The Internet of Things (IoT) offers immense possibilities for product development: not only for connecting existing products and harnessing the data they generate to deliver new value and functionality, but also for entirely new product and service concepts. However, the ‘always-connected’ nature of the IoT implies the constant generation of data and feedback. This, in turn, means that products must move from the traditional product development cycle—design, manufacture, deliver—to a new world of dynamic innovation driven by deep, often real-time, product-derived market and customer insight. Gaining competitive advantage in this new world means maximizing the speed and responsiveness of product-design processes. Agile approaches are proven to deliver these benefits for software development; this paper examines how they can be extended to provide the same benefits to the end-to- end product design cycle.
