Currently, a lot of companies transfer their product development processes from a phase-oriented to an agile process. This paper describes our research on the integration of mechatronic product development methods into the agile development process. The integration of the methods supports agile product development of mechatronic products with the goal to develop better products and increase the success of agile development processes in non-IT areas.

The result is a model, which integrates agile steps with mechatronic tasks and usable product development methods.     «
