Agile development gets more and more relevant in non-IT development processes. Main reasons are the flexibility and the shorter reaction times. The different conditions of physical products compared to software products are current challenges for the use of agile product development methods. This project focuses especially on a medical product development by using scrum to develop agile. After each sprint, the scrum process was adapted to the respective circumstances. Additionally, the team participated a survey, which focuses on collaboration and team behavior aspects. The survey is based on the Teamclimate Inventory. Results of the research were amongst others a 3D printed microtiter plate, best practices for scrum in medical device development and the survey. Based on the implementation of agile methods in this project and the survey a recommendation model of an agile medical device development is derived.     «
