They enable companies to anticipate market needs early, identify technological solutions at the right time and to develop suitable business models. Together with a consortium of leading industrial companies the Fraunhofer Institut für Produktionstechnologie IPT (Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology) and t he Werkzeugmaschinenlabor der RWTH Aachen WZL (Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering in Aachen) have identified ten theses for the successful use of agile working methods in the early stages of the innovation process
