Quality in product design and engineering through iterative approaches

  • The primary goal of product development is to address customer needs and by making efficient use of the available human, financial and time resources.

  • The lack of integration of customer feedback, long development cycles and insufficient testing can lead to a product being released too late, too expensively or not with the desired quality and functionality.

  • Agile development with a focus on customer value, the consistent pursuit of an MVP mindset and the establishment of efficient testing activities reduce the risk of wasted resources and significantly increase the likelihood of product success

Time to end the debate: leverage data protection

Data protection and trust together serve as the raw material for a successful digital economy. There exist clear potential for opportunities in the active, technology based design of compliance with legal requirements.

Market situation in Product Design & Engineering

 

The goal of product development is to develop a product tailored to the customer's needs in a short time and thus in a way that conserves resources. The challenges here are manifold. Due to long development cycles without adequate integration of customer feedback, customer needs are often only inadequately addressed. This can lead to low adaptation of the product. Necessary adaptations of the product to subsequently address target group needs result in higher costs. Agile implementation methods address these challenges, while at the same time the timing of a changeover from waterfall to agile must be well chosen due to organisational implications, especially regarding the required mindset and skillset.
We support our clients throughout the entire value chain, from requirements engineering to go-live, in the realisation of short release cycles, efficient use of resources and the development of products tailored to customer needs. In doing so, we pursue a consistent MVP approach. Our strengths lie in the areas of product design, UI/UX design, test management, release management, app and web security and go-live management.

 

How we approach challenges

 

Our methods and approaches are as diverse as our clients' requirements. We follow an MVP approach, which allows us to iteratively develop products in smaller increments and thereby quickly achieve presentable and testable results. By incorporating user feedback at an early stage, we ensure that released products and features are tailored to the needs of the target group.
Using approaches such as Domain Driven Design, we model complex business and technical systems with the participation of business and IT experts. During development, we rely primarily on agile methods and, depending on the project setup, use Scrum, Kanban or scaling approaches such as LeSS or DSDM. We use approaches such as Test-Driven Development and Behaviour-Driven Testing to efficiently test the resulting software.
