Agile Methods for Safety-Critical Systems: Case Studies of Medical Product Companies
Although many inspiring, creative stories of real teams in real companies show how Agile and Lean principles can be used to make a vital difference in safety-critical applications, these cases are often known only to limited groups - those directly involved and attendees at smaller industry conferences. They deserve a bigger audience. This book - a follow-up to our earlier book (see below) - names the companies and products involved. The cases we examine provide a variety of lessons for businesses looking to gain the benefits of Agile, Lean, and systems thinking. Taken together, the stories also suggest the breadth of applications of Agile when you start to think outside the box of software development.

Recent stories of Agile application in the regulated medical industry show how first principles (from Agile, from Lean, and from systems thinking) led to solutions that served the individual company exquisitely well, and were compliant with regulatory needs (whether in Europe, the U.S., or elsewhere in the world).
- Understand how Agile can fit into a strictly regulated environment
- More disciplined approach to Agile methods works with the spirit of Agile and with reg needs
- In each case, where methods were figured out within the group, they arrived at something which fit superbly to their own needs
- Any company can do this by applying first principles from Agile/Lean/Systems thinking
Agile Methods for Safety-Critical Systems: A Primer Using Medical Device Examples
This book, packed with real-world insights and direct experiences, is for managers who want the benefits of Agile but also must address regulatory compliance, integration of software with other disciplines, and product safety. In it, we combine our understanding of Agile development, hardware/software integration, and regulatory requirements. We know that Agile is simple but not easy; leadership is crucial to make this change spread. We aim to show how you can navigate the transition.

ShoeBar Associates: Now Featured on Decision Dialogues
On episode 3 of Decision Dialogues, Brian Shoemaker, Founder and Principal Consultant at ShoeBar Associates, talks with Mark Willoughby and Laurie Kane Burkhardt about progressing from a relatively comfortable role as a quality manager, which left him feeling unfulfilled and yearning for more, into starting and running his own consultancy. Brian discusses the decisions he faced, the importance of having a supportive partner who urged him to pursue his new frontier, the role Agile Methodology has played both as a tool to teach companies and in the writing of a book he co-authored, and his adoption of Agile Methodology in his own decision making. |
