Development of a Methodology Profile Based on the Current Maturity Level of Agile Development in Mechatronic Product Engineering

The agile approaches established in software development are also increasingly being used in the development of physical products. Currently, their use and the applied process models often do not lead to the desired and sustainable success. This paper uses a survey and expert interviews to identify the general level of penetration of agile methods in the development of mechatronic systems as well as the challenges in the application and implementation of the process models used. The findings are used to develop a methodology profile, which represents the basis for a methodology toolbox.
