High-velocity innovation

Making crucial design decisions early in the concept phase of a project, may lead to severe cost and time overruns when these decisions are based on assumptions and/or incomplete knowledge.

This causes redesign, re-development, and re-testing plus frustration across development and management. Rapid Learning Cycles, a framework for knowledge-intensive projects in the early phases of development, provides a solution. This Mikroniek article presents a test by VDL ETG in a pilot project.
