Jira Align and the Development of Cyber-Physical Products

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) provides a comprehensive approach to developing cyber-physical (hardware-inclusive) solutions- often a complex set of integrated systems. When these large scale solutions include hardware, software and firmware, and also must meet regulatory compliance standards, applying lean-agile principles and practices become even more challenging.

In this webinar, we’ll provide an introduction to how product and solution management roles can use SAFe, Jira Align and more traditional engineering tools (we will use IBM’s Engineering Lifecycle Management as an example) to define and support the building of large scale, cyber-physical systems.
