Automotive HMI: management of product development using agile framework
| Resumo: | This work aims to investigate the compliance and potential benefits of applying Agile to automotive development. Technological innovation has had a strong impact on recent decades with a major focus on the automotive world. A growing amount of devices are connected to the car leading to a sharp increase of available functionalities, which are expected to grow in number and in complexity over the next few years. Therefore, in order to keep pace with technological growth, a constant renewal of human machine interface systems is required leading to a considerable decrease of the period of product life cycle in the automotive industry. Consequently, with the purpose of responding to competitiveness and matching the user needs, it is mandatory for the automotive world to adopt new development methods in order not only to manage the growing complexity but also to reduce the time to market, since this readiness is crucial to maximize the return of investment. The proposed solution aims to meet this necessity through the use of Agile methodologies, focused on iterative development and oriented to customer needs. Thus, an action research was conducted aiming to evaluate the efficiency and compliance between the framework and the automotive industry. After an initial study on Agile methods, a process was designed for an automotive development project, in partnership with a reputable company in the automotive industry. Data gathered along this case study shown the major benefits and drawbacks of employing the Agile into a development project. Finally, the implemented approach was matched with recognizable models as CMMI and ASPICE, revealing the Agile compliance for automotive industry.
