Abstract

For companies it is essential to realise products quickly, economically and in a customer-oriented way. In this context approaches to agile and user-centred product development such as Scrum and Design Thinking are increasing in importance. Compared to traditional product development methods, agile methods promise higher quality and customer satisfaction coupled with reduced expenditure.

Objective

Design and realisation of product development projects for future transport systems: Participants are familiar with the methods and procedures of agile and user-centred product development and are able to apply them profitably in their enterprises.

Content

Participants define an innovation theme themselves in groups, and a selection of topics is then drawn from this theme for module group work. The module takes participants through the whole process, from the analysis of target groups and their requirements through project conception and planning to implementation in example form. The course is practical and uses concrete examples. At the end of the module participants will have deployed the methods of agile and user-centred product development to work very practically through a theme they have developed themselves, and will have become familiar with the typical application scenarios, advantages and hurdles associated with these methods.
