English Original : The best process is No process
The year before last, Wikispeed team
Set off an industry storm. They apply agile practices to the most traditional industries: the automotive industry. They developed a green car in 3 months, which had to go through a 10-25-year product life cycle.
And thanks to the test-driven development of independent components, the new car is designed with high quality standards. The car also follows a very high standard of safety. It took them only 3 days to develop a beautiful body. The car uses the lightest chassis in the industry to reach the five-star safety level. They respond quickly to changes in the iteration. None of this is a problem because they are very modular in their design . They can convert it from a convertible into a small, convertible truck, which only needs to be modified to the chassis.
Team founder Joe Justice says the following points are their most important success factors. Wikispeed Team:
- Very few materials are used.
- Actively reduce the cost of change to a minimum
- Work together on a highly motivated distributed team
- Cut training and write documents in pairs
- Visualize your workflow and discover that you can solve problems creatively without wasting time?
